Do Browncoats Have Hope? While some shows fade into obscurity when canceled prematurely, there is at least one show that simply will not die. Fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly – Browncoats, we call ourselves – refuse to give up on our beloved Serenity and her crew of shiny misfits. With such dogged determination, could there be a possibility of fans launching a return flight?

By Jenn Kim – The third installation of the Dark Horse Serenity series is penned by Zack Whedon, aka the Best Rapper to Ever Perform in Commentary: the Musical, aka My Future Husband, but perhaps better known for being the Youngest of the Whedon Brothers, co-writer of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and writer of Fringe. Future Husband, along with Future Brother-in-Law Joss, provide Browncoats with the opportunity to receive the answer to the too-long burning question of: What up with Shepherd Book?

By Sonia Aurora – I’d heard whisperings of a Buffy reboot, in film form, which we all know was already done in film form. Badly. Seriously, Hollywood, are you so idea-starved that you can’t scavenge through Twitter or Facebook for other plotlines? Why, why, why are you trying to kill something not only I but so many others love so deeply, while also spitting in the face of its creator and mastery?

by Juliana Weiss-Roessler After getting up at 5 am yesterday, I decided to let myself sleep in this morning — that was a mistake. By the time I got to the Ballroom 20 line, it was already winding its way around the building. I resigned myself to the fact that I would miss the first [...]

by Amy Ratcliffe Back in high school (not so long ago, definitely not over a decade ago), it wasn’t easy to find fellow geeks. Besides the fact that I am from a small town, classmates didn’t usually wave their geek flags out in the open. They kept it tucked away in the dusty hall closet. [...]

by Juliana Weiss-Roessler I know the idea of seeing our favorite musical supervillain and his hammer-headed nemesis on the big screen has many people squeeing with delight, but it has me cringing. When I first heard the rumors that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog might have a film sequel instead of a web one, I instantly [...]

By Sonia Aurora – DeWitt is being a mega bitch throughout this episode, and Topher knows she’s dragging them towards Hell. I want to punch her, yell at her, shake her by the shoulders and ask why she’s just so horrible. I remember that she can’t hear me screaming at my TV set and I sit back down and lower my shaking fist.

By Sonia Aurora – Ask and ye shall receive: Echo (and Eliza) finally begin to demonstrate her specialness without cramming it down our throats. But, of course, this comes now, after the ax has fallen. Two of the most rounded, mystery answering and deepening episodes air with only a handful left ever for the story to finish. Bleh. Why does the Joss Whedon genius finally start to kick in now??? But, alas, I’ll just have to enjoy while the getting’s good.

By Lisa Fary – I gave up on Dollhouse early in the second season after faithfully watching for it’s entire flawed first season. I want to be impressed; I don’t like hating on stuff. But, Dollhouse is so. . . meh. However, I picked it back up now that’s it’s almost over and am still not terribly impressed. (“Not impressed” is an understatement – I was holding my head muttering, “Get the camera off Echo and Helo! Put it on someone else!”) It’s enough to make me question my faith in Joss Whedon.

By Sonia Aurora – I’ve been out of the loop for Dollhouse since the end of last season. I haven’t bought Season 1 on DVD yet (because I generally wait to put TV shows on my Christmas or birthday list, depending on which is closest). But I’ve been looking forward to it, cautiously, hoping that it would begin on the higher notes of the greater episodes rather than the filler episodes between the greats. And, without having “Epitaph One” to guide me as to whether or not this season will be great, I dove in.

By Jenn Kim – Ahh, Dollhouse. How you enjoy toying with our fragile emotions. I had so many conflicting feelings while watching your first few episodes (you’re created by JOSS FRICKIN’ WHEDON!! But I’m confused by this plot!! Faith was like, my favorite character on Buffy! But why do I find Echo so unconvincing??? I’m glad there’s an Asian-looking female main character!! But what’s up with all these sexual engagements?? OMG, Fred’s a doctor, and she has a face-scar!! But why is Helo so surly?? EXCLAMATION POINTS and QUESTION MARKS!!!??!).

By Teresa Jusino- I am a huge fan of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, and I’m also a huge fan of both the actress Miracle Laurie, and of her character, November. Season One has already shown us that she was one of the more intriguing “actives”, both in what she was assigned to do, and what brought her to the Dollhouse in the first place. I follow Miracle on Twitter, and not only is she a talented actress, but she seems like a genuinely nice, fun person.

By Sabrina Boyer – If I were going to list my top five Buffy episodes, Hush would definitely be in the list. Of course, this list fluctuates depending on time of year, what’s going on in my life at the time, and a horde of other factors; however, Hush will, I can safely say, always be in that list, somewhere. A seminal episode and nominated for an Emmy (which it didn’t win but should have; it was robbed. It’s clear the Emmys don’t recognize sci-fi/fantasy shows as serious or warrants merit, but that’s another issue. The fact that it was nominated speaks highly of the sheer genius of this episode).
