shes not a particularly good actress, I think thats why she got stuck with tomboyishly tough chick tv roles.

( IMHO Jenny Calendar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robia_LaMorte) was the coolest Whedon chick ever,although Kaylee kind of rocked too. I dont know why I am discussing Whedon's leading women with you lol)
I'm more fond of the Whedon men than women (for example Topher and Victor in Dollhouse). Though Sierra is a pretty awesome character in the show too.

As for: I do hope Whedon hasnt lost it for real, hes doing Avengers and I want that to be good!
Also, he's currently working on Much Ado About Nothing. With original songs! And a very Whedon heavy cast. I am foreseeing Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog kind of awesomeness.

Ooh, this is a convoluted plot, and thats probably why it got cancelled, and it appears to be a mismash of styles that dont fit well, not very Josh Whedon, but I'll give it time, particularly since Eliza Dushku is in it lol.

Watched a particularly fine X files episode, where Mulder goes to the Bermuda triangle. Its tongue in cheek, and many of the best Xfiles episodes are. Fine viewing!

Next... Warehouse 13! The next X files clone..
The best episodes of Dollhouse are the S1 and S2 finales that together form 1 separate (amazing) story that explains "it" all.
So there is a wrap up episode to this? I stayed clear from it because if I can help it, I dont want to watch anything that gets cancelled pre-maturely with no resolution. But Dollhouse always sounded good especially that it is a Whedon series but Whedon hasnt really had much luck with resolution to his series (Buffy included).
They knew of the cancellation well beforehand so they were able to write a conclusive ending to the Epitaph storyline which is the final episode, called Epitaph Two: Return. Though this does mean that some of the other storylines were never finished (it's set in two different times and one of them is properly concludes while the other isn't really - though in the end it doesn't matter anyway)

Hear hear. I remember I originally hated him on Buffy and vowed to never watch him in anything ever again, but I'm glad I did because I love Firefly, Castle and Dr Horrible!

Spoilers? LOL The show finished like 10 years ago, how have you not found time to watch it yet if you're so interested in it? :P

Nathan Fillion as Indy? Never thought of it, but could be cool!

I know! I used to dislike Buffy, I thought it was cool to hate it. I was a deluded little man back then (I am still little, but not deluded).

But its not an easy show to watch for free. I think Sky b*ght it out so that its never been on terestrial tv since its initial tv beginnings. But now my mum has Sky so I am going to see it all. :mrgreen:

I watch anything even if theres isnt a wrapup lol. And then I lie awake in bed for hours trying to make up suitable endings for the show in my head. :undecided:

And sometimes when an entirely new and different show starts with the same actor from the cancelled show in it I pretend hes the same character lol I am odd like that, Glassy.

Next time you do this, please think of a suitable ending of FlashForward for me! The final episode finally showed what a potential the show had, but left it on an open ending :tears:
