Since I’m such a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and all other stuff Joss Whedon, I often read the novels that others write based on the characters from those shows. I read the graphic novels as well, but this isn’t about those, which are generally written by Joss himself.
The novels I’m talking about are written by other authors who will remain nameless, only cause I can’t remember their names. That’s not exactly true, I remember some of their names, but I’m not sharing. That’s mostly cause I’m gonna say some not nice stuff and I don’t want to actually direct it towards any innocent people. If you really want to know who they are, go look them up.

I recently watched through all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, again, and I wrote a little bit about it in my watchingcw.com blog, which you can go read, if you’re interested. I occasionally blog about Buffy-related stuff in my CW blog, cause Buffy was on the WB and UPN, which eventually merged (although, after BtVSwas off the air) into the CW. I know it’s a stretch, but I have to write about something over there, don’t I?
In any case, one of the extras on the last Season 7 DVD is Joss Whedon’s top ten favorite Buffy eps. It got me to thinking, cause I never can decide which are my absolute faves. It’s so hard to narrow it down. But if Joss can do it, I should be able to, right?
Anyway, here’s Joss’s list:
10. Prophecy Girl - S1, E12
9. Conversations with Dead People - S7, E7
8. Restless - S4, E22
7. Becoming, Part 2 - S2, E22
6. The Wish - S3, E9
5. Dopplegangland - S3, E16
4. The Body - S5, E16
3. Hush - S4, E10
2. Once More With Feeling - S6, E7
1. Innocence - S2, E 14
I was a little surprised by some of his choices, but others were more obvious. I’m almost certain that “Once More With Feeling” would end up at number 2 on my list, as well. I’ll give it some thought, and get back to you about my faves.
Look what I just found! Here’s a link to the official site for Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. What, you might ask, is that? Well, I’m not exactly positive. I know this much, Joss Whedon and his brothers, Jed and Zack are involved, as is Nathan Fillion (Mal Reynolds on Firefly, and Caleb on Buffy), Neil Patrick Harris and Felicia Day (Vi on Buffy). All three actors and the writers are participating in a panel at Comic-Con in San Diego.

You might think that it would be difficult to create a relevant blog about TV shows that have been off the air for several years, but not so. I have lots of stuff I can ramble on about, endlessly, if necessary. But instead of going back and talking about stuff long past today, I want to talk a little bit about Joss Whedon’s new show, Dollhouse, which is coming to Fox in January, 2009, and will air on Monday nights at 8 pm, leading into 24. I plan to keep talking about it, too, so that more people find out about it and watch it.
I admit that I’m a little worried. Not about the show, cause that will rock, but about Fox. I just can’t bear for Fox to kill off another show once I fall in love. They’ve murdered so many shows that I liked. Firefly, for one, Drive (a Tim Minear production, which starred Firefly’s Nathan Fillion) was another. The list is pretty long. Since Fox has a habit of putting shows in the Friday night spot of death or just not giving them a chance to get an audience (Drive was cut after only 4 episodes aired - it was literally the second week), I want to make sure that Dollhouse has amazing ratings from Day One. No matter what night it airs.

Wow, this is it. My first blog at FanaticSpace. I’m very excited, cause for the first time I’m able to blog about something I really, really love, the Whedonverse. For any of the uninitiated out there, the Whedonverse is all of the wonderful entertainment created by the incomparable Joss Whedon, which includes tv shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly, the movie Serenity, based on the Firefly series, and various graphic novels, such as Fray, Buffy Season 8, and Angel After the Fall. He also writes the Astonishing X-Men, and he’s written screenplays for other movies outside of Buffydom, which I may reference from time to time. He was also a writer for Roseanne, but I probably won’t ever bring that up again.
