We all know that Joss Whedon did an incredible job with Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Musical. We were skeptical, we thought it would be a flop, but it turned out to be pure genius.
So, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised or concerned to hear that the keymaster of the Dollhouse will be sliding over one spot to direct an upcoming episode of Glee.
Michael Ausiello broke the news on his EW blog, so you can head over there for more details but really, what more do you need to know other than it’s going to be the best episode …read more

Twentieth Century Fox has announced their line-up of panels for the San Diego Comic Con. It’s an interesting mix of scifi and non-genre shows, though even some of those shows have scifi favorites in the mix, so it’s all good.

Coming off its most critically acclaimed season in years, 24 stars Kiefer Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub and new cast members Anil Kapoor, Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Katee Sackhoff join showrunnner Howard Gordon and the producers of the Emmy-winning series for a special sneak peek at the heart-stopping premiere episode of Season 8.

As Smallville is to the Superman legend, Merlin is to the majestic tale of King Arthur — it’s the story of a boy just learning to use his powers and those that would oppose him. It’s mystical. It’s magical. It’s a UK series that has found its way on the American TV. But is it worth watching. . . .?
If you’re interested in reviews from TV critics, then Merlin is fair to middling. Fan girls, however,  have found enjoyment in the Arthur / Merlin bromance but purists may find the story strays too far from the classic.
Having said all that, …read more

Yesterday, the Hollywood Reporter broke a story about a potential Buffy the Vampire Slayer relaunch that wouldn’t include Joss Whedon in the mix. Basically, the original rights holders, Fran Rubel and husband Kaz Kuzui were approached by Vertigo Entertainment (The Grudge) with the idea of producing a new feature film based on the franchise. The article states that the producers hadn’t ruled out Whedon’s involvement but they have not yet “reached out to him.”
As you can imagine, the fans went wild. Buffy without Joss? Sacrilege! I say, baloney. I fully admit that Joss Whedon was 100 % responsible for the …read more

One of the most overlooked but important aspects of our favorite shows is the music that leads into them. Total Scifi Online took a poll asking its readers what their favorite themes were and the otherworldly opening song from Doctor Who emerged as the winner.
Other popular tunes include The X-Files and Star Trek. The complete Top 10 list is after the jump:

Joss: I don’t get twitter, I think it might be dirty.
Jed: You’re going to twitter tonight.
Joss: Buy me a drink first.
Let’s hear it for the Whedon Brothers! They’re here every night and don’t forget to tip your waitress.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer and How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan and husband Alexis Denisof (one of the stars of Angel) have a healthy baby daughter. The couple met during the 1999-2000 season of Buffy and this is their first child.
People reports that little Satyana Denisof was born March 24 and how wild is this, that’s Hannigan’s birthday too. Hannigan told people her strange pregnancy craving was ginger ale. She said she also felt a little absent minded during the process. Hannigan told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres she felt like a stoned Koala bear. There’s an …read more
