My inner fangirl says what?

November 1st, 2007 · 4 Comments

She says: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (For those who don’t know, that’s the sound of ultimate excitement.)

First, I read that Joss Whedon (he of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly/Serenity fame) is bringing his Jossy goodness back to television sometime this spring (hopefully) with a new show called, Dollhouse, starring Elisha Dushku (formerly ‘Faith’ from Buffy & Angel).
My only reservation: its going to be on FOX.

Secondly, I read that the X-Files 2 movie now has a release date of July 25, 2008! This summer!
My only reservation: the studio made this comment about the plotline:

the pic is a stand-alone story and supernatural thriller that takes the complicated relationship between Mulder and Scully in new directions.

Please skip all the requited/unrequited love/weird child storyline. Please. Go back in time if you have to. (And while you’re back there, bring the Lone Gunmen back with you.)

    Not on FOX!!! We’ll get episode 3 first, and then ep 1 followed by 5 and arg!

    I still think that the Sci-Fi channel should throw Joss a bucket of money to bring Firefly over there. Shoot, it could be set in the gap between the show and the movie so we keep Wash, then have a season gap where the movie takes place and is broadcase on SciFi, and the next seasons takes place after.

    If the X-Files movie takes place AFTER the season finale, I’m just not sure how they are going to give good explanation and move the characters into a place where they WOULD investigate a non-mythology mystery. They’d be out of the FBI, right?

    I’m in complete agreement with Joe. I can’t believe Joss will still work with Fox. I just don’t understand how these things happen.

    Yes, the FOX thing wigs me out still. But I think this mostly came out of the fact that Elisha had a development deal of her own already with FOX and then Joss went and was all brilliant and came up with something for her.

    The comment from one of the articles wondering the same thing was this:

    Great chemistry and intriguing premise notwithstanding, you’d think that after Fox snuffed Whedon’s Firefly and hung up on Dushku’s Tru Calling, one or both of them would have been more than a little hesitant to get back into bed with the network. “Honestly? Walking back into that building was pretty damn strange,” Whedon admits. But “I always had a good relationship with [20th Century Fox], and on the network end, it’s a completely new bunch of people, and from what I’ve seen, a fairly impressive bunch.”

    Dushku seconds that emotion. “I really get the sense that they’re committed to [this show]… It feels right.”

    I don’t -want- to be pessimistic, I just wish that almost any other network was on board.
