Dollhouse pretty good lately. Still kind of stupid.

Fringe is great. Hope the ratings don't continue to erode.

I would be up for a Firefly/BSG crossover, or frankly, a Firefly/Anything crossover.

I would find it highly amusing to hear about atheist Joss Whedon and "God did it" RDM fighting over plot lines.

Also, Joss would probably want a plot line that you know, made sense, whereas RDM would be happy with something "gritty" with pigeons "of deep significance". Or something.

Kings has been pulled, but NBC is supposed to broadcast the remaining episodes beginning in June.

Two rumors were circulating earlier this week regarding Chuck. One - it was cancelled; the other, it is renewed. Apparently, The CW has lost interest, if it is cancelled.

Time-Warmer just acquired NBC Universal, so that may or may not have any impact.

youtube.com has also added some full movies and full episodes.

LOL Thank you!

FYI:

(Interview with “Mojo,” a Visual Effects Supervisor and artist who has worked on projects such as Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Voyager, and Babylon 5)

Given that Babylon 5 was a completely new series, where was the inspiration taken from for the various ship models?

Ron Thornton and Steve Burg did most of the design work and they both have excellent asthetics. A lot of designs were inspired by nature, such as spiders (the Shadow ship), angelfish (the Minbari cruiser) and a bulb of garlic (the Vorlon ship)! Especially for an organic design, I think it works best to start with a basis that people will find subconsciously familiar. Besides, trying to design totally from scratch is a pain in the ass.

It seems this has been going back and forth on the Internet. I had heard the same thing, and then went ballistic 2 weeks ago, when they preempted Dollhouse with Prison Break! But it turned out that it was scheduled.

The big 2 questions are, a) Will they actually show all 13 episodes, or just 12, and force us to buy the DVD set to see #13; and b) Will Dollhouse be picked up for a second season?

Joss has stated that the main story lines will be tied up by the end of the season, but who really knows, and will Fox actually air all of the episodes? Will Fox pick it up for a second season? But at this time it seems that we'll see at least 12 of the episodes.

On an unrelated note, I learned this week that there are two novels for “The 4400” coming out this year that will finish out the series. From what I gather these are canonical...

http://www.amazon.com/4400-Welcome-Promise-City/dp/1416543228/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240890100&sr=1-3

http://www.amazon.com/4400-Promises-Broken-David-Mack/dp/1416543236/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240890100&sr=1-4

I’m still not happy about the series getting canceled but it will be good to get an ending. There are more than a few unresolved issues from the series.
