David Bianculli did an interesting interview with Joss Whedon last week for Fresh Air. (If other people have linked to this already re: Dollhouse, I skipped your comments because I hadn't watched the show yet, sorry!) He has some interesting things to say about the implications of the premise of Dollhouse versus its intended arc, and the ( Read more... )

The Buffy Season 8 comics started coming out in March 2007 and I never read them, so I had well over a year's worth of comics to catch up on.
