I miss Buffy. I miss Mal Reynolds. I really miss Kaylee. Most of all I miss Joss Whedon's sparkling entertainment. So go watch Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog, now!
Evolving Thoughts
One man's struggle against impermanence

Profile
John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and a position as a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Queensland, in Australia. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.
This blog is designed evolved to host any random thoughts that happen to be passing through my forebrain at a given moment. So there will be errors...

See http://liedra.livejournal.com/62096.html for my whinge about the Dr Horrible web site (NOT about Joss Whedon, who is one step up from God).

Joss is pretty good, but let's not forget that he wrote Alien: Resurrection...

I can't wait now for episode three. This would make a good high school musical.

What is one step up from non-existent?

What is one step up from non-existent?
A Hollywood script writer.

Who knows, maybe Firefly will get a second chance when this interweb entertainment revolution takes off. Hell, I heard there is a push to revive Farscape that way, and that show had definitely reached the end of its shelf life.
At the very least, Whedon should pitch "The Life and Opinions of Jayne Cobb, Gentleman" as a spin-off.

The website says the episodes are free but i keep getting re-directed to iTunes where you have to pay. Anyone else having this problem?

When I sent the link to my brother on Wednesday, I did say the Joss Whedon is God.
Cameron, I did not have that problem. Did you click on the iTunes box?

Heh - I'll be working at Dragon*Con this year. Guess which cast will be doing a 'live' version of the show, around midnight on one of the nights? :D
