Dollhouse FINALLY Lands, Welcome Back to the Whedonverse
by Josh Roth @ 4:49 pm February 15th, 2009
“Grrr, Arrgh.” Seeing those immortal grunts return to the TV almost brought tears to my eyes. Joss Whedon’s shows are always leaps and bounds above everything else on television, but I’ll be honest, Dollhouse gets off to a bit of a rocky start. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s never, ever, ever underestimate Joss Whedon. That man will surprise you to no end, and at every single turn. He inspires creativity and all around genius form everyone around him, and we’re all better off for it. Buffy and Angel took a whole season each to really get rolling, but I’ve got a feeling Dollhouse will get us invested much quicker.

Fringe Comes Back from Break with Killer Monster Scientists
by Josh Roth @ 6:10 pm February 5th, 2009
J.J. Abrams’ procedural science fiction drama has come back from its mid-season break with a vengeance. “The Transformation” was co-penned by Zack Whedon (yep, that Zack Whedon, brother of the all mighty Joss Whedon, of Dr. Horrible fame) and J.R. Orci. Fringe seems to have taken a bit of a break from their season long story arcs in favor of more serialized episodes. But this week sees the return of the John Scott / Nina Sharp / Massive Dynamic storyline, and with some interesting developments. Fringe may not be the most intelligent or complex show on TV, but it sure is loads of sci-fi fun.
