News for Dawn Joss Whedon fans: his new series starts this fall on Fox! Starring Eliza Dushku. It’s called Dollhouse and here’s a description:
The drama, stars Dushku as Echo, a member of a group of men and women who are imprinted with different personalities for different assignments. In between tasks they are mind-wiped, living like children in Dollhouse, a futuristic dorm/lab. A group of people, known as "Actives" (or "Dolls"), have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas and hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies and occasional good deeds. When not imprinted, the Actives live, childlike and unremembering, in a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". Although the Actives are ostensibly volunteers, the operation is highly illegal, and under constant threat from a determined federal agent on one end and an insane rogue Active on the other. The story hinges around a greater and more subtle threat: Echo, a female Active, begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.
Sounds very complicated. But good! It will be so nice to have Whedon back on TV. Also for Dawn BSG fans: one of the main characters is played by Helo from Battlestar. Yep, I like him.

I heard that Joss had a new show in the works. It does sound complicated but very interesting. Plus looking a Helio every week will be good for me!
But wait there's more! I just read today that NBC is getting a BBC-produced series about Merlin starring Anthony Stewart Head! He doesn't play Merlin or Arthur, unfortunately, but some other character.
I just read that Olivia Williams might play in Dollhouse! http://www.televisionaryblog.com/2008/04/casting-couch-legal-damages-williams-to.html
Maybe we can get Allison to watch with us.
I will watch anything that Olivia Williams is in.
Me too. I was blown away by her in "Miss Austen Regrets"!
