Joss Whedon's (often painfully erratic but potentially AWESOME)'Dollhouse' has been put back in the box. It's said that fellow Fox sci-fi show 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' was cancelled to make room for the doomed 'Buffy' scribe's high concept meditation on um... (human trafficking? ethics in technology and science? eliza dushku's vast array of facial expressions?) whatever?

This SERIOUSLY sucks for actress Summer Glau (Firefly, the Firefly movie known as 'Serenity'), who starred in T:SCC, and was recently announced to be joining the cast of Dollhouse as well. Also unhappy: heterosexual geekboy virgins, who will surely refer to 2009 as the "Year Without a Summer," or "That time that Fox gave me blueballs for 7 consecutive months."

Joss was not at the top of his game with this show (blame fox if you want, but he just didn't BRING IT as much as he normally does), but i am choosing to focus on the forthcoming Whedon-helmed horror film "Cabin in the Woods," which is boasting the following marketing campaign. It's nice to see that JW still has a sense of humor- the absence of which is why almost anybody that watches all his shit likes 'Buffy' the best.
