Do you know if the facility was in Dunkirk? If so, I know the family that owned it back then!

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
it wasn't- it was near Avon, NY. So that means there were at least two of them!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I'm a guest liaison for hawaiicon this year, and Nick, Emma, Charisma, and Amber are here (I'm not gl for them. I've got one of the Star Wars people.). I've been busy, but I did get to go to the main stage Buffy panel, which was cool. I keep bouncing back and forth between wondering how much Kai's letter is inflecting some stuff, though no one is talking about it (like, damn, that one girl's "Joss Whedon is why I have trust issues" shirt reads different) and how much people here are just oblivious, as there's a lot of 100-level content, which is appropriate for most of the rooms

I'm still giving Joss the stink-eye, but I probably will give it a try. (Not that I have HBO.)
HBO has given a series order to "The Nevers," a science-fiction drama from Joss Whedon. The series is described as a sci-fi epic about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
That sounds right up my alley, EXCEPT that I have never liked any of Joss' sci-fi projects.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I will probably give it a watch, but with a bit of a jaundiced eye.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
While I've been side-eye-ing him a fair bit lately, I do like Joss's flair for dialogue. I'll give it a shot, if and when it escapes HBO.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Yeah, I don't get HBO, so I won't have to decide for a while. I do still like his ability to write clear distinct characters while getting a story underway -- the pilot for Firefly (both of them) was so good at showing you who these people were and what they wanted, in comparison to so many other pilots I've seen. I miss that in an adventure show with women.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I know Joss has garnered a measurable amount of uncool and dislike, however, not only do I still love Firely, but I also really loved a strong season and a half of Dollhouse. So I'm a fan of his science fiction.
Just as I know John Irving likes Bears and Vienna, I know Joss loves his barefoot waifs and a sex-bot or two and will look askance at his pet tropes.
I am familiar with his oeuvre. (As are we all!)
But I do value his way around a quip, and his ability to imagine a 'verse and plumb it for metaphorical possibilities. And his characters are strong and vivid.
So I will check it out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I plan to check it out, it sounds right up my alley. I hope Joss can keep his pet tropes in the kennel, though. Victorian women did not go about barefoot, sorry Joss.
Oh, who am I kidding. I'm going to watch it and drink every time a Joss trope happens.
