Bully was a rather refreshing and good game I enjoyed so a sequel is welcome.

I'd already read that theor on the LHC a few weeks back. While interesting I think they are just theorising for a laugh. I'd be worried if they actually seriously think that.

No surprise about Dollhouse. I wished Fox gave Firefly the stretch they gave Dollhouse.

I am right there with you on that. I did like the nod Fillion and the writing crew on Castle did on the Halloween episode to acknowledge Firefly/Serenity.

This a great day.

Yeppers. Maybe this should be in the "happy thread"

I think I want a Bully 2 before another GTA game.

I do as well. I like GTA, but Bully well it just captured the little kid angst so well and was foolishly dangerous but not so hard edged. I adored it, and the music, the thrum thrum thrum walking music, so much.

Dollhouse was a great idea that's been decent for most of its run with spurts of greatness. I'm sure that if it had been allowed a full run it would have turned into something special. Buffy's first season is really spotty, as is Angel's. Firefly's 13 eps are great, but we'll never know if its quality would have dipped over more time.

Whedon really and truly needs to be on cable. While Syfy is the obvious choice, I'd love to see what he'd do with an HBO show.

My understanding of why Dollhouse was on Fox was because a) the people who canned Firefly out from under him were gone, and 2) Dushku has an exclusive contract with Fox and he built the show around her.

Edit: It's not like Dollhouse was all setup. The first season paid off the Alpha storyline rather well, and I'd say about a quarter of the episodes were great, a quarter good, and half decent. It's not up to the level of awesome the Firefly attained, but that was a pretty uncommonly high level of awesome for the first half of the first season of a show. I can't think of any other show that came out that strong right out of the gate. What I always think of are Trek series, which seem to take a full season or so before they really find their footing.

Sadly, Dushku is the weakest part of Dollhouse. The supporting cast is fantastic and whenever the spotlight is off of her and onto them, the show sizzles. Sigh.
