Five Genre Fiction Gateway Drugs Other Than Battlestar Galactica (Which is Still Awesome)
With the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series concluded, we've run out of socially-acceptable sci-fi to gush over. That should make you think, shouldn't it? Wouldn't life be more fun if we could step outside of the all-encompassing irony and self-awareness of modern living and allow ourselves a little bit of childlike wonder at the power of the imagination?... read more

If vampires are even a fraction as common in real life as pop culture makes them out to be, we should probably all consider investing in some garlic and a stake. There's the Twilight franchise, of course, but also fare such as HBO's True Blood and the recently-announced CW drama, The Vampire Diaries. But in the media cyclone surrounding Edward and Co., have we all forgotten the early vampire television staple, Buffy the Vampire Slayer?... read more

Remember when we reported that Joss Whedon and Neil Patrick Harris were working on a musical and it sounded like nonsense we'd made up? Well, that part where it sounds like the fevered dreams of the Internet, that still hasn't changed.

Found in: Culture, NewsJoss Whedon and Neil Patrick Harris working on musical
As far as unintended consequences of the WGA strike go, this one has got to be one of the more surprising. While telling AICN about the possibilities of his own Harold and Kumar spin-off (Incidentally, is it Doogie Week on PasteMagazine.com, or what?), Neil Patrick Harris mentioned that he was working on, "a web short film that Joss Whedon is directing and wrote called Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog."

Since Firefly was canceled back in 2002, Joss Whedon's busied himself with a film, comics and scriptwriting, but we all knew he'd head back to television eventually.

"He's my favorite genius," Dushku said... read more

The last we saw of Angel, he and his crew were about to return to the fight against demon hordes and then... nothing. One of the most infamous cliffhangers in television was left unresolved as the series was canceled and its creator, Joss Whedon, refused to elaborate upon what the future would hold for the Los Angeles side of the Buffyverse. All that will be answered now, though, with the series continuing in "season 6" in the form of a comic book, Angel: After the Fall. The story will be overseen by Whedon in a 12-issue miniseries with the first... read more
