Firefly's Alan Tudyk coming back to TV
Filed under: Firefly, Casting  Let me start this out with a big WAHOO! Alan Tudyk, who played the endearing character of 'Wash' on Firefly, may be returning to television as early as this fall.
He has been cast in a starring role for an ABC comedy that, as of yet, does not have a title. The show is being created by Max Mutchick and David Kohan, the creative team behind long-running sitcom Will & Grace. Their new show (which we've mentioned in the past) is about two writers, one gay and one straight, who are in business together. Tudyk will play the gay writer, named Charlie...

Firefly may get special edition box set
Filed under: TV on DVD, Celebrities, Firefly, Reality-Free  Jewel Staite revealed some information that may have all you Browncoats making room on your shelf for another box set of Joss Whedon's brilliant-but-canceled Firefly. Staite, you all remember, played sweet Kaylee on that short-lived series.
At a convention in Australia two weeks ago, Staite mentioned that she may be headed to Los Angeles to do some commentary for a special box set of Firefly. Here's what she said:
"I just heard that they're re-releasing Firefly, a special edition of Firefly in a box set. They actually asked me if I was able to...

TV in comics update: Buffy, Angel, The Stranded and Serenity
Filed under: Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Early Looks  It's been a while since my last review of a Buffy season eight comic, and since then there's been other developments in the TV-on-comics front (we should have a category for that). Rather than dedicate separate posts to this news, I'll round everything up here, at least this time around.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - season eight - Issues #10 & #11
These were stand-alone "episodes," unlike 'The Long Way Home' and 'No Future for You'. A few things are revealed here that help...

Hey sci-fi fans, do you have an extra $900?
Filed under: Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows, TV on DVD, Stargate, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel  So let's say you had an extra $900 lying around and you really loved science fiction shows. What DVDs would you buy?
Amazon is making your decision a little bit easier for you. They have a special bundle for sale, nine different FOX/MGM shows at 49% off. OK, it's still a little pricey at $900 (you could probably put that money toward your rent), but look at what you get: the Buffy, The Vampire Slayer Collector's Set, The Angel Collector's Set, The X-Files Ultimate Collection, all ten...

Comic-Con: Joss Whedon panel report
Filed under: Industry, Celebrities, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel 
Who's the King of Comic-Con? Kevin Smith or Joss Whedon? Kevin may have pulled ahead with this afternoon's Heroes announcement, but Joss' fans come bearing gifts. Seriously. At least half the people asking questions had gifts to lay at the master's feet. Fortunately for us, Joss came equipped with a gift or two himself.
If you don't want one Buffy Season 8 spoiler, don't follow the jump.Continue reading Comic-Con: Joss Whedon panel report Spoilers Anonymous, Stargate, Celebrities, Firefly  Even though the Season 3 finale of the Sci Fi hit show Stargate Atlantis airs only in two weeks, cast and crew are already preparing Season 4. Writers have almost half the season written up, episodes are getting shot, and casting directors are working around the clock to find guest stars for the new season. Actually, the latter even found a new show regular in the person of Firefly's Jewel Staite.
Spoilers about Staite's character and Season 4 after the jump.Continue reading Stargate Altantis' season 4 catches a Firefly Watercooler Talk, Firefly  Would you go on a cruise with a bunch of Firefly fans? If so, I'd say you've entered into uber-geekdom. And that's okay, because the series really did rock.
The Browncoats, or die-hard fans of Firefly who were instrumental in getting Serenity made, are planning a cruise for this December. It's a five-day excursion from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas to Ensenada, Mexico. Prices range from $570 to $1,000 for the nicer rooms. Not a bad price, really, if you're looking to escape the 'verse for a spell.
The Browncoats, crafty as they be, have lined up Shepherd Book (Ron Glass) and...

Joss Whedon dropped from Wonder Woman movie
Filed under: News, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel  If you've been waiting to see how the guy who made the transformation of a former cheerleader named Buffy into an action hero seem credible was going to bring a superhero with a lasso and invisible airplane to the big screen, you're out of luck.
In a post to Whedonesque, Joss Whedon says he's no longer associated with the Wonder Woman movie. Apparently Whedon didn't share the studio's vision for the big-screen adaptation. He says the studio could have ordered a series of rewrites until his ideas were completely lost. But rather than have that happen,...

Firefly's lost tapes of River Tam - VIDEO
Filed under: Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows, Short-Lived Shows, Retro Squad, Firefly  Ever wonder what happened to River during all that time she was locked up in Alliance hands? Well, now you can see what happened if you watch the lost tapes from her "sessions." This almost amounts to torture for Firefly fans, because while we get some tantalizing background hints about River, it just makes Browncoats (like me) wish that this series would return.
Can't someone pony up the cash and get this great show back on the air, make a direct to DVD movie, or even a video podcast? I'd even...

Nathan Fillion reunites with Tim Minear for Drive
Filed under: Other Drama Shows, FOX, Industry, Firefly  Sorry, folks. Small, fan-girl breakdown approaching. Oh, hell yes! Nathan Fillion (aka Capt. Mal Reynolds) has been reunited with Firefly scribe Tim Minear to star in Fox's mid-season replacement Drive. Fillion will play Alex Tully, a "charming, rogue landscaper" who is coerced into joining a cross-country race in order to search for his abducted wife. (Alright, if that character description came from anyone other than Minear, I might be more skeptical.) In the original version of the pilot, the role was played by Ivan Sergei.
While he had initially been approached for the role, Fillion had...
