Firstly, three roles from Joss' new show Dollhouse have been cast. While I had kind of been hoping for Ben Browder to be cast in the Paul Smith role (as brilliantly suggested in this post - spoilery for characters) I can't say I'm displeased with who they did choose.

In less awesome Joss news, this radical (and I mean RADICAL) feminist take on Firefly has been mentioned all over the blogosphere. Quite frankly, it's disturbing.

What the fuck is this feminist man trying to say about women here? A black woman calling a white man ‘sir’. A white male captain who abuses and silences his female crew, with no consequences. The women are HAPPY to be abused. They enjoy it. What does this say about women, Joss? What does this say about you? Do you tell your wife to shut up? Do you threaten to duct tape her mouth? Lock her in the bedroom? Is this funny to you, Joss? Because it sure as fuck ain’t funny to me.


While the author makes one or two valid points about Inara, the rest of the essay boggled my brain. In particular, the author's opinions on Joss himself and his wife are shocking.

Make sure you read the comments too.

I've been pondering the leaked pilots and here are my thoughts. A bit spoilery but not beyond the basic premises of the shows.
