Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, Whedon-less edition
A lot of word has been going around the net about how there’s going to be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, without Joss Whedon. My reaction? I think I’ve already lamented enough about the current Hollywood trend of endless reboots, but this in particular seems a particularly silly thing to reboot–after all, the original…

I somehow managed to miss this when it originally happened back in July, and only just now found out about it today because of listening to the new podcast being done by the fine folks at CastleTV.net. This here is a video of a panel at San Diego Comic Con wherein Nathan Fillion and Stana…

Lost finale reaction post
Our Tivo failed in its final attempt to stab at us from Hell’s heart, despite its best efforts on Sunday evening; purchased what we missed off of iTunes, and we were therefore able to watch the Lost finale last night!
