News: Connor Chronicles Renewal Confirmed

Attention Sarah Connor Chronicles Fans - Your wishes have been granted with The Sarah Connor Chronicles being renewed for a second season. It may have been a close call based on the length of time spent on the decision...

I had mixed feelings about the first season. But it has been confirmed by Fox that the Connors will continue their fight against SkyNet and return to our small screens in the fall of next year.

ANZAC Day - Lest We Forget

They shall grow not old
As we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them

News: Dollhouse starts shooting today!

Joss Whedon is again going to grace our screens with his latest endeavour entitled "Dollhouse" which begins shooting today.

Eliza Dushku (Buffy [Faith], Tru Calling [Tru] is playing the lead role as Echo.
"Each is a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls" who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware."
As a huge Whedon fan I look forward to watching the series later this year!
