Yes? No?! Maybe?!?

As Dollhouse winds down, talk of Joss Whedon's next project seems to be settling on series of motion-comic webisodes based on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 series of comics. I have been following this comic series, though delayed as I insist on reading the collections in graphic novel form, and I really do enjoy the series. I usually finish a book in two or three days and I am always left wanting more. While some of the stories don't have the impact I'd like, the overarching arch is fairly classic Buffy-verse material that successfully captures the characters we've grown to love and hate from the TV series.

The real question, though, is whether I'd even be interested in seeing this comic series turned into a series of webisodes. I think that gets a big "Eh." I'd watch it, of course, probably even eagerly, but I'm not convinced I really need this series. The comics are quite satisfying and I'm not sure a web series would bring anything new that would make it superior to the comics.

Of course, we have no idea what will happen with this project or whether it's even real. I think for now I'll just forget all about this and be happily surprised if it ever does end up being "broadcast" on the web.

It looks like Dollhouse is becoming a who's-who of BSG and Whedonites. So Dollhouse already features Eliza Dushku and Felicia Day from Buffy, Amy Acker from Angel, Alan Tudyk from Firefly, and Tahmoh Penikett from BSG. Now they'll be adding Summer Glau from Firefly, Michael Hogan (Saul Tigh) from BSG, and Alexis Denisof from Buffy and Angel.

This certainly isn't a bad thing, it's just constantly funny to me how actors turn up together in the same shows all time.

I saw on io9 that Sarah Michelle Gellar is ready to do a new Buffy project.

Of course, Joss would have to be attached to it for me to even consider it a true Buffy project, but were that to happen, then hells yeah!

/me is not getting his hopes up.
