One thing you can say about Joss Whedon shows is that they inspire a lot of music. This is especially true of Firefly and Serenity. The Big Damn Heroes have been immortalized in song by several musicians, from the Bedlam Bards to Marian Call. The latest group to add to the Browncoats Hit Parade is a band out of St. Louis called The Browncoats. Three of its members, and a crew member, visited the Serenity Salute recently in Los Angeles.

I’m very proud that, although it took two years for the folks at BBCAmerica to implement what I told them during the Comic Con 2007/Torchwood Panel ("If we all have the same "friend" in England, and we have the technology in our homes to see the episode the day after it screens in England, don’t *you* have the technology to do the same?")  BBCAmerica has taken my advice and will be screening Dr Who: The End of Time one (yes, just one!) day after it airs in England.

Fans of Dollhouse have been counting the days until the show returns on December 4th. They’ve been looking forward to the arrival of Summer Glau, and the latest developments about a Senator’s investigation into the existence of Dollhouses…featuring an unlikely witness.

On this Veteran’s Day, that anticipation turned to sadness when Fox announced it was cancelling the show after the 13th episode in January 2010
