If you head on over to Amazon they have a ten minute ‘phone interview with Joss as part of the promotion for the release of the new Collectors Edition of Serenity due out later this month, it’s well worth a listen.
Joss reveals some more information as to what we can look forward to in this version, it seems that the additional commentary is actually going to be screen-in-screen rather than just audio, so we will get to see some of our Big Damn Heroes again!
It is provided as a download .wma file so make sure you have a suitable player installed.

According to TV Squad and their report from San Diego’s ComicCon, Joss has reported that negotiations are almost complete with the BBC to make a 90 minute special of the long-awaited “Ripper”, starring my favourite watcher, Anthony Stewart Head.
There is plenty of other Joss news reported, but this was the one that got my attention. Also check out the Whedon ballet starring Summer Glau. 😉

Joss “The Boss” Whedon has taken some time out to answer fan questions over at the MySpace comic book site. It’s only a few minutes long but as usual with Joss Whedon it is well worth a look, though he is still dodging the “Goners” questions Gorram it!
According to their site:
We took YOUR questions from MySpace Comic Books and brought them to Joss Whedon. Check out his thoughts on love, Astonishing X-Men, and his next project. Joss is auctioning off dinner with him during San Diego Comic Con to benefit Equality Now. For more information, visit: http://www.myspace.com/equality_now

Jo Chen’s cover art for Issue 6 of Joss Whedon’s ‘Buffy Season 8’ is now online at Comic Art Community, and Faith has never looked better!
This is a Brian Vaughn issue, the first one of this series not to be written by Joss himself, so it will be interesting to see what Vaughn does with this.

It seems impossible to think that just 10 years ago a TV series had no purpose other than to tell you a story each week. Character arcs were just about unheard of, other than in soaps, as the ‘story’ was all.
Some tried to mix things up a little, Star Trek: DS9 being one of my favourites of its time, but it was not until Joss Whedon came along that the way TV was made really began to change, until we reach the point today where it is almost impossible to find a show that doesn’t to some degree try to give their characters an arc of some kind.
Gone are the days of Columbo and The Rockford Files which, though they had great characters, never allowed their characters to learn, now we have the CSI franchise and Bones where the characters arc is as important as the story.
We see this also in the new Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who, revamped series that have gained much from the changes in storytelling brought about by Joss.
The TV Show Blog has an excellent article exploring the Joss Effect, looking at how much we have gained because of this, even though the storyline’s can at times put us through the emotional wringer.

What do you think? Did Joss really change the way TV is made? Or were others there before him? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Would you like to see ‘Firefly’ as you have never seen it before, in High Definition?
Well you can this July if you have the cable television network Universal HD. Unfortunately I don’t. They have also opened up a webpage and message board to mark the event.
Lets hope that this means that at some point we will get to see a Hi-Def version of ‘Firefly’ on DVD. Wouldn’t that be just shiny?
