Exciting Buffy News! And Whedony updates!!

So it looks like we are getting Buffy comics until 2009! Weee. I also just read about a Fray/Buffy arc coming up in issue #16 which is very exciting. The amazing Karl Moline will be back to do that artwork as well! Then Jeph Loeb (Smallville and Heroes)will be doing a Buffy Animated issue.

There will be a Buffy Tarot Deck!!!! AHHHHHH! I am so excited for this!

Check out the NYCC Dark Horse Panel for more info!

Sarah Connor got picked up! Weee!

Behold Spike...err I mean Adam Ant...err I Mean Captain John...meow!

If you aren't already watching Torchwood....well, get on it. James Marsters is back and very Spikey on the show. Plus he snogs Jack....and my it was hot!

Yes, I know its been a while...

Sorry folks. I keep trying and trying but life is getting in the way. I have a script to finish...another to start for my theatre, and a dear friend who lost his dad to cheer up...and those are all trumping podcasts. I am hoping to get something out this weekend...but then I have been saying that since february right. So clearly I am filled with lies.

In the meantime...check out Wildclaw's Blood Radio (yet another podcast i am working on) and check out the most recent episodes of the Scapecast for articles written by yours truly.

And for the love of pete...watch frelling Farscape. It ruleZ.

My Buffy Between the Lines Episode is up!

Weeee....Listen to my episode! I just listened and I think it turned out really well. Note that I totally cribbed a line from Sam Shepard...I doubt he will notice. Also, everyone should read the beautiful play, The Dybukk, which was also a point of inspiration. Also..there's a dash of Fiddler on the Roof just for fun.

Now to finish up my episode for season two...then I can get back to podcasting.

Dollhouse Casting has occured....

Wee...we have some casting news. Head to Dollverse for more info!

First off...the super hot Tahmoh Penikett (Helo from BSG & Wes Keenan from Smallville) is playing Paul Smith. Fran Kranz (a dude) is playing Topher Brink, Dichen Lachman is Sierra, and Enver Gjokaj is Victor. Awesome news...I love Tahmoh and we know Joss is a huge Battlestar fan so this makes perfect sense. I have heard people grousing about how these folks are relative unknowns. So was most of Buffy and almost all of Firefly's cast...and look how that turned out. Remember...In Joss, We Trust yall... do not question his genius...or question but wait and see how it turns out. My only gripe is the hard time I am going to have pronouncing these peoples names for a podcast. Ugh.

Nothing to do this Weekend?- See THEATRE!!!

I have got three options for you: Strawdog's Richard III, Wildclaw's Great God Pan, and Teatro Vista's Dreamlandia. Richard and Pan are closing this weekend...so get it while the gettin's good. Dreamlandia opens on Monday.

But Aly, what does theatre have to do with Buffy?

Well my friends...not a whole lot. But theatre is a vital branch of the arts and the experience of sitting in a theatre while actors breathe life into characters, while music and lights transform the mood in an instant, while a simple change of a hat can create a whole new character...well that is magic. Something everyone should experience. So check these shows out...

Spike plays Ted Bundy & Brainiac

James Marsters is once again exploring his inner psycho...last night's Smallville featured him as Brainiac (and he ROCKED!)...and he is sure to return in the last episodes of the season. Look for more info on Smallville from the boys at Starkville's House of El. James is also set to play serial killer Ted Bundy in the lifetime movie The Capture of the Green River Killer which premieres this saturday. I put it on ye olde tivo...If you saw them let me know what you think!

Buffy Reunion at Paley Center News

First of all, I hate everyone of you who got to go.

Since that's out of the way, here's the skinny:

Michelle Trachtenberg will be joining the cast of CW's Gossip Girl (I will still not be watching though...)

Seems unlikely that there will be another Buffy project unless lots of stars align.

Sarah Michelle was surprised by Buffy's trip to the L Word in comics.

Amber Benson and I have the same haircut!

Joss would love to take Buffy to Broadway.

Oz will be showing up in Season Eight Comics (weeeeeeee!).

Go here to read a nice summary.

Spike: After the Fall Comic Series

IDW will release a new comic miniseries, Spike:After the Fall, beginning in July. Brian Lynch and Franco Urru, the creative team on Angel: After the Fall . will handle the creative chores on the new four-issue miniseries.

The story for the new miniseries will flow out of "First Night," an upcoming story arc in issues #6 through #8 of Angel: After the Fall.

The Spike: After the Fall storyline will take Spike from the events in "First Night" and explore his changing relationship with Illyria in the new city. It will answer many questions, including how Spike ended up taking over a certain mansion in Westwood.

Buffy Mini-Scythe for Pre-Order

Woot! Finally some new Buffy swag. I am sooooo getting this.

Now, Factory X adds the miniature version of the Slayer's Scythe from the highly popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer prop replica series. The Miniature Slayer's Scythe was created referencing the full 1:1 version produced by Factory X. The original Factory X 1:1 Scythe was crafted by using Joss Whedon's personal souvenir prop scythe as reference. The collectible miniature Slayer's Scythe is 10.5 inches long and weighs less then 1 pound, making this Slayer's Scythe a must have for every office desk and serious collector of Buffy prop replicas. This handsome piece makes a great letter opener or simply protection for those that hunt the night. Retails for $22.95 and scheduled to ship in June!

On sale for $19.99 from Time and Space Toys and use the FREESHIPPING Code and put at least one in stock item in your basket and you get it shipped free. Nice!
