Oh and she posted this pic of Whedon and herself the other day. [Thanks Nick Botfield!]

    Dollhouse's Unaired Post-Apocalyptic Episode Could Spawn A New Spin-Off

    Even if we don't get any more Dollhouse after tonight's finale, that may not be the last we see of Joss Whedon's brain-warping vision. Sources tell E! Online that the final episode — the post-apocalyptic one which won't air on Fox, but will be on the DVD — may lead in an unexpected direction. It's by no means definite, but spinning the unaired episode, "Epitaph One," into a new series, is "not exactly outside the realm of Joss' master plan." Here's hoping. And of course, my curiosity to see this weird departure of an episode is now piqued even more than it already was. One question: Would this hypothetical spin-off actually star Felicia Day?
