    He wrote some good X-Men comics a few years back... and they're turning them into motion comics.

    That's new media, right?

    Honestly, my only question about this is if this award is for the all of the Whedon family for Dr. Horrible or just Joss for directing it?

    There's a saying among writers that every writer has one story to tell, and he/she attempts to tell that one story in a variety of ways. Like the cliche says, there are many sides to a story, and if Joss hasn't finished telling those sides, which we know he isn't, regardless of what audiences/production companies think, he's going to do his best to tell those stories in whatever format is available for him to use. Firefly, Buffy, Dollhouse, the man's going to keep going.

    I think by newest technology they are referring to the Imprinting device on Dollhouse. Because if the PGA is gonna give Whedon an award for anything after that suck-fest it's proof that they are all dolls and Joss is their master.

    Writers/producers/directors all want more attention to go toward "new media". As of right now most of them don't get a cut of online money (Itunes sales/ad bucks) even if they produce material exclusively for online. This would change if "New Media" was recognized as its own distribution channel, not merely as an advertising forum for tradition outlets. ..

    So I'm calling this a jump on the bandwagon moment more then anything.

    @Tracy Ham and Eggs: sure, but its a bandwagon we should all be on, so I'm happy.
    Shows should survive or die purely by how much fans value them.And thats what online distro can give us.

    I second the sentiment about less fighting over Ms. Dushku. She's nice and all, but no actress is worth everything going down the tubes.

    @ggodo, the man from R.O.A.C.H.: I guess with Dollhouse done now, she's out of her obligation to Fox so perhaps both she and Joss can get on with other things.

    @ggodo, the man from R.O.A.C.H.: There's two kinds of producers: Line men, and artists. Line men have a singular job, and that's to make the network happy, by making a show that gets the most viewers and attracts the highest paying sponsors. They run an ecosystem. Whedon fancies himself an artist: an artist will stand his ground and let his art die before he compromises. Which for us fans mean instead of enjoying years and years of quality television that is constantly evolving to make it's self more attractive, we get brief spurts of genius followed by long pauses while the artist starves to find a creative outlet willing to pay for his ego because he stepped on the toes of the last fools who were distributing his art. Whedon needs to self publish, because only HE won't mind if he doesn't make his money back.

    In reply to Post-Dollhouse, Whedon Returns To Buffy?
    "No Future For You" was probably the best arc of the comics. It felt more like the TV show than some of the other arcs anyway.

    I'm not a big fan the recent "Retreat". The idea of Scooby Gang wielding machine guns and rocket launchers is a little ridiculous, but facing a modern army (tanks and all) with them is just weird.

    I would love another spinoff on television. A Giles or Faith centered show would kick ass.

    @octaslash: Yea I tried to get into the first arc of 'Season 8' since it first came out but couldn't sit through it.

    It was kind of boring and didn't feel like a continuation of the t.v. series.

    Also they keep bringing back old characters and villains I had totally forgotten about which got confusing. #buffythevampireslayer

    @octaslash: Giles spin-off, HELL YES PLEASE!! I would watch many seasons of "Ripper".

    Faith spin-off.. Yeah, no thanks. Eliza Dushku is a liability IMO. #buffythevampireslayer

    @AllOfUsAreLost.: Faith spin off would have worked when it was first kicked around right after Buffy. Now I agree it wouldn't work and she may well be a liability.

    Really its the same with any of the spin-offs. Ripper, Spike, etc. #buffythevampireslayer

    @octaslash: omg the Giles series rumors have been floating around since at least 2001 - LET THEM GO. and Faith? We had that show, it was called DollHouse. Think about the parallels.

    Troubled Past including brushes with the law? Faith? Check. Echo? Check.

    Recent death of a very significant male influence which changed her life substantially? Faith? Check (mayor) Echo? Check (boyfriend)

    Strong desire to run away and just forget the past?
    Check. Check.

    Impulsive and somewhat reckless? Creative - thinks outside the box? Check. Check.

    Close relationship with evil mastermind?
    Check. Check.

    I think it's OBVIOUS that the Dollhouse is where Faith went for her recuperation. Just look at all the similarities - and heck, the two characters even LOOK alike. You can't tell me that is just coincidence.

    (I am pretty sure Angel was getting a pretty large 'referral fee' for all the troubled people he sent to Adele. All those people traumatized by demonic violence who couldn't deal with reality as they suddenly discovered it to be. The fees are the only way to explain how he was able to afford the upkeep/taxes/utilities to maintain an entire hotel in LA) #buffythevampireslayer
