"strawberry-blonde"

...Gonna have to respectfully disagree with that assessment.

"TV wunderkind" .... this stuff always makes me giggle but yay for more buzz for Joss.

Is it just me, or is that the soundtrack cover as the story illustration?

Certainly seems like the reviewer is a fan of westerns and viewed Firefly favorably in that light.

I'm with QuanticoMVP. A lot of people on the web have been referring to Joss as "strawberry blonde" lately. But as far as I can tell he's just a redhead. No blond. Just strawberry.

-50 points for adding to the fan support got the movie greenlit myth and -10 for misusing the word "ancient," but +200 for this:

One of Whedon’s best assets as a writer is his ability to take ancient clichés and do something brand new with them. The pilot episode of “Firefly” has a wonderful variation on the old chestnut where the villain pulls a gun and says “don’t anybody move” that is worthy of Howard Hawks.

I like it when people say something new and insightful like that.

For many years, Joss Whedon's hair was an underappreciated yet critically acclaimed rising talent in Hollywood. It earned its status as a cult icon early on due to the devoted fanbase that energized around David Boreanaz's spikey-messy style, yet it wasn't until Whedonshair.com that fans found a place to really delve into the issues that emerged from its works. What was the true nature of its color, for instance? Why did all of the really conflicted vampires get such cool hair, and what can that tell us about the nature of evil in the Whedonshairverse?

To settle this once an for all, I present, from my own personal archive, a close up of the hair in question here.

Looks brown to me...

Is Dollhouse premiering in January? I thought it was later in the year.

I love that Serenity is mentioned and the writer put in the information about not all the episodes airing.

Also, how the writer thought up a new way to plug Firefly. While waiting for Joss Whedon's Dollhouse...Netflix Firefly. It is not like there is a whole lot of good new on TV now except Sci-Fi Fridays.


jclemens,

It is not just you and that is the Firefly soundtrack cover. See Greg's name. Maybe they needed a square pic. Or maybe they thought it was a better pic or just different enough. Doesn't the ship seem to stand out more than on the dvd cover. And it looks like the crew is on a moon and the ship and Earth-like planet is above them.

Yeah, but most of us were just mocking an article posted here earlier. We need to get to work inventing those <sarcasm> and <mockery> xml tags ;)
