TVGuide.com: Is Battlestar your favorite current TV show?
Whedon: Yes, that is my favorite show. Maybe ever.



WOW. Does he ever. Is that an endorsement or what?

Actually, when you think about it, it's exactly the kind of show he *would* love.

Starbuck acts like a teenage girl most of the time and she kicks butt so I imagine thats where his femma-fighter-fetish is fullfilled. Wow, alliteration city.

LOL, she really does sometimes, doesn't she?

Joss has said his favorite movie is "The Matrix." I can see lots of paralells between BSG and the movie. Like, you know, there are only a handful of humans that have survived and they're runnin from evil macines...

Plus, as much as people will accuse BSG of being "so plot-driven", it does take care of its characters so well. In some ways, it and Lost (among other shows) are the heirs of Buffy in that regard: action shows with characters that really, really matter.

Arcadia (aka Greyfable and/or Katie)
www.stillflying.net -- picking up Firefly were Joss left off. We will hold 'til he gets back.

Well, Katee Sackhoff is only a year older than Summer Glau, and is 3 years younger than Sarah Michelle Gellar, so I'd say she still fills that nubile ass-kicker archetype Joss seems so drawn to.

When it comes to tv sometimes Joss has worthless tastes, there's a spin off show Caprica in the works which already looks like junk

and What happened to all the Black people in the orginal ?
Ok we've an Asian or so in the new one but the ethnic composition isn't very balanced

Somebody should tell Joss the reimagined show jumped the shark
