19701: 20 All Time Coolest Heros in Pop Culture.

Posted last week.

19700: 'Angel's' Andy Hallett dies at age 33.

Already on the front page.

19691: NASA in Colbert conundrum over Space Station.

This poll is getting more coverage than it deserves.

19694: Angel Star Andy Hallett Dies of Heart Failure.

Duplicate posting of this sad news, which is still on the front page

19689: T-Rex believes we should all be River Tam

This one's a bit too thin for a front page item.

19688: 12 fake sci-fi Twitter feeds worth following.

No link and we had a very similar item last week, (the Xander Harris one).

19682: Dayne Johnson Posts That Andy Hallett Has Passed Away

It's completely unacceptable to post a link to someone's MySpace site with a statement saying that person had posted a bulletin about Andy's death. This is how very ugly Internet rumours are started.

This American Life--Live!

This has been mentioned here and here.

Saturday, March 28, 2009

19669: Dollhouse Episode 7 "Echoes" is now available on Hulu.

Added to the review entry which already contained a link to the episode available to on Fox on Demand.

19661: Toy Story in 3-D returning to theaters this year

This news from January 2008 was posted at Whedonesque at the time.

19660: 25 Butt-kicking Babes

Originally posted back in October of last year.

19657: Firefly mention in webcomic.

Already on the front page.

19644: Another Day, Another "Firefly" Mention

Posted March 24th

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

19630: Joss Invited to Attend Vancouver Dollhouse Viewing Party.

Not quite front page news and also may break our no self-linking rule.

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

19628: Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof caught strolling by TMZ.

Not convinced of the need to link to pap sites.

19621: Top 50 Movie Finishing Moves.

This has already been posted today.

Seth Green in "White'n Nerdy"

Not really front page material.

19613: Someone to look out for in Episode "Omega"

We've had umpteen threads about this one.

Monday, March 23, 2009

19610: "Washington Field" Pilot Blowing Up Stuff in DC.

As stated before, coverage of actors in other shows is usually restricted to premieres, cancellations, interviews and guest spots. And not explosions.

19607: Boston Globe hosting a live chat with Jane Espenson tomorrow to discuss BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

The trouble with posting news about a non-Joss chat so close to the date is that odds on it will get bumped off the front page by the time the chat actually takes place. So it would be better if this particular item was reposted a couple of hours before the chat takes place.

19605: Save the Spike Statuette!

See below

19600: Wonder Woman Animated DVD debuts at #5 on DVD chart.

There's gotta be at least a smidgen of Whedon-related content in the linked piece to rate a front-page entry . . .

Sunday, March 22, 2009

19599: Save The Spike statuette!

This is a little thin for the front-page, but would be fine to post in our flickr group or on whedonesque.org in the Fan Campaigns threads.  

Oh, and what Simon said - that'll teach me to read the Deleted Posts blog first.  :-)

19598: Save Spike statuette!

One we really don't links to online petitions, two there doesn't seem to be any indication that the Spike statue will get cancelled.

19597: Sneak peak at Warehouse 13

Jane is no longer working on this show.

19595: SCI FI To Air Serenity Thursday, May 14th At 9PM Eastern

Not really front news as SciFi Channel have aired Serenity already and news about this next showing would really be better off posted on the day.

19594: Wedding variant on ebay.

There was a very similar item posted back in January and to be honest this new item is not going to generate much in terms of new discussion.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/18798

19593: Promo photos for Dollhouse 1x09.

Link was added to the press release entry yesterday.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/19583

19588: "Man on the Street" on Hulu.com.

Posted with the review thread.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/19580

19578: The Hugo Awards

News about this was posted earlier today.

Friday, March 20, 2009

19573: Family Guy's Stewie Guests on Another Series and you'll never guess which one...

See previous entry.

19571: Hottest Vamps not in Twilight - where are vamps from the Whedonverse?

It's a bit light in terms of reference to deserve a link on the front page.

19569: A Bones Crossover Coming In May.

Not quite Whedonverse related as it indirectly deal with David Boreanaz. If it had quotes from David then it would have been fine.

19564: Jane Espenson chatted with Afterellen.com readers

Already linked to on the front page.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/19551

19566: Jane Espenson's New Series Not Airing On SCI FI...But On Syfy.

Jane is no longer attached to Warehouse 13.

Thursday, March 19, 2009

19554: James Gunn confirms Alan Tudyk to star with Belladonna in next PG PORN entitled "HIGH POON" (semi-NSFW)

As reported last October.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/17950

19553: Whedon Clears the Air: Dollhouse Isn't a "Funny" House.

Same material and quotes that came from yesterday's LA Times coverage of Joss' conference call.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/19541

19552: Whedon's natural home?

As said in a previous entry, this one is a bit thin for a front page entry.

19550: IMDb to Give Web Shows Their Own Category.

Not quite front page news.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

19545: A name Whedon fans can get behind

We're having a very busy day on the front page and this is a bit light for an entry.

19542: IGN Reviews "Man on the Street"

Merged with the previous 'Man on the Street' review.

19543: Joss to speak at Harvard, and will receive a Humanist lifetime achievement award.

This news has already been posted.

19539: Alyson Hannigan on St. Patrick's Day.

We had a Alyson Hannigan/St Patricks's Day story posted yesterday.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

19519: Castle's second episode draws similar numbers.

What SNT said two posts below applies to the ratings for a non-Joss show as well.

19512: Vote for Charisma Carpenter - NSFW

Not safe for Whedonesque, frankly.  The occasional bit of glamor is nice, but this crosses over into, as one commenter put it, ewww-territory - and adds nothing to stuff we've seen here before.

19516: Discuss Nathan Fillion's Castle ep 2 "Nanny McDead"

Last week's premiere was a nice one-off, but we're not going to do discussions of every episode for non-Joss shows - otherwise, we'd be doing Bones, HIMYM, etc. and etc.  Feel free to discuss on whedonesque.org.  Cheers.

19513: Vote Whedon!

News about the final round of this poll was posted back on the 9th.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/19408

Saturday, March 14, 2009

19494: Dollhouse 1x05 "True Believer" on Hulu.com

Already linked, a handful of posts down the page.

19494: Dollhouse x10 at Best Buy.

It's a bit light for the front page.

19489: iFanboy reviews the new Wonder Woman animated feature.

The Nathan mention is a bit light on its so the link was merged with the preceding Nathan item.

Friday, March 13, 2009

Last chance to vote for Joss as Secretary of Geek Affairs

Not new, this has already been posted.

19477: Big Damn Quote on IMDB's frontpage.

The trouble with linking to the front page of IMDB is that the content changes daily and Whedonesque is all about the permanent link. So as nice as it is to see the quote unfortunately it can't stay.

19471: Dr. Horrible is the king of Hulu.

The Hulu Awards news was posted the other day.

http://whedonesque.com/?comments=19461

19472: Morena Baccarin will be in ABC's remake of "V"

This news was posted on March 9

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Charisma Carpenter is An Expendable.

Already posted.

19465: Charisma Carpenter goes Expendable.

This news was posted back on the 9th of March.


http://whedonesque.com/comments/19416

19457: Seth Green has joined Twitter.

It's actually his official site and not the actor himself so not quite front page news.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

Colbert tries to fight back against the node 3 naming.

This has been discussed in the past and we don't really need a blow by blow of every time Colbert mentions it.

19453: Charisma Carpenter cast in action movie "The Expendables" directed by Sylvester Stallone!

19450: The Chosen One for New Media.

Posted back in January.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/18569

19448: "Cabin" gets more crowded!

Duplicate post

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

19443: Joss to Appear on "This American Life - Live!"

19440: Cover Art for Angel 23.

See previous entry.

19438: The colored cover for Angel #23.

The b/w version was posted a week ago and it's unlikely that any new discussion will arise as a result.

19436: Amber Benson guest stars on this week's episode of "Private Practice".

There would be more point posting this on the day so people actually talk about her appearance.

19434: Vote for Mal!

If there was only half an hour to go, there wasn't much point in posting the poll.

19435: Vote for Buffy in "TV Cup" (again).

We don't have to post about every round.

19433: In The Blood - Why Do Vampires Still Thrill?

We've been getting a bit off topic with the vampire stuff of late and this entry was a bit thin in terms of Whedonverse relevance.

The Wonderful Maladys

Simon has deleted this a couple of times as have I - scroll back for the reason.

19424: BtVS Worst Theme Song Ever?!

See March 6 for reason why this was deleted before, and is being deleted again.

From a Companion to an E.T.

This info was already linked.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Acquires a Pair of Siblings

Simon says no! See previous deletions.

Monday, March 9, 2009

19414: Live chat with Jane Espenson at AfterEllen.com.

This would be more relevant if it were posted on the actual day.

19413: Kings of the 'Castle'

Already posted.

19412: Casting News for SMG's HBO Series

See previous entry on this matter.

19411: MSN article about Castle.

Four Castle articles on the front page is a bit too much so this was added to the AV Club entry.

Preview for Blood and Trenches.

These pages were posted on a Comics Continuum link on March 6th.

19409: Sarah Michelle Gellar's HBO Pilot Goes Forward.

Non Whedonverse casting news is not really front page news.

Sunday, March 8, 2009

On the Dollhouse dilemma and Joss Whedon's body of work.

Posted earlier and still on the front page in fact!

Saturday, March 7, 2009

19378: Huffington Post Takes A Shot At Nathan Fillion

There's already been a thread about Nathan's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, no real need for another. And this particular article is a typical "we need the hits" blog post i.e. a waste of space.

Friday, March 6, 2009

19375: Buffy the Worst Theme Song EVER?!?

Stringing 10 YouTube videos together does not make an article.

19374: Help NASA name Node 3 Serenity!

This has been posted before.

19368: Nathan Fillion on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

This would be better off posted in the Jimmy Kimmel thread from the day before.

19363: Dollhouse is Homeless?

While a YouTube Fox promo about T:SCC, Fringe, and the return of Prison Break could be interpreted as saying something about Dollhouse, it's very very thin information to base a story upon.  Let's wait for something a little more solid

Thursday, March 5, 2009

19353: A nod to Firefly in Wolverine?

A bit too thin.

19345: AV Club Interviews Eliza Dushku

Already posted on February 27

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

19343: Sneak Peek of Nathan Fillion and the Special Guest Star on Castle.

Posted back on the 12th.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/19053

19338: Colbert must be stopped!!!

Non story, see previous.

19337: Mobilize against the Colbert Nation!

"This link was posted a couple of weeks ago," so really no need to post it again.

19336: NASA Needs Help Naming Space Node 3

Possibly the 4th or 5th time this has been deleted - it was originally posted on February 19.

Later episodes of Dollhouse key to survival?

Light for the front page and really how long can our TV By the Numbers Circular Lovesfest continue?

Amy Acker to Star in the Two-Hour ABC Pilot "Happy Town".

I've already posted a link that gave more information than this one on this subject.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

19324: "For our friends at Whedonesque".

Not really front page material (redux).

19323: Tv by the Numbers makes it clear.

Not quite front page news.

Monday, March 2, 2009

19313: The Guardian's Jonathan Bernstein wonders whether Dollhouse's premise is too much.

Posted yesterday. It's not even scrolled off the frontpage yet. Please check before posting.

19310: Just a comicstrip.

Link already posted a few days back.

Sunday, March 1, 2009

19303: Kaylee needs your vote!

Merged with the preceding poll entry.

19297: Review of "Dollhouse: Stage Fright" in iF Magazine.

Added to a Dollhouse piece on the front page (to save space).

192999: Nathan Fillion on ABC's The View Friday March 6.

It would probably be better if this was posted on the actual day.

19298: Penny Arcade tackles Dollhouse in latest webcomic

Already posted.  Yesterday.
