Sexual Rhetoric in the Works of Joss Whedon - due out on 26th January 2011. Not sure how I didn't see the original announcement for it but it certainly sounds interesting from the blurb:
Topics covered include the role of virginity, lesbianism and homoeroticism in the shows and the comics, the nature of masculinity and femininity and gender stereotypes, an exploration of sexual binaries, and a ranking of the Buffy characters on the Kinsey scale of sexuality.

A few weeks ago I looked at the Supanova website for this year's guests in Perth and didn't see anything of particular interest to me so I wasn't going to go.

And then I go back today and what do I see but this:
Tahmoh Penikett
Eliza Dushku
Charisma Carpenter and
Felicia Day.

Holy crap!

The nominations are up for this year's Hugo Awards - and under the category BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION - SHORT FORM, both Dollhouse Epitaph 1 and FlashForward No More Good Days are nominated.

All thirteen S2 episodes will be shown regardless of viewing numbers, or so it is claimed. If this really is true, it is damned good news. I would say though that it is very unlikely that there will be an S3, sadly.

According to Airlock Alpha, Kevin Reilly said this about S2 of Dollhouse:

"[The mandate is] to keep doing what he's doing. That is really the gift of Joss. Some people can create a good show. Joss was pretty open about those hiccups. I think in the second half of the year, he found the show and started having fun with it. I don't think he was having a lot of fun early on, but he was fantastic to work with all the way through. The fact that he found that, it will be much smoother sailing this year."

Translation - "HANDS OFF!" and that can only be to the better for the series.
