got a nerdy mind?
If you know Whedon television, you know we always lose the ones we love. No one is safe, and MARVEL's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (the small-screen counterpart to Marvel Cinematic Universe's Avengers) is no exception. It's because of this that we often have to look back on fond memories of our favorite characters, as we've done here with the dead... Continue Reading →
Animaniacs was one of the most educational cartoons of the 90s. Take a moment to finish laughing and then prepare to be shocked. Through silly songs (take THAT, Veggie Tales!) and goofy scenes, the Warner brothers and their Warner sister too taught us countries, state capitals, and even the Gettysburg Address. But what about now? A... Continue Reading →
There's no greater joy than seeing actors who genuinely love the world in which they work. This definitely can be said about the cast of The Flash, some of which (John Wesley Shipp, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, and Robbie Amell) we had the pleasure of being in the same room with. During this Q&A, these actors... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year again. We’ve endured the winter’s snow, ice, and traffic nightmares; we’ve survived the spring’s annual blessing of yellow rivers that drift lazily through the air, coating our homes, cars, and lungs with a carpet of pollen; and now we’ve finally reached the hot, sauna days of summer. If you listen... Continue Reading →
2013 brought us a new corporate structure behind the scenes to everyone’s favorite Labor Day weekend tradition in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. That change brought only a minor tweak to the convention itself. It was no longer Dragon*Con with the two words linked together by an asterisk, but now simply just Dragon Con. While some of...

(The following post is for all Whedonverse fans but should resonate even further for those who attend Dragon Con.) Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More with Feeling" VERSUS Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Both featuring singing superheroes and supervillains (yes, Buffy is a superhero). Both by geek god extraordinaire, Joss Whedon. Put lightly, both pretty freaking... Continue Reading →
Convention season has come around again, and I have noticed a troubling trend among some of the attendees. Con-goers see hundreds of superheroes and supervillains on any given convention day, from the steampunk Batman to retro Wonder Woman. Dressing as these characters not only gives us the ability to show our support but also grants... Continue Reading →
Miracle Laurie (Dollhouse) arranged to stop by for an interview and see an old friend ... the original screen-used imprint chair from Topher's office! A few years ago, Joss Whedon broke his usual mold and created the short-lived series Dollhouse. It traded the witty surreal formula of vampires and spaceships for a more serious, and more...

No matter what time of year it is, there always seems to be a convention quickly approaching. Going to cons is supposed to be enjoyable, like a vacation. For cosplayers, however, it can also be a huge source of stress. Wait too long to start on your costume, and suddenly you’re pouring every waking moment... Continue Reading →
