As I type this, i’ve spent the past 3 or so weeks watching Buffy & Angel (currently on Angel season 5) from start to finish. One thing that made me somewhat angry was how Angel was cancelled out of the blue and most of the characters never really had their stories closed. Once Angel was cancelled there were talks of a bunch of TV movies, spinoff shows etc (Faith, Spike) which never really eventuated.

Now with Dollhouse on TV (created by Joss Whedon!) and the ratings aren’t doing the greatest, TV By The Numbers seems to think that Dollhouse won’t be getting renewed. While I like Dollhouse and think it’s one of the better shows on TV I am hoping that if it does get cancelled Eliza Dushku finally has a clean schedule and agrees to do the long awaited Faith tv show.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has moved onto movies and David Boreanaz is doing Bones (which sucks) so they are pretty much out of the picture. James Marsters agreed to do TV movies, so maybe he would be along for the ride on a Faith tv show (he did Smallville!) and Amy Acker could come along too since she’s on Dollhouse (which may get cancelled).

I liked Tim Minear’s original idea for a Faith tv show about her riding around on a motorcycle, sort of Faith meets Kung-Fu. Perhaps add in Spike & Illyria once the show has established itself after 1/2 a season or so and the show could pickup where the previous tv series left off.

Here’s hoping!

One of the best 5 TV shows ever (behind The Wire, The Sopranos, Buffy & Angel) returns in 2 weeks with it’s 5th season! Last season broke the time travelling part of the story and left viewers waiting at the end of wondering where the island had gone. A new promo has been posted (click here) which gives a good preview of what’s to come. Also courtesy of SpoilerTV I have linked a few reviews below which do contain spoilers.
