Joss Whedon's TV show Dollhouse has officially been canceled. While I'm sad something I actually watch (and I watch less and less television these days) has been shitcanned, at the same time I'm surprised a show about brainwashed rape victims and their sociopathic handlers lasted as long as it did. And I liked the show.
Michael Moorcock will be writing a Doctor Who novel. Pretty unusual for a writer I like to be working on a licensed property I like, so I'll be looking forward to this one. Though it begs the question, why doesn't Moffat just have Moorcock write an actual episode of the show? If The Wire can bring in great crime novel writers I see no reason why Doctor Who can't bring in great sf writers.
Other fun stuff: new fiction by Matt Cheney online for free, always a reason to celebrate.
And some videos:
Every time travel cliche in one video!
Awesome soviet animation! This is apparently based on a Ray Bradbury short story. (Ray Bradbury seems to have been very popular in Soviet Russia.)
