Reed Diamond of Dollhouse fame also appears in it. The play will be on at 9pm, listen to it live here. If you can't get a chance to listen to it as it's broadcast, well someone sent us an email to say that "Listeners in America (and presumably the rest of the world) can hear it on the BBC iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio) any time from Dec 11 - Dec 17". |

Mass Effect 2 voice cast video. http://whedonesque.com/comments/22610 http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/masseffect2workingtitle/video/6242706?hd=1&tag=topslot;img;1 Adam Baldwin, Michael Hogan, Seth Green and more announced to be in Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect was an awesome game, and with an even better voice cast than the last one, including Whedon vets like Seth Green, Adam Baldwin and Michael Hogan, as well as fan favorites like Tricia Helfer, Michael Dorn, and Yvonne Strahovski, as well as Martin Sheen, this game looks to be even better than the last one. |

IDW to release an Andy Hallett/Lorne tribute comic by John Byrne. http://whedonesque.com/comments/22608 http://ryalltime.blogspot.com/2009/12/lornes-final-song.html A final send-off for Lorne who will no longer be used in main Angel continuity after this and a fitting tribute to Andy Hallett. Mark Lutz will also be contributing.
I have to say, IDW is very classy for doing this and while I'm going to miss the character from future stories,I understand why it's been decided to honor Andy and retire the character from use. |

Michelle Trachtenberg gets praise for Mercy role at TV Worth Watching. http://whedonesque.com/comments/22604 http://www.tvworthwatching.com/blog/2009/12/guest-blog-66-ed-martin-bestow.shtml Featuring picture of Michelle in Hello Kitty scrubs. Here's the paragraph that mentions Michelle:
"The rest of the Mercy cast is similarly likeable, especially Michelle Trachtenberg as naive Chloe Payne, a newbie nurse who's all heart, if somewhat unbelievably clueless about certain things (like expecting to be taken seriously after wearing Hello Kitty smocks to work). I've always felt that Trachtenberg came on too strong as cloying supernatural construct Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I find her annoying in her recurring Gossip Girl role of rich witch Georgina Sparks. But I enjoy watching her balance the twin pressures Chloe faces as she tries to build both a grown-up career and an adult personal life, often flailing or failing at both but never growing cold or cynical in the face of multiple defeats." |

Title: "No Peace for the Living" 'Verse: SPN Characters: Castiel (with brief appearances by Sam and Dean) Rating: PG Word Count: 928 Summary: Castiel deals with a more painful aspect of being human. Author's Notes: Set in the aftermath of "Abandon All Hope", presuming events took place that were not shown on screen (but are detailed here.). Specifically addresses the big spoiler for the episode - *major* angst lies under the cut. ( He'd only been trying to help. ) Current Mood: accomplished |

This course illustrates a variety of sci-fi themes: utopian and dystopian societies, relationships between humans, alien contact, post apocalyptic futures, female heroes and the metaphor of the vampire and the zombie. We will look closely at Aliens, The Terminator and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We will read fiction and essays by Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, Bell Hooks, and others.
