London is a happening place

From Joss Whedon's blog: Advance screenings of Serenity, the cinematic continuation of the dearly departed Firefly, are taking place in London.

Also found through the same source: Doctor Who has apparently regenerated again. From the FAQ: The official World Premiere of new series starts in the UK on BBC1 on Saturday March 26th at 7pm. The North American premiere will be Tuesday April 5th 8pm on CBC in Canada. No airdate has been given for the series in Australia or New Zealand yet, and a US broadcaster has not yet been announced.

Grrrr.

It looks like the Sci-Fi Channel was initially considering airing Doctor Who but ultimately decided it wasn't quite up to their standards:

"Sci Fi Channel has already had a chance at the new series and passed after viewing some of the completed episodes. Some of the executives at the network found the series somewhat lacking and didn't think it would fit into the network's schedule..."

Last night the "Sci Fi Channel" proudly advertised their latest opus, which presumably is "up to their standards". Apparently it really impressed the executives with its originality. It's titled Mansquito. You know, like *man* plus *mosquito*. Get it? Huh? Get it?

Somewhere, Jay Sherman is pronouncinghis verdict.
