Whedon on Mars and Spike

I love Joss Whedon. Buffy and Angel were a couple of the best shows of the past decade. He's a genius.

If you agree (and you're a brainless mouthbreather if you don't), then you'll be interested to know that Joss has recently done two noteworthy things, leaving aside preparing for the release of Serenity in the theaters on September 30.

First, Whedon wrote a veritable love letter to UPN's Veronica Mars on his website. He's right, you know. You should be watching that show. It's by far the show sporting the most ridiculous inverse quality-to-ratings ratio. The second season promises to be great.

Second, Whedon reportedly approached long-time collaborator Tim Minear about writing the oft-hoped-for-but-thought-unlikely Spike-based TV movie. Yippeee!
