Summer Glau is welcomed to the "Dollhouse"

I love Eliza don't get me wrong but I bet Summer was Josh's first choice to play the main character, but she was doing another show... Too bad, I can see both in that role easily, but I hope they give Summer a huge part -- and or make the two main characters make out several times... HAHA

HELL YEAH!!!!! Well I'm just happy to see her working again.

I would love to see him bring back my old crush Stephanie Romanov !!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Summer is a bad choice or anything, but I actually dislike it when directors keep re-using people. It's like they can't be bothered to cast new people they don't know.  To be fair, this is also usually because they are writing, say, the same movies over and over with the same stories (like that guy from Knocked Up that seems to be playing the same role in like, 5 other movies from the same director). Joss obviously isn't doing that. But what about all the other actors out there? Are we really sure one of them wasn't really the best for the role, but Summer got the job because she was the best for the Firefly role and now she's jumped the line?

Plus, I can't be the only one who gets stuck on one actor - I still watch Alyson Hannigan in How I Met Your Mother and refer to her as Willow. And it gets exponentially harder when you have more people from the same show. Who are we really kidding - if Alyson Hannigan and Amber Benson guest-starred, would we be seeing their characters, or Willow and Tara??

that just made my day! Awesome...

Could that stated lesbian action be between the two of them please? I could die happy if that happened.

Prayers have been answered. I was so bummed when Terminator was cancelled, but now Summer Glau being back on television so soon, and on Dollhouse nonetheless. Two of my favorite Ladies together on one show, so priceless. 

Joss Whedon, you's a sly man. 

Don't forget, Summer Glau first became part of Joss' crew in Angel. She played the ballerina in the episode where the Russian dance troupe comes to town; and Angel realizes its the exact same performance or something like that.

Personally, I like how Joss re-uses his actors and such. I think not only is he always on the look out for new talent, but that he's also interested in making sure that others see their talent as well. Just look at Amy Acker's Fred. Joss killed of Fred to bring us Ilyria for a number of plot reasons, but also because he recognized this great talent, and was afraid that people would always see Amy Acker as Fred and not recognize her range as an actor.

He turned her in to a bad ass. A roll so different from Fred that it was easy to forget that we continued to mourn Fred even while the actress who played her remained on the show.

I think he pushes for and celebrates with the actors and crew who he recognizes as having potential. I think its great that Eliza felt she could approach Joss and say, I want you to write a show for me. Or that Amy Acker rocked Alias (literally, rocket launcher scene) because Joss turned her from Fred to Ilyria. Or that he keeps in touch and even does musical gatherings with Amber Benson and others actors.

I'm not certain its what he's shooting for, but he reminds me of a collective. It's Whedon's House. The crew members who want to become an extended family. It's like the old studios system before million dollar contracts. And it's not just Joss. But Tom Lenk helps Amber Benson, Benson Lenk, etc., etc. Not all actors, but a number want the opportunity to join Whedon's House. Look at Neil Patrick Harris, Miracle Laurie, or Olivia Williams.

I admit to following a staple of actors I meet via Whedon, including Eliza, Amy, Nathan, Hannigan, David, Summer, Seth, Felicia, Tom, Amber, etc.  Those not on regular shows are still doing awesome things (most, anyway).

love the fact that Summer will have a recurring role in Dollhouse next season. I am really curious to see where Joss takes next season.

As for the fact that Joss re-uses his actors/actress, I love that. To me, it shows he cares for the wellbeing of his actors.

& Joss Whedon! So many hot women- Dichen Lachman, Summer Glau, Eliza Dushku, and Amy Ackers all on my tv-at once? Yes please! (On a sidenote why do they all have weird names?)

The whole reusing actors thing really doesn't phase me or people who haven't seen them in any of Whedon's other ceations. He's loyal to his actors and keeps them employed- that's a great thing to do!

Yes, yes and hell yes! I'm so happy Summer has made it into the Dollhouse. Love it.

Dear 6 pound 8 ounce Baby Jesus,

 THANK YOU! and HELL YEAH!

I'm really hoping for some great interaction between these two. I can't wait for next season to start.

I'm glad no one can see me right now, because I'm geeking out like I've never geeked out before. I'm sitting here, wearing my Jayne hat, and I see 'Summer Glau is welcomed to the "Dolhouse". And I literally flung my arms in the air and yelled, "YES!!!" I cannot WAIT for season 2! I would LOVE to see Amber Benson make it on the show! Even for just one episode! And, if I might add, Glau and Dushku look hooottt in those pics.  

Very occasionally, if you pay attention, life doesn't suck.

Let me start by saying how DELIGHTED/EXCITED I was when I saw Summer at the top of afterellen's homepage. That's a first, right? It's an amazing feeling when two of your fav things combined, like vanilla ice cream & oreos. MMMmmmm....

Now, about Summer joining Dollhouse. I'm pretty sure when I first heard the news I made a noise that was part squee/orgasm/shriek. Suffice to say, be glad that I was alone at the time; someone might mistake me for a hyena. I'm so overjoyed that there's no way I can express myself properly with words, so I'll leave it at that.

You missed out Mark Sheppard! He was Badger in Firefly. (And Romo Lampkin in Battlestar Galactica.) He plays Tanaka in Dollhouse. 

I'm waiting for Jonathan M. Woodward to turn up, seeing as he was in Buffy, Angel and Firefly. And I would love to see Clare Kramer. It would be quite nice to see James Marsters again too. Oh, and any of the Troika.

And Christina Hendricks? Please?

"Hands upon my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Remember I will always love you,
Even as I claw your fucking throat away.
But it will end no other way"

I realize that Joss is loyal to his actors, but I also want the RIGHT actors in the right parts, thats what makes a show great.  Who had heard of David B (Angel), or Eliza, or even Nathan Fillion before Joss shows.  Thats' what made those shows great, the writing, the casting.  Let's hope that Joss doesn't get caught up in his ''fave'' casting and sees the bigger picture.

Bring on Gina Torres! 

I like the other women, but they don't say Strong Sexy Amazon like she does.

If you are after a Charisma fix.

Saw her in the sneak peek of Season 2 Legend of the Seeker, very loosely based off the Sword of Truth series by bestselling author Terry Goodkind.

She plays a Mordsith (elite group of women warriors dressed in skin tight leather outfits used to torture people with their own magic). In the trailer she shares a kiss with fellow costar Cara (Tabrett Bethell). Not sure if this is for the ratings or if she will be playing one of the lesbian characters from the books.
