The 13 best villain songs of all time. Three Whedonverse songs made this list.

The A.V. Club's guide to horror TV shows. Buffy is featured alongside the likes of The X-Files, Twin Peaks, and other landmark shows.

The rise of Buffy studies: why academics love the show. This great piece by Katharine Schwab breaks down some of the reasons why Buffy the Vampire Slayer has paved the way in legitimizing the academic study of television shows.

The Sailor Moon/Buffy the Vampire Slayer connection: Den of Geek US looks at the similarities between the two shows.

Serenity was released 10 years ago; it's time for a new Joss Whedon original. A solid case for Serenity and for Joss to do something different and new.

Music Video: Bring Firefly Back

"Bring Firefly Back: A Cher Lloyd parody" by Geekiarchy

The odds of Fox airing a new Firefly series are just slightly less than those of a full Star Trek: The Next Generation reboot starring the original cast.  Don't let that stop you from demanding more.

The production group Geekiarchy didn't stop with making T-shirts - they've done a full-on music video featuring an outstanding Adam Baldwin impersonator. The chorus refrain is good, but...I particularly like the 'verse.

I love this one.  Kotor needs to create an entire comic series featuring the Firefly crew.
