Cosmic collision course.

That’s the lovely Felicia Day in a PSA from the Spitzer Science Center explaining why we shouldn’t fear the Andromeda galaxy because of IT’S IMPENDING MASSIVE COLLISION WITH OUR OWN GALAXY. Though, she’s right, of course.

This image is an effective metaphor for what this show has been like conceptually and from a network television standpoint.

I want to lament the also impending loss of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, which is slowly getting better as it crawls through it’s second season (and is taken off the air during November sweeps, only to be doubled up during December so that FOX can effectively kill off it’s produced run of episodes good and proper), which we will get to see in it’s entirety, as Fox has previously assured us, though it’ll only 13 or so episodes.

Is the post apocalyptic world and effective metaphor for an actor left behind after a television show is cancelled?

I especially mention Dollhouse here because last season was somewhat less than stellar and I would say that it’s an understatement that a great many of us were shocked to see it get renewed by the network, even if that renewal was short lived. But Felicia Day guest starred in the only available on DVD last episode of the last seasion, a future-set epilogue to the show in general that could’ve effectively worked as a pilot for it’s own vastly more interesting show.

Climbing into the future. And obscurity.

Supposedly this second season was going to start with a call back featuring Day, who is so much the anti-Eliza Dushku, to that post-apocalyptic impending future that was glimpsed in that last episode, entitled “Epitaph One,” but Joss Whedon decided to hold it until later in the season. I just hope that before Dollhouse gets put away forever that a little more of that future stuff sees the light of (Felicia) Day, to pardon the incredibly poor pun.

Also, Rick Fox will always always always look like a sleazy man, right?
