Remember 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog'? Did you love it? Is it still one of your all-time faves? Are you hoping that they'll get around to a sequel before the turn of the next century? Well, the sequel isn't here yet, but the next best thing is: 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Book' from Titan Books.

It's quite simply everything you wanted to know about the creation of this award-winning, Internet-server-melting, genre-twisting musical tragicomedy ... and more.

Like what, you wonder? How about the full shooting script, amazing photos, sheet music of all the songs, glossy pages and real sharp edges.

Exclusively for TV Squad, two of Joss Whedon's collaborators on the musical masterpiece -- Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon -- as well as star Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. H himself!), have shared insights into the book about the film ... but more about the film, really. Read on and prepare to laugh.

TV Squad: How surprised were you by the success of 'Dr. Horrible'?
Jed Whedon: We were floored. We did not anticipate any of this at all. And the 'Dr. Horrible' audience still continues to grow. Three years later there are people who are just discovering it. It won an Emmy? What? For a Web musical we created during a Writer's Guild strike? What? It's all madness.

The Whedonverse is an incestuous place. While Drive is not technically a Whedon show, Tim Minear was brought into the fold long ago and is part of the family. And it is showing as they continue to retool the cast of his latest creation. Amy Acker, formerly Fred on Angel, is the latest addition. She'll be playing the missing wife of Nathan Fillion's (Firefly, Buffy) character, Alex Tully.

There is finally an official start date for the show as well. Drive will premiere on Sunday April 15th before settling in to Mondays at 8 on April 16th. Leading in to 24 is about as good a slot as they could have asked for, and taking over for Prison Break seems to make a lot of sense. Viewership for the two shows should be similar, so hopefully most of those folks will stick around to see what Minear has cooked up.

Sorry, folks. Small, fan-girl breakdown approaching. Oh, hell yes! Nathan Fillion (aka Capt. Mal Reynolds) has been reunited with Firefly scribe Tim Minear to star in Fox's mid-season replacement Drive. Fillion will play Alex Tully, a "charming, rogue landscaper" who is coerced into joining a cross-country race in order to search for his abducted wife. (Alright, if that character description came from anyone other than Minear, I might be more skeptical.) In the original version of the pilot, the role was played by Ivan Sergei.

While he had initially been approached for the role, Fillion had to turn it down due to a scheduling conflict. After the pilot was shot, but before Fox had picked up the show, he was approached for a second time by executive producer Minear. This time he was able to accept, and the Whedonverse rejoiced. Drive debuts in March.

(S01E07) This episode isn't technically out of order, as it really did need to be placed after 'Shindig', where the group obtained the cattle. I have to say, though, that it was after watching this episode that I had to think, "why is it again that this show is so great?" This was one of those episodes that wasn't all that thrilling, perhaps because a bulk of the story happens on the ground.

(S01E02) Not an episode that stands out above the rest, but it has its moments. We're really getting a feel for who these characters are, what quirks they each have and who likes/dislikes whom. This episode also deals a lot with the Reavers, what they are (or actually, what they are not) and what they're capable of.

We're gradually being introduced to these mysterious Reavers, and in coming episodes we start to gain some understanding as to who or what these creatures are. Heck, even Jayne is afraid to death of these things, and the stories Mal tells seem to sound worse with every coming episode.
