If the average TV fan were to pass Felicia Day on the street, most wouldn’t recognize the woman who has been crowned the queen of the internet. Thanks to her award-winning web series, The Guild, and a starring role in Joss Whedon’s web musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Day’s share price has been rising within new media circles. The same, however, cannot be said of success when it comes to traditional media, despite national commercials and a role in perhaps the two best episodes of Fox’s critically acclaimed Dollhouse.

EDIT: Oops, never mind, the Dr. Horrible thing was just speculative, but they really ought to have SAID that instead of pretending like it was some sort of spoiler. Bad internet journalism, bad! *hits with a datapad*

haha I thought the same thing, but I read the whole article before flipping out :-P

I've really wondered whether or not she'll be back for Dr. Horrible round 2. Just wouldn't be the same without her.

Wait a sec..... Felecia Day is a lesbian?

Huh.

Summer Glau can simply walk into Mordor

Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

Dang.

Not 'dang', as in - " dang , she's a lesbian" , but 'dang', as in " dang- I watched the season finale" 2x's ( well, once and then again w/ the commentary ) and still missed that detail.

If you still haven't seen the series finale, that is, the season two finale, then you didn't miss it. That's when it was revealed.

?

I thought, initially, that Felicia was only in 1 episode, and didn't' realize she was in a second one.
I've not seen Epitaph Two - The Return.

Well yeah, I GOT THAT, now. But as I was watching the commentary version of the season 1 finale, they mentioned they didn't know if it was going to be season 1 finale' or the finale' for the series.

Usually not a redhead person myself (one in a relationship is enough!), I would definitely take Felicia on.

I also missed the reference to Mag being gay the first time I watched the show. But then Dollhouse was my first bit of exposure to the world of Joss and Scifi so I was a bit overwhelmed lol

When I met Felicia Day at Comic-con she seemed very nice.

I think I'm the only "geek" the doesn't like her.

Maybe it's because she's a red head, not that pretty, or doesn't act well (Dr. Horrible's sing a long crap) I just don't like her. I find her very annoying.

I think her performance in The Guild has some nuances. She's still kind of a sweet well-meaning character, but she also brings a lot of comedic neurosis. She plays an anxiety-riddled shut-in pretty well, and for laughs.

The thing is, you can't look at one fifteen-minute appearance in Buffy, a three fifteen minute internet series, and another two minor character appearances in Dollhouse and get a good sense of the range of an actor.

*Cough* *Hides fourteen episodes of Firefly*

I'm also curious about your not liking Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Did you find it silly that Penny was a flat character but Billy had this big crush on her, which then makes the rest of the story silly? Especially when Nathan Fillion's character also goes after her just to needle Billy?

>_> Because that was kind of the point... She's supposed to be an ordinary girl, not much outstanding about her. Dr. Horrible is shown to be as bad as Captain Hammer in his way, and the two morons dragging her into their fight is what got her killed.

Well, anyway, you don't have to talk about it either. I was just curious, taking a guess. Maybe it's something else that bugged you.

Well 1) I don't like Neil Patrick Harris 2) I don't like Felicia Day 3) I just thought the overall idea of it was stupid.

I told my friend to turn it off because I was cringing the entire time. I'm not a "humorous" person per say...that is why I hate the Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, etc.
