Joss Whedon said a lot of things his fans wanted to hear at Dollhouse's San Diego Comic-Con panel — and at least one thing that had many of the show's faithful viewers biting their nails.
Whedon kicked off the panel by raving that the staff he assembled for the Fox series' freshman run was "the best" first-season staff he has ever worked with. So expect no major changes there.

Joss Whedon, the singular mind who in the past has given us Buffy, Angel, "Captain Tightpants" and Dr. Horrible soon will introduce television viewers to another memorable (if "forgetful" character) — Dollhouse's Echo, played by Eliza Dushku. Echo is an "active," a kind of a robot-hooker hybrid whose native personality and memories have been erased, allowing her to be programmed with the specific skills or characteristics that any "engagement" — or client with a robust checkbook — requires.
As the Feb. 13 series premiere of Fox's Dollhouse nears, Whedon will be dropping by TVGuide.com HQ to answer not just our questions but many of yours. So take a moment, give it some thought and offer up the one thing you would ask Joss — on any topic — after the jump.

Jewel Staite makes her living these days playing Dr. Jennifer Keller on Stargate: Atlantis, but of course many fans fondly remember her older role as Kaylee on Joss Whedon's Firefly. Staite found time to be a guest the past two weekends at the first rounds of the 2008 Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Australia (March 28-30 in Melbourne and April 4-6 in Brisbane; she couldn't make it to the Sydney or Perth events).During a question-and-answer session with fans at her Melbourne appearance, Staite was asked if there's still hope for further adventures with the crew of Serenity. She replied that she thought there was, and that "if they called, I would be there in a heartbeat." In the process of answering this question, she dropped quite a bombshell:"I just heard that they're re-releasing Firefly, a special edition of Firefly in a box set," Staite said.
