I like Terminator and BSG and likely set DVR for em. Usually don't watch shows on Friday as it's my poker night.

Yes.

 

I enjoyed Firefly and the follow up movie Serenity. The Buffy stuff is crap, but I'm willing to give Joss Whedon another shot.

 

More Eliza Dushku = more gooder. That last series she was on Tru Calling was watchable. Not great, but watchable.

Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it.

Chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear. When and I do...it's usually something unusual.

This show did not have any of the sly humor or witty banter of Whedon's previous shows, but the premise seems solid and the drama was enough to bring me back next week to see where they take the storyline. :thumbsdown:

Tonight's episode is supposed to be "the real Dollhouse" and vastly improved...

 

http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/2...llen_Gray_.html

 

JOSS WHEDON would like to welcome you to "Dollhouse."

 

Maybe you came in and had a look around when the show first premiered on Fox in mid-February.

 

Maybe you didn't. The show's first five weeks have averaged some 4.2 million viewers, which suggests room for improvement, if not grounds for dismissal.

 

But it's the next couple of episodes, starting with tonight's "Man on the Street," that the guy who gave us "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" thinks finally demonstrate where his new show is meant to go.

 

Obviously, he's hoping you'll want to go there, too.

 

"All of that brewing that we'd done became soup in that episode," Whedon told reporters in a conference call yesterday. "A lot of tumblers fell into place."

 

If this were "Buffy," someone other than me - probably the speaker himself - would be pointing out the hopeless mix of metaphors. But "Dollhouse" is not "Buffy," or "Angel" or even "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," to name just three of the projects for which Whedon is rightly revered.

 

Yep, you'll find a bit more humor in this week's "Dollhouse" - particularly in some of those man-on-the-street interviews - "but the fact of the matter is, this is not a comedy," Whedon said. "If there is a typical Whedon show, this is not [it]. It's not the light-hearted romp that the other shows were."

 

Do tell.

 

Eliza Dushku, for those who haven't heard, plays a woman whose memory has been erased, as have the memories of a number of other attractive people with whom she lives in a spalike facility - the Dollhouse - somewhere in Los Angeles. Periodically, each is imprinted with a new personality and leased out to clients with very specific needs.

 

That the most plausible of those needs happens to be sex was a stumbling block for Fox executives early on, and continues to be for some viewers.

 

"Some people at the network definitely said, 'Well, wait a minute. This idea we've bought is illegal. And racy. And makes us uncomfortable,' " Whedon said.

 

For his part, "I thought of [Dushku's character, Echo] as a sort of life coach . . . the sort of person you absolutely need in your life at a certain moment."

 

Responding to a comment about a scene some found particularly unbelievable, in which Echo's hired to deliver a baby, he said, "I still have no problem with the idea that someone very rich and very far off in the mountains would hire the perfect midwife . . . because you don't want a stinker."

 

This may be a point on which some of us are simply going to have to agree to disagree.

 

Whedon's right, though, about the next two episodes, which do indeed indicate a series that, however late, is finding its feet, and more importantly, its heart.

 

And it's heart, even more than witty banter and pop-culture references, that his fiercest fans have come to expect from Whedon. If "Dollhouse" stands a chance, it'll be because viewers are given a reason to care about people whose personalities aren't their own.

 

"The emotion of the thing is really why we're there," he said. "It's the only thing that really interests us. If we have to figure out a caper, that's work. but if we have to figure out a way that one of them is in pain, that's fun."

Rumors say it's getting canceled

 

I would be more shocked if it continued on for a second season... Plus with the battle between not showing the 13th episode by Fox will also cause problems...
