Based on the fact that (1) I never liked other Joss Whedon shows, and (2) the reviews are less than stellar, even from fans, I've decided to do the same. I've got too many shows (which I enjoy) being recorded already.

You didn't like 'Firefly'?

Yep, I'll join that too.

I watched part of Serenity with hubby, who loves the movie, and couldn't get into it.

Can't. Never watched either. But you enjoy.

Zathras · **Reply #33 on:** February 16, 2009, 02:49:21 PM

I watched one episode of BTVS and immediately popped in my copy of the movie. Well, after I finished vomiting. I have never actually watched Angel, but I have been exposed to it and other BTVS episodes. I feel the same way about Charmed.

I dont get that at all. I found the movie totally unwatchable in every way, shape and form. The TV show was hilarious,though. I simply cannot fathom prefering the movie over the tv show.. i mentally equate it to preferring getting kicked in the crotch over eating chocolate. Heh.

Maybe its just that I hate luke perry. :p

hey now, Paul Reubens' death scene was a thing of beauty.

I'm kind of a Meh on dollhouse too...It reminded me a lot the 7th Son books, but with hotties instead of clones. All those girls getting nepth charged...oh man.

deflective · **Reply #39 on:** February 18, 2009, 01:05:52 AM

to be fair, there are guys too.

the doll that stormed the house at the end of the episode really should have been male but, hey, this is Whedon. i don't think he's able to write without putting a slight female character in combat.

plus she is one of the regulars, so it makes sense to introduce her on an assignement.

You have a life-sized luke perry cardboard figure in your bedroom, don't you.

Nope, Kristy Swanson and Rutger Hauer.

I suspect they wanted to get the premise established, and then we'll meet other characters, like Sierra there, near the end. Whoah ... is she, like, part alien? From Zeta Reticuli?

Evidently she's got a Tibetan mom, Aussie dad.
(Not that there's anything wrong with being part alien.)

OK, so, I though tonight's episode was pretty rad. in deference to DVR and time zones, no spoilers, but it was a pretty fun one. Some hokey dialogue towards the end, but I choose to forgive it. Some promising plot angles, I thought. Definitely enough to keep me interested for next week.

Who wants to place money on what percentage of the Galactica cast eventually end up on Dollhouse?

Sort of like the now-defunct Bionic Woman?

I just finished watching tonight's Sarah Connor Chronicles; Dollhouse will have to wait for tomorrow night.

"hey baby, tactile proximity enhances the bonding protocol."

the day that this line works is the day i look no further.

The second episode definitely shows a deeper concept than the first. The ratings were already down over the week before, so I think Fox getting in the way of the pilot may have hurt the shows chances of survival.

Eliza is far to skinny in this show. Her eyes are sunken. She really doesn't look healthy enough to handle the shooting schedule of a show like this.

Joss changed the pilot episode, not Fox. The new pilot may have been weaker, but I think it probably made the latest episode stronger. They somewhat avoided the trap of trying to do too much in the first episode.
