Dollhouse

By wiesengrund But with last night's episode, "Rise and Fall," (the first season premiere not written by Whedon, who has apparently decided the leave the series in Cain's hands for it's final run while he preps Dollhouse and works on the Dr. Horrible stuff) the wishes of fans for things to be like the first season were met a little too literally. Be careful what you wish for and all that. The revelation that new government is actually a puppet of the New Sun corporation almost suggests that everything we and the crew have been though has been for naught. And with no Miranda controversy this time, what's gonna happen to topple yet another corrupt government (though this does serve as an interesting socio-political commentary on the dangers a too-powerful exe...   [read the full post]

By wiesengrund Matt Roush: I would certainly take issue with the notion that Joss Whedon doesn't respect the "average" viewer, even if it's true he may be trying to attract those who aren't particularly interested in the ordinary. And it's not his fault that Fox treated Firefly so badly. But where Dollhouse is concerned, qualms are understandable, both on the part of fans who worry that Fox won't let Joss be Joss and on the part of the network and studio that are taking a calculated risk in letting Joss be Joss. The good news is that everyone involved is taking time and making corrections at this stage of the process. Who knows how it will all turn out, but better to put the brakes on now while they can than for things to fall apart once it's on the air. Though I'll admi...   [read the full post]

By Dave and Thomas(noreply@blogger.com) J.J. Abrams has finally let us know a little more about his upcoming TV project, "Fringe."

By Graeme McMillan Despite having a Bionic Woman-like stench of death around it from its first previews, the retooled version of new drama My Own Worst Enemy - in which Christian Slater beats Eliza Dushku's Dollhouse to the multiple personality meme with added spyjuice - is, according to the Hollywood Rep...

By Meredith Woerner You've been hearing all about how Joss Whedon's Dollhouse has gone through multiple revamps before hitting the airwaves, but apparently JJ Abrams' Fringe went through a similar (but more secret) series of reconceptions.

By Fred Dollhouse" Of all of the new shows that will be debuting on the networks this season, "Dollhouse" is clearly my most anticipated new show.

Anyway, I’m not sure where I first heard about Cody McFayden, but I loved Shadow Man. Even though I figured out whodunnit early on, I though the characters (especially Smoky) were engaging and the writing totally hooked me. The story was totally gruesome. The funniest thing is that while cur...

By Tempo Why am I not surprised that the most entertaining moment of the “Dollhouse” Comic-Con panel revolved around “Battlestar Galactica”? Tahmoh Penikett, who stars on Joss Whedon’s new show, “Dollhouse,” alongside Eliza Duskhu, got a few “Battlestar” questions during the session. One of...

R.D.A.: So Eliza’s still a different character every week? Joss: Often several. Joss: The showers are co-ed. [Editor’s note: HOT damn.] Joss: You are a sad, lonely actual man, Actualman.

By wiesengrund And naturally, in a story with three characters, two male and one female, there is a love triangle at work, and as is often the case, the woman in that story becomes more of a prop at play in the interaction between the two men. The real relationship struggle, the real competition is between Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer. The reason Penny has lasting appeal to Captain Hammer is because it’s one more front on which he can assert his superiority over Dr. Horrible - while the scene where Captain Hammer assures Dr. Horrible that he will be having sex with Dr. Horrible’s crush was admittedly hilarious, due mainly to Nathan Fillion’s delivery, it depended entirely upon playing out their battle with one another using a woman’s body as a way of scoring po...   [read the full post]

9:00 PM EST (Tuesday) - "Fringe" Plus, it was created by Joss Whedon (yeah!) and stars Eliza Dushku ("Faith" on "Buffy", "Tru Calling"). Joss has once again assembled a fantastic team of writers - basically, there is no way that this show is not excellent.
