Dollhouse, fini
So, it’s over. Some thoughts: * During the fall hiatus, Lisa and I rented the last disc from the first season and watched the original pilot and Epitaph One. We both loved the OP and agreed that that Dollhouse would … Continue reading

Dollhouse season two
Two episodes in, I’m really not enjoying it. Lisa says, “It’s like they painted themselves into a Stupid Corner.” Thoughts: * Ballard’s character has become totally unbelievable to me. I don’t know what his motivation is supposed to be anymore. … Continue reading

Dollhouse shocker: Joss Whedon says FOX execs were nervous about that whole “prostitute” thing
Probably my biggest complaint about first season Dollhouse was that the creators of the show seemed to be so uncomfortable with their own premise that they spent more time avoiding implications than exploring them—leading me, as a viewer, to constantly … Continue reading

Dollhouse, weeks 11 & 12

Dollhouse, week 10
An OK episode. Thoughts: * The idea of using Dollhouse technology to copy whole personalities into other bodies is potentially very interesting. Not only can you use it to grant a pseudo-eternal life (pseudo because a copy of me over … Continue reading

Dollhouse, week 9
At last, the Dollhouse I’d been hoping for: complex story structure, actual character development, interesting and unselfconscious exploration of the basic premise, and moral conflict without the moralizing. It’s like a whole different series, which I’m OK with. First thing … Continue reading

Dollhouse, week 7
Thoughts on this week’s episode: * Topher’s “drawer of inappropriate starches” is a keeper, but otherwise I thought it was awfully early in the series to be doing the Everybody Must Get Stoned episode. I still don’t have a very strong … Continue reading
