Thread: Joss Whedon's New Show: Dollhouse

I still say if they moved Fringe to Friday's at 8pm, Dollhouse at 9pm it would do a lot better. The Sarah Connor Chronicals was on before Dollhouse and it didnt help...

It gives an idea of where the show is headed giving the most of the episodes more of a focus.

Dazzy didn't say it was like Quantum Leap, he said it reminded him of a Quantum leap style series, and I would agree - it's like an inside-out Quantum Leap, with the same vessel each week being inhabited by a different person (Quantum Leap was a different vessel each week being inhabited by the same person), so it's not much of a stretch to see the comparison

In Dollhouse, the reason the first few episodes just didnt work for many is becuase Echo is someone different every week and when shes not on an assigmentr she has no personality what so ever,...

Yep, the 13th ep was the best by a long, long way. Should have ran with that idea, far more interesting than what we've got.

Just watched the first episode of Season 2 an it felt incredibly disjointed. I hope thy was Whedon's plan. If not this could be over before it is given a second chance to kick into gear.

Yeah decent ending i thought with some nice surprises. Hope it gets picked up for a second series, because i would trust Whedon to add some really nice story arcs in there. Last edited by Marmite : 14-05-2009 at 12:01 PM .

Never thought about it that way Mr Holliss, might try this out when the blu ray comes out then........ I jus assumed the americans knew what was good viewing when it came...

It was a great idea, but from the clip I didnt see much to get excited about. Lets not forget the criminal canning of Angel for some other vampire show they were going to make but that was canned to, so all for naught! stupid tv peepl
