Dollhouse

He's dead, I believe.

 

Good episode; but not really all that much better than some earlier episodes.

 

At least they finally pushed the plot forward and I think they did a pretty good job showing the moral ambiguity of dollhouse from the perspective of the rich dude who lost his wife and all the people in the news clips. All the fighting seemed weird though, are they all masters of weird asian martial arts now?

I didn't watch it because I was assuming that'd be the case. I guess my attention span for the show has evaporated. Maybe I'll buy the DVD set to catch up later.

You guys are a bunch of pushovers, Whedon needs you!

 

This episode was head and shoulders over any of the other episodes. Please watch this one and if you still don't like it, THEN give up.

 

EDIT: It's up on Hulu as well for all you Americans.

I just have a short attention span for weekly TV. And commercials. I wouldn't have even gotten into CSI:Vegas if they hadn't released the first 4 seasons on DVD for me to see all at once. :D

The show certainly seems to get better every week.

I jaw saw the 6th episode and it really was a cut above the previous ones. However, I still don't know how Dollhouse can survive Dushku. She really is godawful.

Well this episode was... weird, one might almost say crazy.

 

The Topher/Adelle stuff was hilarious, but it got pretty ridiculous when everyone was on drugs. While Echo was super-cute in that outfit, she was exactly the same as Caroline in the flashbacks, the only thing she does well is the child-like state. Speaking of the flashbacks, I found them confusing and pretty boring. Victor and Sierra were awesome as usual and the new black soon-to-be-doll seemed pretty cool as well.

 

The preview for next week looks really interesting.

I totally agree, what the hell was Whedon thinking? "She was made for that role" yeah like a square peg was made for a round hole...

Dichen Lachman(Sierra) would be a way better lead for the show

She was made for the role in the sense that it's her project, I guess. She was the one who pushed for its production, I think.

Apparently she and Whedon had a 4h lunch where he pitched his idea and they figured out the Dollhouse stuff. It was mostly Whedon's idea, but she helped a little. Maybe she could play a normal character, but the new character every week stuff is obviously too much for her and it shows.

The only character she is able to play is the sultry, evil dumbass, and even that she isn't particularly good at. Soul Survivors and that horrid Tru Calling thing scarred me for life.

 

It's really annoying too, because the casting of Dollhouse is generally spot on. As you mentioned, the chick who plays Sierra isn't bad, at all.

Best episode is yet.

 

And, DUshku is getting a bad rap here. She's doing a pretty darn good job.

 

She might be doing a good job, but her good isn't enough. All her characters feel the same, the flashback Caroline was exactly as stocking-girl in this episode. It is truly a shame when your secondary characters(Victor, Sierra) out-act the star so much that it shows. Eliza is either a clueless child or an evil bitch.

Blame the writers. And, no, not all her characters feel the same. The two in this episode did; but that wa slikely intentional because of the overlapping memories.

 

And, Sierra's actress is being way over rated by the so called 'pundits'. Mellie, on the other hand, is awesome. Victor is solid outside of his 'russian mobster' personality as he was just a stereotype.

 

The nerd guy, and Echo's handler are doing the best jobs.

I saw the first episode and I am not watching this crap again. Its hard to put your finger exactly on whats wrong, it just has that Joss Wheedon vibe of cheese. Its also quite boring.

The first 5 episodes are pretty much crap, after that it picks up quite a bit. It could still be better though...

If this does well, will the chance of a new season of Firefly improve?

 

No
