to leave them, and realize that you'll have no

For some time now I have been watching Joss Whedon's
Dollhouse from the point of view of feminism. Based
on his previous work, in which he created Buffy the
ampire Slayer (one of the best feminist heroines ever)
and in Firefly Zoe, Kaylee and above all Inara, I
would suggest that Joss Whedon
After mentioning A Love Supreme there was another song reference too
but I can't remember what it was . It was as if they were going go on a
riff of song titles. Then there was the line saying I feel like an old
person at Blockbuster which was subtle and funny. I actually backed up
to see
In season one of Dollhouse, Joss Whedon (creator of the
series) wrote only two of the episodes -- #1 - Ghost,
and #6 - Man on the Street. True-blue fans (of which I
am one) tend to think that they were the two best of that
season. In season two, Joss wrote episode #1 - Vows, but
has remained
IMO, the second episode last night was the best episode of the series so
far. Too bad it took so long for the series to find its stride. The
brilliant casting of Summer Glau as a unique character (does she ever
NOT play a unique character) and the ensuing story based around her
brought the
Not that the cancellation is any surprise, but the
least that the Hollywood Reporter could have done
was to get the plot right in the last sentence. While
Eliza Dushku could possibly have had something
altered, I don't think it was her DNA. :-)
Joss Whedon's 'Dollhouse' canceled
Sci-fi series
There is no indication of Dushku being a diva but the show would make
people think she is especially the title sequence. Problem one.
The concept was probably a bad one in the first place and difficult to
rescue. Problem two.
Shows on broadcast TV are so constrained that a show with this
Dollhouse season one released yesterday on DVD and Blu-Ray. I rented
disk four of the DVD as the rental place didn't get the Blu-Ray. Disk
four has the un-aired Epitaph episode and the original un-aired pilot.
Epitaph was intended to be a wrap up of the series if it didn't get
renewed. Or

It's this kind of edge that makes AMC's Breaking Bad probably the
best show on TV right

Segue to the real meat of the episode, which centers
around Agent Ballard's plans to break in to the Dollhouse

ten previous episodes that have established beyond a

The latest episode of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse opens
with Echo reading aloud from an illustrated children's
book to a young girl, maybe 12. The book is Sleeping
Beauty, and Echo reads the story of how the handsome
prince finally comes to rescue Briar Rose, awakens her
with a kiss, and then exits
So why are you putting up a summary of the episode? People are either
going to watch or not watch it. Right now a lot people are not
watching. My opinion is it opened up a little weak. The latter half of
the episode was much better. Looks like Joss wants to bring in more
Firefly people
I started watching this one without knowing who
wrote it, but I knew within the first minute.
It was a no-brainer. Echo is imprinted and awakens
from the imprinting process to be greeted not by
her handler, as is usual, but by Adelle, the head
of the Dollhouse. What is even more surprising is
This episode bored me so much that I stopped watching in after the
second commercial break. It was like an episode of Murder She Wrote.
Eliza's role was beyond her acting range and she didn't pull it off. I
may return to watch more of it to see it gets any better. Instead I
watched the

OK, this is the first episode that's lived up to my
expectations for this series. Not coincidentally,
it's the first episode since the pilot actually

I just got around to watching the episode last night. Friday night is
