From Maureen Ryan:
When Tahmoh Penikett ("Battlestar Galactica") arrived on the set of Fox’s
"Dollhouse" to play FBI agent Paul Ballard, he quickly learned a lesson: Don't
improvise with creator Joss Whedon's words.
“He’s so good that he knows exactly how the line needs to be delivered. And you
really have to deliver it the way he wrote it,” said Penikett over coffee in a
Chicago hotel recently. “It just doesn’t work [otherwise]. ... The joke doesn’t
work, the humor doesn’t work, the whole thing just falls apart.
“I tried,” he said with a laugh, “and I ended up falling flat on my face a
couple times.”

Ballard's not the only one putting his life on the line. In this week’s
excellent episode, “Dollhouse” operative Echo (Eliza Dushku) finds herself in
danger in an action-packed hour full of twists and turns.

So we live in hope that there will be humor and unsuckage.
