Okay, people. What the hell have you been doing with your Friday nights? Actually, I don't care. What you should be doing is watching Dollhouse. What you should do then is go out and buy a copy of Dollhouse on DVD. As a matter of fact, you should head to your local retailer now. Don't wait. Just go. Right the hell now! There is also the online shopping option. Go there and get two copies!
Not sure what Dollhouse is? Well, have you bought your copy yet? Dollhouse started back in February 2009, and I admit that I didn't have much hope for it. I am a hard core Joss Whedon fan but I have been kicked in the gut a few too many times to rush out and watch an awesome show just to have it canceled and yanked before its time.
So, this time, I waited. I heard a few bad things, and waited some more before checking it out. Finally, I couldn't take it any more and decided that I needed to watch it. The first few episodes were okay and I always give a pass to shows in their first season. Then, all of a sudden, BANG. About five or six episodes in, WHAM. The story kicks in, the feet are more solid on the ground and I was rockin' this show like there was no tomorrow.
Don't let this show become another Firefly. Let's show these television executive types that we like to watch this show. Don't let this happen to this show!
This show is good and I don't watch that other bullshit known as "reality television". So, don't cancel something of quality and replace it with garbage.
Shane Birley is a blogger, huge geeky nerd, web developer, poet, and creative writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Well said. The first 5 eps
Well said. The first 5 eps of last season were "mission-of-the-week" stuff and from my understanding that was mandated by Fox executives. It wasn't until Ep 6 that Joss was given the freedom to start telling the story he wanted to tell. It showed. The latter part of the season really started to pick up story-wise.
Unfortunately, for some reason, they seem to have kicked off this season with a couple more "mission-of-the-week" episodes instead of carrying over the momentum they had built up at the end of season 1. Having said that, I read an interview with Jed Whedon (one of the writers) and he promised that they were going to start exploring more of the story ARC in coming episodes.
We will see a lot more development of the secondary characters and will delve more into what the Dollhouse really is about. I am looking forward to it. So, please, do as Shane says. Watch this show! I don't want to have things just start get interesting and it have the rug pulled out from it.
If you are too busy on Friday night to sit down and watch then DVR it. If that doesn't work for you, it is available on iTunes. The GlobalTV website also has it. Finally, if you have access, it is up on Hulu. There is no excuse! Watch this excellent show already! (You'll be glad you did.) :)
As an aside, I am saddened that Amy Acker (Dr. Saunders/Whiskey) is only in 3 episodes this season. But hey, Summer Glau is joining the cast so that is not all bad.
I've been watching Dollhouse
I've been watching Dollhouse from start to (soon) finish.
It's been a strange ride. Sometimes silly slow, sometimes stupid fast, sometimes fun, sometimes scary. "Varied" or "uneven" depending on your mood. :-)
I thought for a long time that it would survive, mostly because Nathan Fillion hadn't appeared in the show http://www.jankarlsbjerg.com/blog/archives/2007/04/It26/nathan-fillion-g...
