Get a Dollhouse sneek peek!!

Ok.. I posted the trailer before I watched it. All I gotta say after watching it is..
THAT WAS TOTAL CRAP!!!!!
My god that was pathetic! Just HORRIBLE! Now I really understand why Fox relegated it to Friday night if that's an indication of the quality of the show. I've seen the handler guy in many shows and he's good and si good enough here but the other guy who did the mind wipe was HORRID. That was insanely bad acting. After that clip I can see why fox has no faith in the show if that's what it will be like.

I'm not going to make a judgment call on the quality of the show yet just based on a short clip, but I agree that that was pretty bad acting and dialogue.
I had zero problems with her acting. It' the guy who wiped her min that was so god-awful.
I for one didn't have an issue with the clip.
I look forward to the show.
Sadly its partnered with sinking ship SS:TSCC on Friday night.

Yeah, the "young, hip nerd" is really awful in that clip. It's pretty obvious that he was having trouble remembering his lines (doing the classic bit of faultering and trying to not-laugh it off as he struggled to remember).
Doesn't help that I hate that type of character to begin with.
My problem is that... I didn't learn squat about what the show is going to be about. All I saw was some creepy nerd and some creepy not-government-but-acting-goverment goon talking about wiping someone's memory and storing it on a harddrive. What is it? A harem of robot girls or something?

The thing that struck me was that it didn't feel like Whedonesque dialogue. Buffy, Angel, Firefly, take any clips from them and you can hear in the dialogue his style, but there was none of that here.
That said, it's a bit quick to condemn a show based on two minutes from the first episode. Still looking forward to it.

This is the Internet. You must form an opinion on a TV show/movie/etc based on least amount of information as possible regardless of final product.
Just judging the clip, I found it pretty neutral. Didn't excite me or turn me away. But that's about how I've felt every time I've read or seen something about this show, so color me less than enthused. I'm only going to start watching it because it's Joss Whedon's next show, but so far, I'm not very encouraged. Still, you never know. Now that I think about, I ignored Firefly when it aired because I found the trailers uninteresting. When a friend convinced me to blind-buy the DVDs a year or so later, I was stunned at how good it was.
Oh come off it.
You really think that they can shoot a scene in a high budget TV show with somebody winging it like that and nobody notice AND they let it go to the final version? That's ridiculous.
Whedon has been known to let ad libs stay, or different interpretations of lines stay.
And yes, that guy sucks. In fact, his character's personallity sucks. That's a double whammy!

Another clip coming across like Adventures of RoboHo. I don't I'm being unduly cynical in thinking regular prostitution has gotta be easier. At least the head pimp wouldn't have to listen to Dweeb call him "Man-Friend." Which struck me as ostentatiously Whedonesque, in the unpleasant sense.
The set looks very reminiscent of Wolfram & Hart's headquarters from Angel season 5. That's a good thing. But, I agree, the young geeky hipster was treading water in that clip. I'm looking forward to the handful of episodes that will be aired, plus the remainder on any DVD box set down the road.
