Get a Dollhouse sneek peek!!

Sadly its partnered with sinking ship SS:TSCC on Friday night.

From that clip and everything else that I've read about advance viewings... I feel worse for TSCC being thrown THIS as the life preserver!

Well, it's not like I ever had high expectations for this show. I'm afraid that all of the tics I find so annoying in Whedon is becoming apparent. Wanting to write a prostitute character but not having the guts to just have her, you know, be a frakkin' prostitute! Without having to muck it up because, I dunno, he feels "guilty" about it or something. Same crap as with Inara in Firefly. It's just kind of sad and creepy. Either Whedon needs therapy or a moratorium on writing characters who are even just metaphorical prostitutes.

If wasserface is "having so much fun," what exactly is wrong with her keeping her memories? Hey, she has a fun job and she's not a hooker, not really, maybe more like a top-flight geisha who isn't really expected to have sex with the client because yknow, that's kind of low-class and all. Adding abilities and memories, that I can see, but why lose the old ones? Wouldn't they be useful, come in handy in unexpected situations? You could end up with one very intelligent, versatile, fascinating geisha - and that's a profession I could definitely see being in high demand simply as a companion for hire, and nothing to do with prostitution. Sex is easy to get, interesting people, now that's the challenge.

And nerd-boy is seriously, infuriatingly, show-killingly A N N O Y I N G. Or it could be Whedon's attention-begging dialogue, which I have never liked nearly as much as some. Can someone wipe that guy's memories, personality and most importantly, vocal chords in the first episode?

The one thing I like so far is that it seems to have a nice style - visually and musically - so it wouldn't be painful to sit through several episodes, enough so that I can give it a good chance before inevitably bailing on it. Better than Fringe, which is so turgidly made that I could barely tolerate the premiere.

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).

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.

Just because it's a big corporation with lots of money, you think they can't make atrocious, dumbass mistakes? You must have never worked for a big corporation with lots of money.

I'm in wait-and-see mode. While I don't worship at the shrine Whedon, neither have I ever been disappointed in his shows. He's famous for taking bizarre-sounding premises and making them entertaining to a large audience. I'm interested to see what will come of this new one.

The premise isn't what worries me. It's the potential for horrendous acting. A major character THAT bad would REALLY take down the show a ton. Maybe the writing an other actors can overcome it but who knows. I mean, I've stuck with Heroes this long and there isn't a single decent actor on that show.

Actually I take that back HRG and Claire's real mom are good actors and it looks like they might have killed off her mom.
