Joss Whedons "Dollhouse"

[DJD]

You know there is nothing wrong with this show, however there is something seriously wrong with the retards who prefer a reality show over Dollhouse.

needs moar amy acker!

it wasn't a bad episode but I feel this season is lacking something....I want more epitaph one like episodes!

[temple_treefrog]

I thought it was good... Especially the part where Topher got punched after the "memory wipe". Anyone know if Miracle Laurie will be reappearing?

[andrew_f]

Pretty solid episode. I think nearer the end of the season we'll start to see more momentum towards Epitaph One... I hope, anyway.

[Pc_Madness]

Oh noes. :( What was it averaging at the end of season 1? :(

[Rappy Veteran]

not alot better tbh, I think we should just accept each episode as golden :p

[Rappy Veteran]

this is what I'm talking about!

[kaotic]

this is what I'm talking about!

I agree I posted this earlier this morning on my site, she looks great.

[Xero]

mmmm Summer Glau. Always puts a smile on my face. She needs to get more work :( They best give her plenty of attention if its only 1 episode.

[episode]

I didn't even know this was on.

Smallville pulled in higher ratings? Thats laughably bad. Especially since CW doesn't even get to air Smallville everywhere at once since some places carry Smackdown in that slot.

I guess we will forever wonder if they kept the correct show between this and SCC.

Maybe SCC would of been a safe bet this season :(

Dollhouse to end...in a few weeks?

On Monday, Dollhouse news site Dollverse.com sent up a distress flare saying the series was in real danger of being yanked soon, meaning fans could be left hanging without a resolution to the complex multiple lives of Echo and company.

The warning sound like more than just fan hand-wringing. The Los Angeles Times reported that both Dollhouse and freshman Fox comedy Brothers (which the complicated drama is inexplicably paired with on Friday night) ?are struggling and likely will be gone in weeks.? The Hollywood Reporter?s James Hibbard and TV Guide?s Matt Roush have also noted the show?s dismal ratings and possible early demise.

The complex series has been ambitious for sure tackling such heady issues as high-tech human trafficking, brainwashing, genetic manipulation and the very nature of the soul. So you can see why it might be a leap for some people to get on board. Two and a Half Men this ain?t. It?s also been a slow starter, not fully finding its stride until late last season.

So, where does that leave fans? In a fighting mood, of course. In this age of internet activism, series faithful have already started up a ?save this show? campaign online at ActivateDollhouse.com. Fans are being encouraged to stream the show at Hulu.com, buy episodes on iTunes, buy the Season 1 DVD and add banners and icons to their websites.

I wonder if the fans will start sending doll houses to Fox.

[Piggy]

Meh whatever happens happens.

Eliza Dushku was on Late Show with Letterman last night and she's on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight.

Giggity. :p

:( I hope they don't pull Dollhouse :(

[Rappy Veteran]

it hasn't got long I feel.

[Xero]

You know what would really suck. If they canned it before the Summer episode which is likely near the end. However seeing the shots of her on set, I'm guessing they have already shot the episode. I'm hoping they will do the same thing as release the extra episodes on DVD/BluRay. But they better not cancel it. They have nothing to replace it with and they've already invested money in it. They cancelled Terminator for it. At least let it run its course. Canning 2 shows because they are impatient to wait until the Season picks up :(

'Dollhouse': Where did it go wrong?

In case you haven?t noticed, Dollhouse is tanking. It?s second season premiere didn?t perform well in the ratings, and last Friday?s episode did even worse ? Stargate Universe kicked it in the cortex. Dollhouse is in very real danger of being canceled. Why isn?t it doing better? Where did Joss Whedon and company go wrong?

Perhaps that isn?t fair ? the blame can?t be put on Whedon?s shoulders alone. There is Fox?s decision to leave Dollhouse on Friday nights, bereft of any real advertising support ? a programming block of one. If Fox really wanted to give Dollhouse a chance, they?d have paired it with Bones or Fringe, and not after a pair of sitcoms (one of which stars Michael Strahan) that no one is watching. Stargate Universe did well because Syfy Channel has been pushing it relentlessly, hammering it into their audience that something new is coming down the pike.

But the thing you can level at the Dollhouse writers and producers is the middling way the show came out of the gate. Whedon has always been great at ending TV seasons ? Buffy and Angel have tons of memorable season finales, and Dollhouse?s S1 ultimatum was terrific ? but not so great at starting them. Listen, I?m all for Joss taking his time to build his universe and layer his stories with emotional substance topped with an action frosting. But anyone looking objectively at the Dollhouse situation for the season would have to see that the show has its back against the wall. It?s the fourth quarter and Team Dollhouse is down by a whole mess of points ? it?s not the time to do slow burn undercovery episodes. Dollhouse needed to score, early and often, and it didn?t.

Is it too late? I fear that it might be. Whedon and company are telling the stories they want to tell ? and unless those stories suddenly bring the whup-ass in the next couple of weeks, they might not get to tell them for much longer. The saddest part of it is that I desperately want Whedon and Dollhouse to succeed ? I want smart genre content to work on broadcast television, so that networks will continue to take risks on programming that doesn?t have a host. I just hope that it gets the chance.

Where'd it go wrong?

Fox didn't advertise it AT ALL.
