Dollhouse – One more thing
Ok, I promise that this will be my last comment on this until the end of the first season when no doubt I’ll do a round up. However I just read an interesting piece by Anna Pickard, over at The Guardian. The bit I like most is this quote talking about Joss Whedon,
He’s got a huge fan base, a track record that includes both the popular and the critically acclaimed, and is hailed by many as a god of all things pop-cultural. And yet every time he comes up with some- thing new, people (particularly TV critics) can’t wait to call it a failure.
Read the rest of the article if you’re interested.
I for one am enjoying the show as I like that it is shiny and over produced while being creepy and morally hard to get a handle on. I honestly don’t think the acting is that bad and after only 3 episodes (I seem to remember it took Buffy more than 3 episodes to get into it’s groove) I think it’s got a lot of life in it. But then if you were going to like this show, you’ll like it. It isn’t for everyone, nothing is. But it would be sad to see it pulled off air before it had a chance to really do it’s thing, aka Firefly.
Bring on Friday for episode 4!

I still maintain it’s an average show missing everything interesting about a Whedon show and replacing it with nothing else interesting. I haven’t watched the third episode yet but it’s on notice. Buffy did take a while to get good but the elements (snappy dialogue, cool fights etc) of what made it a good show where there – what are the elements that will make Dollhouse good?
