I've been watching this!
I find it really strange following a protagonist that is a different person every episode. It's like there isn't one. But I thought the relationship between her and her handler that they explored this week was really interesting. I think it could benefit with more focus on the characters who aren't dolls, or on Eliza before she was wiped, just to give the audience something to connect to. Not knowing your heroine is kind of a strange feeling.

the second episode is a lot better than the first... but who knows if the show will succeed or not.

From what I've heard, Joss has a deal with whoever is in charge of this at Fox, and it's been agreed that the 13 episodes ordered will all be aired, regardless of whether or not they decide to pick up another season. So, in that sense at least, it won't be another Firefly, and we'll at least get a good send-off.

My cynical prediction is that T:SCC and DollHouse are probably both gonna get axed in May/June when they finish up their seasons, leaving the friday slot for another fledgling show to fail in. Yay Fox!

what's T:SCC?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

It got moved to fridays this month, so it and Dollhouse are back-to-back. It's ratings are getting pretty bad lately, there's not much hope it'll be back for a 3rd season.

Honestly, making a TV show out of those movies seemed a little silly to me anyway.

I haven't seen the show though, so for all I know it could be awesome.

I haven't seen the movies, I just started watching the show because I like Summer Glau.
My opinion of it always seems to be the opposite of everyone else's though, so I'm not sure I'm qualified to tell you if it's good or not. Whenever I dig an episode, all the other fans say it sucks, and the things I didn't like about the first season is what all the critics seem to say they should bring back. :freak:

Hey, last night's episode was surprisingly good. I wasn't sure about the premise, but the execution was great, I thought. HOORAY.

i thought it was okay, not great. the rayna character just didn't work for me. like, i understood what her motivations were supposed to be, but i still didn't buy them.

Yeah, the main plot was the weakest part of the episode. But I thought all the stuff at the Dollhouse was gold.

Wait, the Russian guy was a doll? How did I miss that?

I still don't get it at all.

Shortly after the scene where Russian guy talks to Paul, FBI guy, we see Russian guy wake up in the Dollhouse memory-wiping chair... as an active!

Sadly, I already knew he was an active, because before they decided to make this an episodes 3 reveal, they put out some promo pics (and a commercial) where he was an active. Alas.

Huh, I must not have been looking at the screen because I totally missed that part.

I really enjoyed this week's. Now that we're getting to know the characters, it's getting really interesting and exciting. Also, I didn't know Eliza could sing like that! Damn!
