Dollhouse reconsidered

Posted 11 months ago at 12:34. 0 comments

Dollhouse logoSince I’m currently on vacation, I only caught Felicia Day’s tweet about her upcoming Dollhouse episode, and the implied cancellation of the series, tangentially. I found myself oddly upset, and had to rush to confirm the truth. Synopsis: it’s not canceled…yet.

I guess that means (and contrary to previous indications) that I like the show. In my post-BSG doldrums, I need something to latch on to, and it might as well be this. The upside is there, if it chooses to assert its presence.

I will admit, I do get a certain guilty pleasure out of pretending that Harry Lennix is actually Barack Obama, kicking ass in primetime to protect Echo.

We will say nothing of the guilty pleasure that is Dichen Lachman.

The Whedonite’s Dilemma

Damn you, Tycho, for being right.

I understand that to survive past 4 or 5 episodes, new shows on Fox need to be front-loaded with sex and violence, but in its current form, Dollhouse is not a particularly enjoyable show.

I’m waiting for Once More, With Feeling, but all I’m getting so far is War Stories.

7 Years of Buffy in Under 4 Minutes

Needless to say, I think it’s awesome. I can’t believe how many times I caught myself thinking “oh, i can’t wait until they show *that*” while watching it.

These…are not the hammer

OK, so I’m a fanboy, but go check out Joss’ latest project, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, anyway. Episodes I and II are online already, with the final episode scheduled for Saturday.

Neil Patrick Harris steals the show so far, but Nathan Fillion never fails to entertain, going from comically over-archetypal superhero to penis…erm, dick at the drop of a hat. Does Nathan remind anyone else of a young Elvis, or is it just me and my man-crush?

Buffy S:8 Issue #11Taken from:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #11 A Beautiful Sunset

Buffy: No, the Willow thing is…it’s complicated.
Xander: It’s always complicated with girls. That’s why I need a man.
Buffy: That would be nice…
Xander: I mean a guy. Not a man, a guy, for the guy bonding.
Buffy: Well, Andrew…
Xander: Do you really intend to finish that sentence?
Buffy: No, it’s a nice length now. Any other pressing items?

After all these years, do you not instinctively fear me?

So I’m a little behind on my TV watching, and I should probably know better than to get my hopes up for anything any more, but Veronica Mars has been cancelled. I’m guessing they didn’t see it coming either, because the series finale was awful. Sigh.

It took me a while to warm to the new Battlestar Galactica, but I’m fully onboard now. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the last few episodes have played like a who’s who of sci-fi.

While at brunch on Sunday — Mmmm…Stoneface Dolly’sKev was talking about the Chronic(what)les of Narnia skit from SNL. What he failed to mention is that it has doper beats and tighter lyrics than most legit rap songs I’ve heard recently. Also, it’s hilarious, although perhaps not as funny as me trying to say “doper beats” with a straight face.
