Dollhouse, Small Mercies, Virtuality

Posted on 26. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

Hello Dollhouse, we'd happily take the Friday slot off yer hands..

Ronald D. Moore’s Virtuality airs on FOX tonight. It has been described as ‘ambitious, complicated and thought-provoking’. Sound familiar?

Unlike  Dollhouse, the relevance..the human consequence, is engrained into the DNA of the first episode.

Unlike Dollhouse, the series has been cut short and will be a mere memory after the 2-hour Pilot.

Dollhouse Back In The House From September 18

Posted on 15. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

guess who's back to glitch ya!?

After renewing Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse for a second season, Fox have announced that the new season will begin on September 18, as reported by Variety:

The Thursday drama duo “Bones” and “Fringe” return the following night, on Sept. 17, while Friday’s sked (comedies “Brothers” and “Til Death,” and returning drama “Dollhouse”) are back on Sept. 18.

As mentioned last month, the Friday slot will give the show no-let up in challenges. If last season was labelled the “death-slot”, this season could be a kind of purgatory. Still, better that than the alternatives, right? (genuine question right there).

Joss Whedon Becomes the Dollhouse

Posted on 13. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

finding his way?

In an exclusive interview with EW, Joss Whedon says that he and his writers “understand the show” a lot better now and that they are all raring to go for season 2. The proof will be in the pudding, of course, but hopefully they will be able to get under the skin of their own show. Continue reading below, may contain some mild spoilers:

Joss Whedon is two weeks into breaking stories for Dollhouse’s second season, and we’re happy to report that he sounds like a happy man even without that season 1 budget. Whedon wrapped his top-secret horror film The Cabin in the Woods on May 29 and hit the Dollhouse writers’ room on June 1. “I just wanted to die of tiredness,” he tells EW.com exclusively. “About two hours after starting to talk to the writers about story, I was back with such a vengeance, and so energized and so pumped because we really understand the show now. We understand what works, and what didn’t work so well or what we weren’t so thrilled about. We don’t have the onus of trying to be a big hit sitting on our shoulders. We can just be ourselves. And so the stories we’re breaking are pure, and exciting, and everybody’s on-board in the room, and it’s never flowed better.”

Dollhouse Set to Stretch Comic Con

Posted on 12. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

According to reports, Dollhouse will have a super-sized 2 hour panel at next month’s San Diego Comic Con. The reason? So that Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku can answer questions from fans, and so the entire ‘missing’ season 1 episode “Epitaph One” can be screened. The Watcher has more:

I can confirm three things: There will be a “Dollhouse” panel at Comic-Con, “Epitaph One” will be screened and the entire “Dollhouse” session will be two hours long.

The supersized session will take place Friday, July 24, in Ballroom 20, according to Twentieth Century Fox Television. Dushku and Whedon will be serving up “a no-holds-barred Q and A about what they have planned for Season 2″ after the screening of “Epitaph One.” (Whedon and Dushku are the only “Dollhouse” folks participating in this panel, by the way.

Dollhouse Reaps What It Sows

Posted on 12. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

News of a change of creative direction for Dollhouse, as Reaper creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters join the series:

“Fazekas and Butters are in D-house and they’re awesome.” I checked with 20th Century Fox and confirmed that Tancharoen was not just hinting that the duo had stopped by for a scone at the Dollhouse writing office, and that they have indeed joined the series.

Fazekas and Butters recently signed an exclusive deal with 20th Century Fox – the same studio that produces Dollhouse. While that deal involves developing new projects, it’s not unusual for writer/producers to first take a job at a pre-existing series when they sign new deals of this sort. Similarly, Bryan Fuller returned to Heroes when he signed his recent deal with NBC Universal, though he also will be working on new projects too.

I discovered that Fazekas and Butters have taken the slots vacated by Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain. Craft and Fain, another writing duo, left Dollhouse at the end of Season 1 to join Lie to Me, where they will be reunited with new showrunner Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield. Craft and Fain worked on The Shield after their stint on Whedon’s Angel.

1.08 “Needs” Review - The Good & The Bad [Catch-Up]

Posted on 07. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

I’ve finally managed to watch this episode - here are my thoughts on the good and the bad of 1.08 “Needs”.

THE GOOD

• The underlying theme of this episode served as a fantastic exploration into humanity and what motivates us, doll-state or otherwise. In particular the idea of ‘freedom’ was turned on its head - typically freedom is universally accepted as representing the same for everyone - freewill, choice and the ability to suffer the consequences of one’s own actions. However, we got to see that freedom varies from person to person. For some individuals, like Echo/Caroline (referred to as “Echoline” from here on), liberation may be seen as reacquiring memory and making their own choices, but there are also those like Mellie, who seemingly signed up to the programme to forget, to remove the pain, guilt and any number of other negative memories associated with her dead child. This concept took me by surprise in how powerful it was, particularly when Adelle told Echoline: “you’re free to leave - who are you to decide for the others?”. This was a stunningly good question, who IS Echoline to force her own perception of ‘freedom’ onto others? Some of whom are too broken to face the realities of the real world. In some ways this reduces the immoral distance between Echoline and the Dollhouse - who are by no means cleared of all wrong-doings, but there is no doubt that their service is beneficial for some of its actives. Whether it’s right or wrong is another matter entirely - but since when were needs always right?

Alan Tudyk on Dollhouse, Firefly, V And More

Posted on 06. Jun, 2009 by Roco.

Blast Magazine recently got the chance to talk with Alan Tudyk about “Dollhouse”, “Firefly”, his upcoming role on “V” and a bunch of other random stuff. There may be a minor DH spoiler towards the end:

BLAST: Tell me what it was like working with Joss again on “Dollhouse.”

ALAN TUDYK: It was really great, you know, I didn’t work with him in a directing capacity. He was around doing the extras for the DVD so I definitely ran into him. It was really great.

BLAST: What is it about Joss Whedon that makes these group of actors follow him around?

AT: Um, he has dirt on all of us. Really embarrassing stuff. It’s blackmail, really, I mean I’ll call it what is. That, I guess, and you know in his shows — the two I’ve been on — there’s a way that you can have really high-stakes, dramatic situations taking place right next to very funny, and wry, sarcastic commentary. Which is hard to pull off and nobody does it better than him. So you get the opportunity to do something that’s rare.
