A Week Of Doom & Gloom “Dollhouse” Headlines
It’s been an amusing week of headlines in Dollhouse-land. So many of the blogs and news sites eager to cast their gloom on the high concept, low priority that is Dollhouse. The headlines they use to cast their gloom has ranged from the spectacular to the hilarious to the ones which cry out ‘please click me, please click me’.
Let’s have a look [...]
Newly Edited Memory is Possible..Not Only in Dollhouse
One of the things that I like about the ‘Dollhouse’ premise (not the show, I haven’t seen that yet) is that it deals with fantastical science and it’s interaction with the human condition. At the heart of the premise is memory, or rather, mind-wiping. Such a vulgar term, but it is what it is. Anyways, [...]

Active Imagination #3 - Supersoldier
With the ability to programme the actives with muscle memory that allows them to operate beyond normal human capabilities, we could well see a government agency or even a company or individual hire out an active (or group of actives) for specific combat assignments or high stake missions. Who knows, our actives might even be [...]
Active Imagination #2 - Karate Expert
Echo as a Karate expert? Yeah, I could see that. Karate is all about discipline and defence (apparently), so if someone needs the protection without wanting to actually kill anyone, then programming an active with Karate muscle memory might be a good option, none of this “wax on, wax off” business.
Apparently one of Eliza Dushku’s [...]
Active Imagination #1 - Assassin
Today a friend told me that the Dollhouse premise is flawed. They said that there are only so many entertaining people and professions that the “actives” could ‘become’, and only so many skill-sets that they could obtain. With that I begin my journey to prove them right or wrong, as I active-ly imagine the possibly [...]
The Formula for a Great TV Promotional Poster?
Most Dollhouse fans that I’ve come across love the Eliza Dushku promo poster that was unveiled at Comic-Con a few weeks ago. Likewise, most Fringe fans that I’ve come across love the Anna Torv promo posters that were released this week. Which leads me to wonder, what is FOX’ secret formula to producing conceptually intriguing promotional [...]
THEORY: Operant Conditioning in Dollhouse?
One of the more surreal clips from the Dollhouse trailer shows Echo and her pals slipping into coffin-like chambers, where they go to fall asleep. But who in their right mind sleeps in a coffin? It would appear that coffins are not only reserved for the dead in Dollhouse, as with twisted logic the zombie-like “actives” [...]
