Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE FOX TV series - FANSITE - Watching Dollhouse

It’s been quite a few weeks for Joss Whedon and Dollhouse, the acclaimed Doctor Horrible launched and soon after broke the Internet, the TCA came to visit the Dollhouse set, Comic-Con has pushed the Dollhouse promotional front into over-drive, Whedon announced his plan for Dollhouse Webisodes, Dollhouse filming resumes in just under two weeks..oh and it was [...]

Maybe it’s just me, in fact it probably is, but one thing I love about all of this Dollhouse buzz, is seeing all of the different and imaginative ways in which people come up with to describe Joss Whedon’s next big TV outing. Many are wide of the mark, such as one description from a [...]

Joss Whedon has been talking to Gawker about Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and he also had something interesting to say about the Dollhouse ’save our show’ campaigns that hit the community a couple of months ago:
Q. Some fans have already launched a campaign to save Dollhouse from fickle network programmers who cancel everything that doesn’t have [...]

Charlie Jane Anders over at io9 believes that Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse hasn’t yet become a haven for spoiler information, although there are a few major spoilers relating to the snippet that FOX released a couple of months ago.
Personally I think it’s inevitable that the nearer we get to the January premiere date, more and more spoilers will [...]

(This piece contains slight Dollhouse spoilers in the 3rd paragraph, regarding the length of time the volunteers remain as ‘actives’)
Today I read a most interesting article about the ‘ethics of erasing bad memory’. Dr. Haig tells the real-life story of a young woman called Ellen, who is undergoing a biopsy when she accidentally overhears that she has cancer. [...]

Brink: “Hello Echo”
Echo: “Did I fall asleep?”
Brink: “For a little while..“
*Shudder*
One of the most fascinating characters that Dollhouse will introduce, has to be Topher Brink - AKA Mind-wiping Guy. He has been described as a “Genius programmer who’s articulate, nerdily attractive, and blithely amoral”. I find this interesting, because is he really the type of person [...]

As a big ‘LOST’ fan, I find that one of the most useful narrative devices that JJ Abrams (now Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof) excellent show has in it’s arsenal is the ‘flashback‘ (and ‘flash forward’) device, which allows the viewer an insight into the characters past/future.
Don’t worry non-Lost fans, I am going somewhere with this.
I just wonder whether [...]

“You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.”
-Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
How poignant. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind appears to share several parallels with the Dollhouse premise.
Like the novel Never Let Me Go, this film could well have been a subconscious inspiration for Dollhouse - in particular, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ asks questions about self-awareness [...]

According to Tohper Brink, the Dollhouse mind-wiping guy, the Dolls are all “volunteers”, which means they made a conscious decision to join the secret government programme. I find this interesting because essentially it means that they left their morals and integrity at the door. They must have known when they signed up that part of their ’programming’ would include [...]
