Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE FOX TV series - FANSITE - Watching 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, [...]

iFMagazine have slammed the chances of Dollhouse staying on the air. How dare anyone have an opinion that isn’t completely positive about Dollhouse or Joss Whedon!:
When: Mid-season
Stars: Eliza Dushku, Olivia Williams, Tahmoh Penikett, Fran Kranz, Dichen Lachman, Enver Giokai
The Skinny: Joss Whedon’s latest TV show about an illegal group that has had their personalities [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As I touched upon in my blog yesterday, some Dollhouse fans are trying to pre-empt it’s ‘cancellation’ by starting ’save our show’ groups..that’s 7 months before the show has even started. Whilst I understand that they’re excited about the show, none of us (except Whedon and team) have even seen it yet - we don’t even know whether or not the [...]

Fox has two shiny new shows just waiting to be unwrapped. Both have set the Internet buzzing over the past couple of weeks and both have piqued my interest no end. If I was a fan of JJ Abrams and Joss whedon’s creative domes before, I’m an even bigger fan now that I’ve found out more of [...]

In the recent trailers we see head honcho of the Dollhouse facility, Adelle DeWitt, make the direct comparison between “robots” and an “active”. Whilst many of us would consider ‘programmed dolls’ to be closer to robots than ‘humans’, she tells it straight: “An active is the truest soul among us”.
So what does this mean exactly? Are [...]

That’s the question that I’m left asking after watching this sneak peak of Echo arguing with FBI Agent Paul Smith over her “missing sister”. We know that the “actives” are ‘volunteers’ in the Dollhouse programme - at least that’s what we’re led to assume. Which means that they all had lives [...]
