Knight Rider rubbish. And I don't think it's ripping off Paycheck (PKD must be spinning in his grave over that one), I see this more as a Quantum-Leap-without-the-wit-but-with-bimbo-flesh thing.

Instead of having Ben Affleck, they just put in an "attractive" woman as the main character. Maybe the creators of the show were hoping that the viewers wouldn't realize that the ideas are exactly the same if they had some scantily dressed woman running around being all "actiony". This is just a lame excuse to show off some skin of some other bimbo.

It started somewhat slow, but once the actual "case" was presented I realy liked it. I can see myself liking alot of the characters, echo's handler and the computer guy for starters. Te whple FBI thing was eh for me, not relly nesesary but ill wait and see how it plays out. "Dollhouse, dollhouse dollhouse, it rolls out of the tongue" Awesome dialog I actually liked it.

Dushku's contract with Fox gave them first right of refusal on any project involving her. The whole Dollhouse concept started with a lunch conversation between Joss and Dush. Someday people will talk about how the HE podcast started with Lunch conversations between me Eli and Josh [stars in eyes]. beat me to it.

Joss actually has Dushku to thank for the opportunity to do this show, since Fox offered Dushku the oportunity to be the lead in any new show she wanted and she then stipulated that she wanted Joss to create and run the show. Thats what he gets for investing in unknowns. I'll answer this one, since I'm sure someone else will if I don't.

Clone Wars, T:SCC, Dollhouse, & BSG! Hollywood is trying to kill what little I have of a social life! If they assume I can't get a date on Fridays like a normal person, I should be insulted. btw, who thinks Dushku is bonin' Whedon to put her on this show? So much sci-fi geekery in one night!

Was decent exposition, and mildly exciting. But Whedon's strength lies in the ongoing story, not the opening. I still reserve judgment. The show was okay. Was decent exposition, and mildly exciting.
