I originally followed the show because I’m a Whedonite. Personally, I found the show to be trite. But it had AMAZING potencial. I’m hoping season one was just some much needed exposition and that this next season will live up to Joss’ other works.

I believe Joss has already refuted the idea of a musical episode of Dollhouse. I’m as disappointed as anyone, I really want to see Topher singing. Also I think you meant cojones, not cajones.

Quote “Dollhouse (and Mutant Enemy) have proved to have serious *cajones* when it comes to subject matter”
Cajones means drawer in english… if u wanted to put balls in spanish that’s COJONES…

Kellen’s comment that “Eliza Dushku’s charisma shines through just a little too much when playing Echo in all her incarnations” is very perceptive, much more sense than the demonstrably untrue “Eliza can’t act.” In the British magazine “SciFi Now #26″ back in February Joss explained in some detail the development of “Dollhouse.” Fox’s notes “wanted the character to essentially capture the essence of the actress. Essentially having Eliza be Eliza… I’m like ‘Were you even in the pitch meeting for this show?’” Joss admits he “lost it” when he heard this; “for a while it was the opposite of what we [he and Eliza] had signed for.” Whedon however understood Fox’s signing Eliza as a charismatic personality. They decided Eliza would retain some of her mannerisms and character traits to show that “though they try to wipe her brain (Echo) retains a trace of the person she was.” Whedon was aware they compromised: “It’s called adjusting. I’m a little rusty at it, quite frankly, but it’s got to be done. I think you see some of that adjusting in the first few episodes.” I recommend this interview; Joss reveals, for example, he was wary of the objectification / sexual issues that would arise, and that Fox contradictorily wanted “Dollhouse” episodes to be both more standalone and part of a conspiracy arc.

Agreed! I hope FOX is reading the many comments left in several different blogs, regarding the first few episodes and how slow/dull/unfitting they were. They wanted creative control of them, and it almost lost half the audience. It pains me they don’t trust Joss. They should. The man knows what he’s doing, so why they insist of being in the way is beyond me.

I do love the supporting cast. They’re all so great. Poor Eliza, though. She’s the head of the game and she’s not really up to what the rest of the actors can do. Can you imagine if the lead was Amy Acker? Her character is so interesting and she’s such a great actress. Well, most of them are.

Also, it’s “cojones”, not “cajones” (means ‘boxes’).

I’m so glad dollhouse got renewed. Some people will never like the show, just because of the sci-fi aspect. I thought the first 5 episodes were pretty dull and repetitive, and when your first season is only 12 episodes long thats almost half a season! However, these episodes are necessary to establish and setup the characters and plot background.

The last few episodes of the season really started to show some of the potential this show has.

Fran Kranz, Tahmoh Penikett, Amy Acker, Dichen Lachman and the rest of the supporting cast are amazing. Dichen Lachman was great as Tophers (Fran Kranz’s) birthday geek. Amy Acker was solid as a rock.

I really want to find out how the Paul Ballard (Tahomh) is going to play out over the next season.

Dollhouse is absolutely terrible. I’m amazed this show got renewed, while other better shows did not.

A lot of these points are exactly what I’ve used to convince friends to watch it. They were hesitant, but now there’s a second season they’re all “well, maybe”.
I think this show is going on to become something great!
