DollHouse

Friday February 13th, 2008 -- Joss Whedon (creator of groundbreaking cult favorites "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly") returns to television and reunites with fellow "Buffy" alumna Eliza Dushku in DOLLHOUSE. Don't miss the series premiere TONIGHT at 9/8c on Fox!

Echo (Dushku) is an "Active," a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don’t just perform their hired roles; they wholly become – with mind, personality and physiology – whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time. In the series premiere episode, Echo is hired by a businessman to be the ultimate kidnapping negotiator when his young daughter is abducted. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) risks his career in his search for the elusive Dollhouse.

Sounds quite good!

Yeah I thought sounded interesting! Not that I need another show to watch!

_________________

Yeah I'll probably not actually watch it. Laughing

I might wait till Summer, when the whole series is out, I'll have more time then!

_________________

people keep telling me I should watch True Blood, (I think that's what it's called!) which is about vampires, and I keep saying yeah I will, and then not actually watching it. I just don't watch TV much! Have other things to do! I think Being Human is the only thing I watch on TV at the mo. Apart from Lost, and that's not on tv! Laughing

_________________

Yeah I've heard of true blood too. I don't watch TV, I watch TV shows Wink

Get them all on ninjavideo.

Started downloading this today, it's the whole series so will probably take a few days, might be weekend before I start watching it. Got hubby convinced on this one anyway.

_________________

Cool! I'm up to ep nine at the mo, would've been less but I actually watched two in a row the other day. Laughing

_________________

Well that's a start at least.... Laughing

_________________

I probably should've been doing something more productive. I think it was when nobody was here!

_________________

Watching good shows is productive, surely? Laughing

You have to relax sometimes....

_________________

I kinda feel like I've wasted my day if I spend it watching TV! Laughing

I'm properly addicted to Dollhouse already though.

_________________

Yeah I know what you mean, I was feeling like we didn't do much with the long weekend, since we mostly just watched films and the rest of True Blood...made up for it today though with the walk and the cleaning and now got some work to do....no writing though Sad

But maybe later.

Hopefully I'll get addicted too! Is it exciting?

_________________

Yeah I think so. There's a fair bit of fighting in it and I totally love Eliza Dushku, if she was a man I'd so have her babies. Laughing

Plus the characters are interesting and there's been a few twists so far. And the whole concept is really good too... the fact that they wipe these people's memories and then imprint them with new memories so they think they're someone else and use them for all sorts of things.

The woman who runs the Dollhouse is always saying that the people volunteered and she's doing it for the good of them and all that... And the last ep I've just seen sort of explains why someone would want to be a Doll... I won't give it away! Laughing

_________________

I don't remember her very well from Buffy, ages since I saw an ep with her in it. But yeah the concept did sound good at the time, and if it's exciting and there's twists and all I reckon i could get into it.

_________________

I think I missed her in Buffy, I don't remember her in it at all.

It's not massive Lost-stylee twists, but they are nice little ones that I didn't guess were coming.

_________________

Little twists are good too, I just like it when I get caught out, with some shows it's just so obvious what's coming and I hate that! Laughing

She's in Buffy a few times, over various series...I just haven't seen any Buffy in ages I think!

_________________

I've got series 5 on DVD but I've not got round to watching it yet so don't know if she's in that! Laughing

Not got any of the rest of it.

_________________

Yeah it's one of the things I'd like to get the whole box set of....someday. If I got it I'd have to watch it though!
