What can I say about week two of Dollhouse? Well, I did think it was a pretty significant improvement over the premiere last week. The storyline was more compelling, there were more moments of character development, and a sprinkle more of the pithy dialogue I like to see in a Joss Whedon show. But it still wasn't "great."
Moreover, the ratings were down -- and they weren't all that high to begin with last week. So I already find myself wondering if Dollhouse will even get the chance to keep growing creatively, as it seems it will. I hope so. But if it doesn't, I suppose there's some consolation in knowing it won't be the devastating loss that Firefly was.
But if I should soon find myself lacking in quality Joss Whedon television, I can try to console myself by watching this, all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in just over three minutes.
cue up the A-Team drumbeat... if you need a girlfriend for the weekend. if no one else can help. and if you can find them. maybe you can hire. the dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteI can already see the future of this show. it goes a little something like this: science guy thinks he's a genius but he's not. the memories are not actually erased like it appears. eventually Echo will rmember EVERYTHING she had been imprinted with and she will become uber-agent.
