Emma Stone– She was the saving grace of the underwhelming Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a highlight of The House Bunny and played one of the only relatable characters in Superbad. The girl is a serious talent and she’s here to stay. Dubbed Disney- the mad editing skills of “Fantachan” make the Random Disney Crap YouTube […]
Please. Please. Please. Please. Don’t read this if somehow magically you don’t know the huge Dollhouse spoiler that involves Alpha. I’ve warned you. Here, I’ll warn you again. Don’t Read this if you haven’t seen this week’s episode and/or if you have mercifully avoided spoilers until this point. There, you’ve been adequately warned. In this […]
I am a serious fan of genre fiction. I say this to distinguish myself from people who like Lost despite the science fiction or enjoy Buffy while despising horror. It’s not a value judgment; it’s a question of taste. For me, stories that come from a deep internal mythology speak more heartily and more truly […]
This week’s episode of Dollhouse, “Haunted,” went back to the beginning formula, with a self-contained monster of the week that felt a little as though it were holding off for bigger episodes. But unlike the first couple of episodes, this week’s monster of the week was actually pretty damn thought provoking. Margaret, a very rich […]

Normally, I don’t read any other reviews before I start reviewing an episode of Dollhouse. When I go deep into metaphor and character analysis, I want the ideas to be my own. Unfortunately, my tired brain brought me to the AVClub.com’s excellent review, and in my weakened state I read that before I could formulate […]
Last night’s Dollhouse was advertised by FOX as an “Event” and Whedon himself hyped it by saying that 6 and 8 were the real pinnacle of the beginning of the Season. I have to say though, I was a little… dare I say it?… disappointed. It’s not that “Needs” wasn’t a good episode, rife with […]
Dollhouse this week was a much goofier affair than the week before’s revelation-o-rama. It was back to story of the week mode, with Sierra and Victor being sent to a college to investigate an outbreak of craziness thanks to a drug developed by the enigmatically evil Rossum corporation. Said drug infected everyone in our cast, […]
