This week’s episode of Dollhouse, titled “Man on the Street,” was a game changer episode. It was “Prophecy Girl” on Buffy, “Diversity Day” on the Office, “To Shanshu in LA” on Angel, “The Man in the Fallout Shelter” on Bones, and “Tracy Does Conan” on 30 Rock. All these episodes helped shape and redefine the […]
Don’t have a lot of time (it’s Battlestar Gallactica night here at mi casa), but I needed to say: THIS WEEK’S DOLLHOUSE FRAKKING ROCKED. It had action, comedy, and truly awesome plot developments, as well as an obscene amount of half-naked Ballard and Victor (proving once and for all that on Dollhouse, the exploitation goes […]
With premiere time part 2 of the year getting under way, it’s about time that we here at My TV let you in on what we’re watching. *shows with an asterisk are Kelly’s most anticipated/favourites What We’re Watching (or at least taking for a test drive) * United States of Tara (Showtime, Sun 10:00) Created […]
I think I might officially like Dollhouse, not just because it’s a Joss Whedon show, or because it stars Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penniket, or even because I see potential in it. I think I have officially fallen for the shows charms, from the supporting characters to the strange ambiguity to the sexy neighbors who […]
I’ll save you the suspense: Dollhouse still isn’t quite the show it could be. But this week, with the twisty and intriguing episode “Grey Hour”, it got one step closer. Along with the second episode, “Grey Hour” felt like a well-conceived and well-executed mission-of-the-week. The plot was this: Echo was sent out as “Taffy,” a […]
General consensus on this week’s Dollhouse is that it’s a subpar offering sandwiched in between the greatly improved second episode and the (hopefully) awesome fourth episode. And it is, subpar, I mean, thanks to the far-too-on-the-nose A-story involving Echo playing backup singer* to a Rihanna-esque superstar with a poorly-formed death wish, who waxes poetic about […]
In its second week on the air Dollhousemay have missed the mark (but met expectations) in ratings (failing to break 5 million viewers again) but, in my opinion, it found its ground creatively. Truth is, I’m not sold on the premise yet; the mythology is interesting but doesn’t offer up a central character I can […]
There was no way I was going to watch tonight’s premier of Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse and think anything other than “WEEEE.” If just the name Joss Whedon weren’t enough (which it most certainlyis for me), add in Eliza Dushku (who I think was tremendous and heart wrenching as Faith), Tahmoh Penikket (and those […]
