Why the FRAK is no one watching it?!?
You’d think at least the Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Dr. Horrible fans would at least be watching it. (By the way, Dollhouse creator Joss Whedon also wrote episodes for The Office and worked on the screenplays for Alien: Resurrection and Toy Story.)
But I think I’m the only one. And tonight’s episode was so fraktacular and so shocking and so full of geek-out moments that I am far too wired to sleep.
My little cat thinks it’s strange that I’m up so late, but what can I tell her? I want to watch the episode again. And again. But I probably shouldn’t.
I know most of you have never even heard of the show. It’s not your fault. (Shame on you, Fox, for only pimping the show around your failed Terminator:SCC show – you’d already lost the viewers, so who the heck was gonna see the ads for the the best new show on your network?!)
But now’s your chance. Lock yourself in a room with your computer and headphones. Go to Fox’s page for Dollhouse here and watch the past 3 episodes, and then watch Briar Rose.
Go on. Call me when you’re done, and we’ll discuss.
Also, any true BSG fan should be watching. It’s Helo, y’all!
If you’re of an older viewing demographic (read: you’re 50 or older), and all this sci-fi stuff just kinda goes over your head, hear this:
Joss Whedon is a third-generation TV writer. The man’s got pedigree. His grandpa was a writer for The Donna Reed Show and Leave It To Beaver, and Whedon’s dad wrote for The Dick Cavett Show, Alice, and Benson. It’s like Joss can’t help but be a brilliant writer.
So would y’all just give Dollhouse a chance? Joss Whedon is a true master of his craft and Dollhouse is the quintessence of “must-see tv.”
WATCH IT!
