Regarding Dollhouse

[redbrickrose]

I got this link from nikitangel last night: The Original Dollhouse pilot script. If you're interested in Dollhouse at all and haven't read the original pilot, I would definitely recommend doing so.

My biggest complaint right now is the pacing. I feel like the story is moving fast, but we're getting nothing out of it. We don't know ANYONE, and I have little reason to care about anyone. Firefly's plot moved slow as molasses, and I could never get in to it because of that. Dollhouse's seems to be moving fast, but seems superfluous.

That being said, I still think my show highlights of the week are Moonlight & Dollhouse. Maybe because everything else doesn't feel up to my standards right now. (Except How I Met Yr Mother)

That's what I mean, I think. Maybe things are happening, but they don't matter. They're not telling us anything and we don't know anything about the characters.

The only shows I'm still watching are SPN, BSG and Dollhouse. I've given up on everything else, but I don't really watch sitcoms. I've heard really good things about How I Met Your Mother.

I don't really watch sitcoms much either, but somehow HIMYM has COMPLETELY stolen my heart. I was completely hooked by the end of season 1. Plus, it's totally got Alyson Hannigan & Alexis Desinof (he's in at least s1), and is very referential to other shows (like Doogie Howser).

Re: Dollhouse, I think I was just trying to agree with you, if that makes sense? Agree + add? I'm not sure. I keep watching shows, like Heroes & SPN, even though they're just disappointing me. Heroes is a bit better now, but now I go, WHERE IS THE COMIC BOOK STORY?!

The other one I've heard good things about and might try is 30 Rock. I'm still sort of watching The Office, but it's just not at all as good as it used to be.

I'm holding out hope for SPN to pull it together. I think I like the direction they're going in (if they're going where I think they are) it's just taking them so long to get there.

Definitely yes to SPN-- I keep watching the kind of goofy episodes lately because a) they remind me of how episodic season 1 was, b) I'm hoping they'll FINALLY get somewhere good. I just wish they'd get there faster. I'd rather have 4 tight seasons that I want to rewatch over & over than 6 and skip a bunch of episodes.
