I'm interested to see where Joss will take "Dollhouse". Also, there are male "dolls" as well as female ones.

Ah, none of the men were shown in the clips I saw. Except for one female doctor all the people in the know were men and all those that weren't were women (which I'm also happy to accept as being a marketing decision rather than a writing decision).

Then again, depending on the men, that may or may not make it better.

Basically it's either going to be The Handmaiden's Tale or it's going to be The Chronicles of Gor, and I'm not sure his best intentions are enough to move it into the former catagory (or that I'll want to watch it if it is; like Animal Farm, The Handmaiden's Tale wasn't something I'm dying to reread ( ... )
