Dollhouse Season Two
For those who haven't been keeping up with season two of Dollhouse, I should tell you last night's episode involved a subplot where women were kidnapped and turned into forced living mannequins. Naturally, it was played up for extra creepiness in such a way that it didn't really light up the fetish fuel portion of my brain like it might've if, say, it didn't take place in some dark dungeon, and if violent death had not come into the picture.

But then, if I were playing with some of these concepts in a mainstream story, I'd probably ramp up the creepiness as well just so no one would suspect I might, say, have a fetish that could involve seeing actresses on set standing very still, looking like mannequins, and pretending they're stuck like that. Ya know.

A few lines this episode that amused me:

"He'll be an empty-headed robot walking around Hollywood. He'll be fine."

"We have names, remember that. We're human, we're not his toys."

Doesn't that last line sound like something right out of a story on LTBSA or something?

Anyways, on a totally not at all related note, it appears from the preview shown after the credits that next week we'll be getting a flashback story detailing the whole story of the evil mind control enthusiast who had Sierra turned into a doll. Have we surprised Totally Spies yet, or no?

I did like the way that the actresses stayed still. You have to try and look past the fates of their characters.

What you said about the episode sounds cool, but ... is the show worth watching?

I'm a Joss Whedon fan, without a doubt. Buffy was one of my favorite TV shows of all time, I adored watching Angel, and I've seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog at least a dozen times.

But I haven't watched DollHouse at all, for some reason.

Maybe it's the fact that I've pretty much totally given up TV in the last year and a half, and I'm trying to avoid ever getting hooked on a series again.

But if this one is worth watching ... I'd definitely give it a chance.

Sooo ... if the fetish aspects were taken out, would it still be a good show? Is it clever and intelligent, and are the storylines the type that keep you thinking after the closing credits? Is it just creepy, or is there humor thrown in?

I'd really like to like this show, so ... if you give me a reason to start watching, I just might.

Thanks!

If the fetish aspects were taken out, it'd still be a good show. In fact, the fetish aspects don't really contribute anything IMO. None of it works for fetish fuel, at least for me, but it does amuse me slightly at time.

Is it clever, intelligent, creepy or humorous? It's Joss Whedon, so it's all of those things.

Just skip the first three episodes of the first season, because they weren't very good. (Or watch them, but keep in mind that they weren't very good.) From episode five or six on, IMO, season one just gets better and better as it goes on.

Ooh, nice! I did forget to watch it on Friday (I'm very bad at remembering when tv shows are on since I watch such little television), but now I can't wait to see it =3

I believe the newer episodes are available on Hulu.
