the verdict

So has anyone been watching the Dollhouse? they had the second episode just yesterday and I must say that I like it so far. It has big potentials. Not the best actors, sometimes it becomes a little bit fake, but it's pretty good. The story is interesting and currently, I am hooked. That's a pretty good start right? :-)

I would love to hear from others who have been watching.

I like the first episode more than the second one.
I am missing a bit of humor that I would expect from the writer of Dr Horrible.
This second episode was waaaaaay too cheesy with all the "I trust you with my life" connection.

I need some humor... and hopefully a girl that is not constantly pointing out the obvious cheap marketing of Eliza Dushku appearing naked during commercial breaks.

I think it has potential if it takes itself less serious. But it seems the girl hates every minute of it... or doesn't like me looking at Eliza ^.^

I agree - the banter and humour that was such a feature of all of the previous series has so far been absent from the Dollhouse. The show is indeed taking itself too seriously!

But I think it has potential and will stick with it a bit longer.

Did either of you guys watch The Firefly? I am not sure how much humour that one had either, or maybe the first couple of episodes didn't have them.
or maybe i just don't remember :-P
I hope Joss will make us proud and make all our waiting worthwhile.

Dushkin is sexualized a bit isn't she? the interesting thing is that according to the NPR interview that I had posted a while ago, Joss (who is a bit of a feminist, viz. having strong female leads) showed the show to a group of feminists and it seems opinions were split. Some were saying she is almost like a prostitute.

Firefly charachters were funny.
The captain ways to deal with serious issues were always with a relax goofy approached.
Remember the pilot? and his wife? their dynamic as well as the M.D. and the engineer girl were also funny.
And wasn't there a brute all force no thinking person in the cast as well?

There is no funny in Dollhouse so far :(

you're right, the characters were really funny. Was buffy funny like firefly from the beginning?
I am trying to find hope for dollhouse! :-P
