Joss Whedon Back on TV
tokenhillbilly writes "Joss Whedon of 'Buffy' and 'Firefly' fame has signed on to do another TV series on Fox starring Eliza Dushku (Faith from 'Buffy'). The series is going to be called Dollhouse, and the story surrounds a group of people 'programmed' to do missions out of a sort of high-tech dorm. '[The series] follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission. After each assignment -- which can be physical, romantic or even illegal -- the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the "Dollhouse"). [The] show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness, which impacts her missions.'"
In episode 3 Echo downloads a music track and spends the rest of the episode evading the RIAA.

Need a professional organizer?
It's refreshing to see a new series by Joss where the main character is not a girl with superhuman martial art abilities taking on nearly unsurmountable tasks while not being aware of the subtle manipulations of an unknown dark and nefarious nemesis.... Oh wait.
I am NOT going to watch another show just to see the best, most clever, smartest and funniest person die.

You mean Anya, right?
Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead, Zagreus sees you in your bed and eats you in your sleep.
Battered writer syndrome?
I don't have much sympathy for him - his Buffy and Angel runs show the guy knows how to play the game. Even if Firefly was killed a few seasons early, Buffy was killed a few season late. He's not really a rube walking into Fox's spinning blades of ineptness.
Sooner or later there needs to be an intervention and his friends and family need to tell him that, no matter what it says, Fox doesn't really love him.

I'm fairly certain something like this must already be happening. At least at my work. Its the only plausible explaination for people to constantly make the same bad decisions over & over again.
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done on the people who are still alive.
When she becomes petrified from a segfault, will we need hot grits.

Yes a teenage vampire, why wouldnt everyone like that?
Serenity was good because it was libertarians in space. Buffy sucked balls because it wasnt true to the movie. I watched the first buffy episode but kristy swanson wasnt in it so who the hell cares. I mean they didnt even use donald sutherland! it was a big let down and I vowed never to watch it again.
I'll just use my special getting high powers one more time...
