aw, man, I want to like it ...

So right now the thing I find really intriguing about Dollhouse is Amy Acker and the scars. And that's really it. Every time she comes onscreen there's tension and mystery; you sense that this woman was an entirely different person not so long ago, and she's hanging on by her fingernails not to completely shred apart. I saw a blog saying she's basically Fred, but I don't think so. Fred was geeky and cute. This character is damaged.

I kind of think that Echo needs to get her memory back completely by episode 4, upending the premise of the series and going in a whole new direction than we were all expecting.

In other TV geekery, I am in love with the Hulu ads. An evil plot to take over the world ... well, there's someplace I need to check out!

That's really about it from me tonight. I had some things I thought I'd write about, but I am sleepy and can't remember them. Sad, sad Laura.

I kind of agree so far. But, I didn't love Firefly at first either. Or Buffy for that matter. It's always some weird idea that sounds crazy, and Joss makes it work out well, ya know?

My issue so far is with all the child molesters and crazy murderers, it's sort of like those CSI shows that I hate watching. I like my shows full of sci-fi and vampires and things, not real life bad stuff. BUT, after the second episode, I was definitely feeling it a bit more than after the first one. And all the reviews I've read have said to wait it out for a few episodes before deciding because the plot is kind of slow building up.

I didn't actually *find* Buffy until partway through the first season. I did like Firefly right away, but they pre-empted it so many times I forgot to actually watch when it was on.

Yeah, both of these first two episodes were things Criminal Minds has done recently--and I'm sorry, but I don't think police procedurals are Joss's oevre. :) I'm really kind of hoping this will get flipped around within a couple of weeks and turn into something else.
