Dollhouse

[ghost2]

I loved Buffy and Angel. They were two of my fandoms, and I wrote a fair bit of fic for them. That output includes some stuff I still like, and a few WIPs I want to someday finish. I was really hoping that Joss Whedon's newest show would be good.

First, I watched the return of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. So far, so good.

Then came Dollhouse. I tried; I honestly did. I just couldn't help it, though. I fell asleep half an hour in. Looking back, I'm not sure how I managed to keep my eyes open until that point. Dollhouse was terrible. It was more boring than Crusoe, which a few months ago I named worst new show of the season.

Opinion: a keen disappointment. I don't want to watch another episode. I'll take a look at the Nielsen ratings when they come out and post about them in a day or so. Let's see if other viewers agreed with my assessment. At this point, I'm thinking the show will be a quick failure. Maybe, in comparison, Sarah Connor will have strong numbers.

I haven't watched Dollhouse yet, mostly because I'm trying to overcome my trepidation. I mean, I love Eliza Dushku, but that premise seems like something that might just piss me off, and I don't have a lot of faith in Joss after the horrible downward spiral of the last couple of seasons of Buffy.

Your post isn't making me want to rush out and watch it.

LOL, it would be ironic if you end up loving the show. Hey, it could happen. I've read comments from some people who thought it was great, though it seems like most reactions are unenthusiastic.

I'm with you in disliking the final two seasons of Buffy. The last year especially was just dreadful and hard to watch at times.
