I'm not a huge sci-fan, nor a huge robot fan, and I certainly had enough of Lindsay Wagner as the Bionic Women in the 70s, so I can't say that I'll be watching this. I'm glad to hear you say you're "inconclusive" about it. Personally, I'd rather be reading than watching some blonde on television.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878336841714905515.post-50767606630314881792009-02-21T06:48:00.000-08:002009-02-21T06:48:00.000-08:00I still haven't brought myself to watching it.

So, I'm catching up. Dollhouse will have to take a backseat until the series is done.<BR/><BR/>Nothing against Joss Whedon because I LOVE Buffy. But...I'm doing the Moonlight thing right now. I'll catch the reruns of Dollhouse and then decide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878336841714905515.post-25936381396051264942009-02-19T06:36:00.000-08:002009-02-19T06:36:00.000-08:00Don't know if I can get myself to be interested in...Don't know if I can get myself to be interested in what some male mast*rbatory fantasy will do in each episode. But then I'm a woman. This kind of show is already alienating from the beginning cause it obviously isn't made for women. Unless, maybe it connects to the woman who wants to be all things to all men. -CCarole McDonnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443401088634718848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878336841714905515.post-3962603820268756712009-02-18T23:47:00.000-08:002009-02-18T23:47:00.000-08:00CJ: The same though crossed my mind and yes althou...CJ: The same though crossed my mind and yes although I agree, I have to say that we are talking about a corporation that doesn't allow errors. So it didn't work for me. As far as the purpose and direction of the show, I can live with that. <BR/><BR/>Tod: I had a small time crush on Bionic Woman too, but I dumped it for the same reasons. Dollhouse will take off. Joss Whedon is quite the name to support it and I will watch for for a surprise. Also I don't watch Heroes and Lost. <BR/><BR/>Michael: Heroes turned into Lost, but in the big city and it is just ultra crappy and confusing and I say don't bother. <BR/><BR/>Tanya: I liked Tru Calling as well. It was a great idea and I still wonder why was it cancelled. Dusku is a fave of mine just to stare not, not watch perform, but just observe.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878336841714905515.post-50480285072315153002009-02-18T19:31:00.000-08:002009-02-18T19:31:00.000-08:00I have watched Heroes the First Season and it was ...I have watched Heroes the First Season and it was really good--slipped after that. Don't understand Lost, I get lost too easily in the storyline. Absolutely love Battlestar Galactica, that is the new benchmark. Joss Whedon is great, but Dollhouse isn't getting much press, I even missed the first episode, Dusku is really good--I even liked Tru Calling. I too like the Bionic Woman, oh well, no accounting for taste. I'll check out Dollhouse as soon as I can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878336841714905515.post-18290432524865396712009-02-18T14:53:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:53:00.000-08:00I will have a look in case it will be aired in Ger...I will have a look in case it will be aired in Germany.<BR/><BR/>I watched HEROES and liked the first season. But the second one was really worse. And therefore I'm not interested in season 3. And to be honest I never watched Lost.ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878336841714905515.post-39339697533004463022009-02-18T13:16:00.000-08:002009-02-18T13:16:00.000-08:00Aww, I liked "Bionic Woman"... guess that shows ho...Aww, I liked "Bionic Woman"... guess that shows how much TV I watch, huh. I guess it was just marketed well so we gave it a few episodes to hook us and it seemed interesting. Though, I have to admit in retrospect, the story was weak and didn't seem to be going anywhere. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>If Dollhouse takes off, I guess I will watch an episode or two. So far, no one is saying "it's the next Heroes" but I think that will be the benchmark of popularity for SFF properties from now on.<BR/><BR/>But, hey, I don't watch Heroes, either (or Lost).

I love Whedon and Dusku. But, in fairness, I had a problem with that scene with the woman getting her memory wiped, too. It made no sense not to have things locked... but then, perhaps Echo and her co-actives are usually so passive and submissive that it's never been a problem. It would be a subtle way to suggest that. Then again, maybe I'm grasping at straws.<BR/><BR/>As for where it's going to go - it's going to be a classic good vs evil thing, don't you think? The faceless, nameless bad guys behind the dollhouse vs. those poor people who've had their memories wiped... even though it seems that Echo agreed to the procedure as a way to escape something she did.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to more. I just hope Fox doesn't kill it like it has so many other good shows.<BR/><BR/>cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.com
