Quote of the Day

From a brief script review of Joss Whedon's pilot script for Dollhouse over at Zap2It:

"A good pilot should do one of two things: It should either lay out the blueprint for the rest of the series or it should intrigue you so much that you can't wait for the second episode. ... Dollhouse falls into the second category. Whedon's script builds into a mystery that's as much philosophical as science fiction. The introduction to the show's universe is immediately disorienting, but also enthralling, as Whedon mixes elements of the conspiracy thriller with what threatens to become a profound meditation on identity. Dollhouse comes across as darker in tone and slower in pace than anything Whedon has previously attempted and while there's humor sprinkled throughout, the sensation at the end is one of overarching menace and also sadness."

I'm building my time machine tonight. See ya in eight months or so!

Can't wait! And it has that hotty Helo in it as well. WOOF! I bet those bastards at Fox cancel it within 12 episodes...

Wow, I've just read the full story. I'm a pretty big JJ fan as well and miss Alias so much. These new shows sound blinding!

I'm so excited I just dribbled out a little bit of wee.
