Ho hum

Links are starting to appear to Dollhouse but I can't muster up the enthusiasm to snag it. I thought I'd be psyched for anything and everything Whedon but this project is not getting me excited.

1. I don't think Eliza Dushku has the range as an actress to play all those different personalities. Plus, I hated Faith on Buffy (I know, I know, sacrilegious thoughts to most of the fandom but she never ever appealed to me as a character).

2. Network interference. Pilot re-shot. 'Make it more accessible'. Friday night time slot o' doom.

3. The premise is a little hard to swallow. Someone wanting to hire the perfect hooker or even just a date for the night I can understand. But choosing to have one of the 'dolls' become a hostage negotiator or spy over getting the real thing? Sorry, I don't buy it.

4. It's on Fox. Cancellation is imminent anyway.

I'll probably download it at a later date to satisfy my inner completionist or if the critics and the flist start raving - nobody is raving yet.

Is anyone else feeling a bit apathetic towards Dollhouse or is it just me?

I am, but then again, the only show Whedon ever made that I liked was Firefly. ;)

I think I must be apathetic, because I forgot to record or watch it.

Oops.

Sorry to bother you but I wrote you an email about Thursday! :/
I hope you get back to me.
