Man, glowy Cordy! Still annoying, but slightly less so now that I know she is secretly EEEEVIL.
It's all about the coat.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

What is even happening?
Ben just saw on the news that Seth Green turns 35 today.
Interesting.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Why did I think Seth Green was younger than I am? We are the same age! Happy Birthday Seth Green!

Why did I think Seth Green was younger than I am?
Because he's a wee thing. And he's currently making a living pretending he's 12 (i.e. Robot Chicken).

All is well that ends in pizza.
I enjoyed his episode on Heroes.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Robot Chicken. It must be so much fun to indulge your inner 12-year old and 35 years of pop-culture experience AND get paid for it.

But the show really finds itself in the second half.
Doom doom doom. So very fucked. Nobody's going to see the second half of the show until it comes out on DVD.
Joss and Tim really need to find their shows in the first five minutes of the first episode. Without creating insurmountable marketing problems like alienating titles (BtVS), face removal scenes or premises summed up as "Joss's mind-wiped whores" (to quote one LJ).
Or start doing shows for HBO. Those fucking Fox development deals are a special kind of deal with the devil. "Here, become a multimillionaire and do what you want. However, we will crush all your hopes and dreams."
Actually, I guess that's the regular deal with the devil.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Without creating insurmountable marketing problems like alienating titles (BtVS), face removal scenes or premises summed up as "Joss's mind-wiped whores" (to quote one LJ).
"Okay, it's about human trafficking, but not in a skeevy way! ...Well, okay it IS skeevy, but that's what we point out through the show! No, really! Just stick around to the second half of the season; if you can get through all the skeevy stuff for which there's no explanation, THEN it really gets going!"
Oh, Joss.
The Big Important Issues that he wants to address through the show *sound* very interesting. I just don't think that human trafficking of mind-wiped whores (or, given that they're described as "childlike" -- no, I'm not going there), is the best way to draw people in to your super-interesting issues.
I'm going to a Dollhouse party tomorrow night, and I'm hoping I don't get all squicked and freaky in front of relative strangers. I want the show to be good, but I'm so worried it's going to be skeevy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
if you can get through all the skeevy stuff for which there's no explanation
The problem is that there are explanations and they're handled terribly. Maybe the show does get better as it goes along, but the premiere is one big giant "have my cake and eat it too"-fest. ("Look at my sexy sexy human trafficking victims! I obviously respect them as human beings even as I take away their agency and their clothes!")
