I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Hee.

If Tim started an evil insurance company, what would it be called? That's what I want to know.

Congrats to Tim!!!

And that's why I shut off my Tim Minear Google alert. It's a way more common name than I thought. Joss, on the other hand, is a valid word in Scramble, which Polgara probably already knows, because she just handed me my ass.

I think the press are trying to set a new record for the amount of negative articles they can write about a TV show pre-air with Dollhouse.

Hey. New board.

set a new record for the amount of negative articles they can write about a TV show

Surely one of the less acceptable reality TV shows set an unbeatable record. Surely.

Perhaps it's reverse psychology. After all, didn't our dearly departed faves' reviews tend good to great?

Kevin, could you post links to what you're talking about? Because I haven't seen anything but non-judgmental "this show is coming soon" write-ups.

Viva Laughlin may have set the bar impossibly high on that one.

Kevin, could you post links to what you're talking about?

IO9 has an article wondering if Dollhouse is getting fucked over by Fox suits. Latest news includes new rewrites and general upstairs unhappiness with the show and premise.

Dollhouse has shut down production for two weeks for script work. Additionally, they wrote and shot a new first episode, with ep 1 moving to ep 2. Both of these were, according to Joss, his request. I suspect it's down to the 'creative process' with a network.

I'm sure the network is busy being the network, but this kind of thing happens. Example: Angel, which shut down production, which had Joss and Tim working on it. Television Without Pity ran a fantastically crap article saying everybody should be panicking, which included Amy Acker being a show killer as a reason why.
