The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

The one about the apprentice assassin learning from her dad? I didn't know that had aired yet.

That's the one! It aired two or three weeks ago, maybe? I think it was on USA so I'm sure it will re-air a million and two times.

It seemed to be some sort of backdoor pilot.

Art Crawl!!!

No, it was a pilot for a show that was picked up but then abandoned due to the writer's strike.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Just watched the Dollhouse opener. I think the buzz is overly negative and it could make a really interesting show.

Has the buzz really been that bad? The reviews we've seen so far haven't said claimed that it's a perfect show, but they have been mostly positive, which is more than could be said about Firefly.

The earlier reviews were pretty bad. It's still a mixed bag in terms of reviews, and I'm mixed on it myself.

The buzz overall though has been very bad though - I'm amazed how FOX have handled key things with the series, which I said would translate negatively into press, and I wasn't wrong. I mean, Dollhouse is on the cover of a magazine here and the headline is something like 'Is Dollhouse doomed?', which isn't exactly going to get people watching, and much of the articles elsewhere follow the same format. If they had put some thought into the Friday move and done a press release with Joss supporting it at the time, it would have helped a lot. Instead Joss has come out in retrospect saying 'I would have put it on Friday night, too', but that's too late, the horse has bolted. Broadcasting and Cable's question to Peter the other day was hilarious: "Is Dollhouse really as bad as people say?". That's PR gone wrong.

Either way, I think most of the episodes will air, if not all of them.

Also, if I hadn't known Joss had written the first episode, I would have bet a lot of money on Tim writing it, or at least coming up with the plot.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I saw a Dollhouse billboard today... it wasn't particularly exciting.

Was it the one with all the white mannequins?
