Xander ,'End of Days'
[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!
It's not until April. The idea would be, one suspects, that's plenty of time for Dollhouse to find it's legs. But still, Prison Break as a lead in?
I think there's an outside chance FOX will pull Terminator before then, should it fall any more. It's down to under 4 million viewers now, which is ridiculous. That Kevin Reilly bloke must have balls of steel.
Allyson, the thing you mentioned above got me thinking. There's some research I reading earlier which suggests that being lonely for extended periods in effect changes the brain - well, damages. It increases levels of cortisol, which messes a bunch of stuff up, including memory.
I am guessing they 'simply' upload the memories, and don't physically alter the brain with each personality, so the person you implant can't be the same in each Active. Or maybe they do alter the whole brain? In which case, they presumably have the tech to fix brain damage.
Next week's episode is episode 3, "The Target". It's not the intended pilot - Fox refused to pony up to reshoot certain bits, so it's in the bin. Then it's on to epiosde 5, then episode 2
Sigh. Has this strategy ever worked for Fox?
It works all the time. Push your best episodes forward.

Like with Firefly?
Well, Tim and Joss were instrumental in that happening - Tim spoke about it here back in 2002. I fully support the order they had them in, as it gave them the best possible chance of finding an audience at the time.
Also, science and Dollhouse - [link]
There were clearly male dolls wandering around. Everyone was very very pretty, though. Of course in TV World most folks are much younger and/or prettier than ever makes sense. Except in shows trying to be "real," the eye candy factor is way way off the charts.
You should come watch some British TV Scrappy, it's like we've let every Orc from Lord of the Rings on our screens in comparison.

Instrumental in what happening? I thought that Firefly was aired out of order, which they *weren't* happy about.
Nope, if you go back in the archives here Tim was posting about it at the time.
Other common Firefly tales:
1) Fans campaigned for a movie. 2) Fans made Serenity happen. 3) DVD sales lead to Serenity happening.
1, 2, 3, reported in just about every big publication. 1, 2, 3, made up. Firefly wasn't even out on DVD when Universal started work on Serenity.
The great thing about history is you can make it up.
