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!

Discussion of those comments is probably better suited to Jossverse, no?

Perhaps, but since people were discussing Whedon's feminist cred here I thought it might be pertinent.

I'm not sure what that even *means*, not on a spiritual level, but on a sense making one. Am confused.

I love Joss like I love chocolate and/or red wine (not usually together, because that way lies migraines), but I couldn't watch Dollhouse, because...well, no. Just no. It pains me, because I'm a completist, but just no.
Don't really love red wine, but still, this is me. I tried, but I just can't do it. Maybe sometime, but not yet.
I don't really know what Joss's statement means, but yet, I'm really glad he said it. If he's doing this because he feels he needs to, then fine, but I'm glad he realizes that the craxy isn't just everyone else.
I am soooooo sad that this is the series that gets picked up for a second season, though. What a waste. Sigh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I actually think Joss was joking in that quote. I have to admit that think one of the big issues with Dollhouse is that the season was started with those godawful standalones which made it seem as if it was about making Eliza dress up in outfits and service various guys. I have heard from very good sources that JW was forced to start with the standalones by the studio, and that he was heartbroken and furious about it and that if he didn't have 100s of jobs depending on him, he would have walked away. "His" series is about all the issues of identity which started showing up midway through the season. I liked what I saw of his series, even though the season as a whole did that central idea a huge disservice.

yes, Scrappy, there's at least some truth to that. If you read the script for the original pilot, it's very different, and gives a completely different perspective. A lot of the things that were in that very first script didn't show up until 3 or 4 episodes into the show.

Yep, this is how I feel, too.

Yeah, I hope next year there will be more to watch besides "Ooh, shiny" but we'll see.
