'Hell Bound'
[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!

...but I'm an In-Joss-We-Wait-And-See viewer. I haven't really liked the premise of any of his or Tim's shows ahead of time, but for me they've pretty much ranked between good and outstanding once realized. Because of this track record, I'll start watching pretty much any show either of them does. If I don't hate it, I'll give it at least a few eps to see how it develops. After that, it's up to the work to convince me to keep going.
This.
Isn't that the approach anyone would take on any show by a creator that had a former show you liked.
I liked Alias and Lost so I am looking forward to see what JJ does with Fringe.
I liked Cupid and Veronica Mars so I will watch several episodes of whatever Rob Thomas puts out there.
I love BSG so Virtuality has me for at least 6 eps.
I mean, does early (possibly mistaken) perceptions on subject matter turn people off to the point of not even giving it a shot even if the creator has made enjoyable stuff in the past? I can't quite comprehend that.
I'm willing to give the show a chance. I'm very open to a wide variety of "entertainment" options. After all, I still watch CSI: Miami.
But I will give Dollhouse super mondo bonus points if they don't do any episodes involving a strike or featuring a picket line because, OMIGOD, TV writers, stop it already.
I... will see, I guess.
Which is basically what Tamara and Libkitty said. I will watch with interest, although I find the premise, as stated, extremely skeevy and dubious.
In the meantime, I have Deadwood.
I think the fact the premise description includes the word 'awakening' suggests it's about fighting the squick. Or that the show's about getting up really, really early.
I think in terms of raw entertainment there's huge potential. Although I think the person I saw online suggesting they load Echo with the personality of a vampire slayer called Faith might have taken it a little bit too far.
Kristen, have there been strikes? I guess there was one on House, but it seemed like a bad afterthought. Have there been others that I missed?
There was a strike that led to a murder on Law & Order last night.
Oh, I'll watch at least the first ep. I mean, otherwise, what will I post about?

Umm as long as they are not writers strikes, I'd like to see more strikes on TV. Cause you know part of life, and there are still enough "ties to union equals ties to gangsters" out there that I'd like see more stuff with organized labor as good guys.
