"It's cutting edge science in a house full of hot chicks!"

That seemed like something Warren would say. Pretty much a villain. Bugs me big but in the "man do I hate that character now!" sorta way, which I think is pretty intended.

Seriously? The usage of the phrase "hot chicks" makes someone a villain? I think that's a bit much.

I found the trailer on youtube. It was very good but it did cause uncomfortable feelings deep down in my gut. I think it's the coffin-like sleep pods I found most disturbing.

I like the disturbing. It makes me think. Non-disturbing? My brain shuts down.

Dollhouse still sounds far more interesting than Fringe (which is just screaming X-Files to me). Also the trailer felt very Angel in terms of style.

If any of you need a link to the trailer (and a bonus scene/half-scene), just search Youtube for "Dollhouse" and "fox" for the goodies.

It's not the phrase, it's the tone and the implied attitude. This is not a man who considers those hot chicks to be people. At least, not at the moment he says that line. I could see him being an eventual good guy, helping the Actives, but the first impression I get is "this guy doesn't see those people as people, but objects" - code for how too many young men think about young women.

Jessica, if anything I went to a Molly background story when I saw the initial description too. I think what helps a little there, as with River's background story and others (Dark Angel, several slave/captive story lines from Angel and Buffy) is that there is a progression.... a way up or out or through, so that the idea of exploring identity doesn't turn into some sort of Law & Order gerbil exercise wheel of "Who will they sleep with this week, and why," with lingerie. With the writing and production team at hand, I am very hopeful.

I'm interested in the character development, even as I'm concerned over the human-trafficking themes... but more so because of the risk of getting stuck in that story base (FOX, looking at you, hon), rather than what can rise out of it.

Also, I recently finished the entire Buffy series. The new full series boxed sets are awesome. I'd not really seen the show, believe it or not. Not with any kind of serious consistency. Now I'm all fan boy.

"One of us! One of us!"

But we kinda knew that already.

Tim should do the favorite-to-least listing of Buffy seasons.

Ooo, yes. I'd love to see that.

"Hush" is still the scariest for me. I *still* jump when that Gentleman glides right in front of the window.

When the person saying it is making a living replacing the hot chicks' brains with Folger's Crystals and then renting their bodies out to the highest bidder and his reaction isn't abject horror but "Yay! Hotties!" Um...yeah. That's not one of the good guys.

Cracks. Me. Up.

Angel was better.

Well, yes. This.
