I like the disturbing. It makes me think. Non-disturbing? My brain shuts down.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

[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!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

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.

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

not your mom's socks.
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The usage of the phrase "hot chicks" makes someone a villain?
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.

That's true. Perspective is everything.
