I really loved the direction on "Out of Gas"
Heh. Even though Tim didn't direct it, I love that episode beyond the telling of it. In point of fact, I woke up thinking about it this morning (no lie). Specifically, about Mal waking up with everyone there, and Wash hooked up to him with Zoe on the bunk right behind Wash, and how - maybe for the first time - Mal understood that his crew placed him as high in their esteem as he placed them in his.
"You're all gonna be here when I wake up?" / "We'll be here." / "Good. That's good..."
Anyway. I also went to a Neuromancer place when I heard about the premise for Dollhouse. I'm adopting a "we shall see" attitude about my issues, while hoping like hell that the show does well.

Hm. Eliza Dushku as Molly.
...I could kinda see that.
Comparing Echo to Molly might not be the best thing; William Gibson (much as I adore him) does not have the best track record on women characters either. He makes them strong, yes, but they're all prototypically prostitutes (Molly, Mona, Sybil) or children (Kumiko, Chia, Chevette) or sexually idealized nonpeople (3Jane, Angie, the Idoru, the Belonging Kind). Except for Cayce. I think Cayce was okay; she was an adult professional. I can't remember anything that pinged me about her.
There are definitely potential problems from that trailer, but we'll see. If I were guessing, I'd lay money on me not sticking with it because sexual abuse and messing with memory are both personal hot button issues for me. The amount of messing with memory that they do on
Torchwood is enough for me to often feel they were all villains.
So I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be happy. But we'll see where they go with it.
Still haven't seen the trailer, but I always remind myself that the trailers are the work of the network, and we're talking about Fox here.

Heh - yeah, I wasn't necessarily seeing the Molly parallels as comforting.

Shshshshshsh! Keanu Reeves will hear you.

oh they are. Not a good one in the bunch. It's one reason why I love that show.
Well, the Buffy seasons blur a little for me, since I literally watched like three and four at a time until I was done. Many high points, though. My favorite character is Anya. I, of course, already knew the musical because Joss played me the songs on his piano on The Cape way back when. So I was really looking forward to that... then if I recall I was kinda surprised by how much the season around that episode sort of... um. Er. Gotta go.
