Fringe Sounds Boring by The Ender Smites Foes	May 13th, 2008 05:55:15 AM
i hope Im wrong. Eliza Doucheku bores me though
Megan Fox's rack + Whedon script = Dushku's rival Doll by spud mcspud	May 13th, 2008 06:29:26 AM
You know this could work. Megan Fox as evil nemesis to Dushku's heroic Echo. I explode with orgasmic joy. Mrs Spud-To-Be leaves and moves in with Lost Jarv. I'd still watch THAT show, though. The Fox/Dushku one, not the Mrs Spud2B and Jarv one >:(
FRINGE and DOLLHOUSE by spud mcspud	May 13th, 2008 06:34:23 AM
DOLLHOUSE has got me - that could really work. The philosophy of identity made the Bourne movies pop, and gave them a gravitas they otherwise might not have had. And it's Whedon - he got a lot of goodwill from me with FIREFLY, which is almost perfect. I'm there with bells on. FRINGE... meh. Could be interesting, and might actually do something with that abandoned Rambaldi plot in ALIAS, but sounds an awful lot like reheated X-FILES to me. Great to see Noble back., but Jackson? Has he made anything decent since the Creek? And FREAKYLINKS did the post-X-FILES X-FILES thing so much better - Ethan Embry is fantastic and Lisa Sheridan is the best-kept secret in hottie history. She was Evangeline Lilly even before Evangeline Lilly was Evangeline Lilly. So, in short: DOLLHOUSE sounds awesome (and no I'm not a Whedonmaniac), FRINGE sounds okay-to-meh, and we fucking demand a FREAKYLINKS DVD box set RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!
Question: Does Dushku have the acting chops for this? by Smerdyakov	May 13th, 2008 07:41:46 AM
I mean, playing a slut, we know she can do, but the rest?
So in summary: Fringe 10 seasons; Dollhouse axed after 2 eps by crayon	May 13th, 2008 08:09:14 AM
As long as the script review wasn't hyperbole or the reviewer wasn't Herc in disguise it certainly sounds like material requiring too much attention for Fox. Hell, I was worried enough that the first episode didn't spell everything out; mixing it with cerebral concepts sounds like a death wish
Terrible... by SKULL1138	May 13th, 2008 08:20:01 AM
What...Whedon is a fucking hack, he raped my childhood Abrams has totally lost it because he is over a certain age, this will be ghastly and terrible and all that stuff that everyone says about every other story on here. Someone will start it, so thought I might as well, theres always an asshole everywhere Although people like Abrams, even though MI3 was incredibly shit, and Alias faded away to shiteness after series 3 Whedon lost it when they cancelled Buffy and Angel, that firefly gash was absolutle rank rotten, so was the movie but uinlike most others on this site, I will give things a chance and judge for myself, so will watch both and see what they are like, could be another LOST and/or Buffy/Angel. the start of this post, was just an impression of the normal biloe that is spewed by talkbackers. Teenage geeky ass bandits the lot of them
What both of these series need is a tranny by Barmat	May 13th, 2008 08:26:45 AM
Come on you know it would be better.
I can't wait! by Series7	May 13th, 2008 08:29:50 AM
for these shows to be cancelled.
How about less negativity? by GenPion	May 13th, 2008 08:41:31 AM
Both these shows sound like they could be awesome... let's not resign to them being canceled before they have even aired their pilots. We should give them a chance. Then maybe Fox will too.
GenPion by Allahzilla Bobaganush	May 13th, 2008 09:10:40 AM
You do realize this is FOX we're talking about right? Fox does very little to develop or promote a show unless it's another shitty reality series or a ratings monster from episode one. I really want to see both of these shows but I'll just wait until they come out on DVD and get renewed for a few years because I'm tired of investing anymore of my time in something they're going to yank off air after two episodes.
Pretender and X-Files by quintana007	May 13th, 2008 09:11:54 AM
...for the generation CW. Wasn‘t a compliment, if someone asks
You know what? I think the world is ready for an X-Files clone. by zillabeast	May 13th, 2008 09:45:30 AM
I'm not talking about LOST, either. I mean something that literally emulates what Chris Carter did for all those years. It's no secret that JJ is a huge fan of the franchise, so I think he will respectfully add his own touches here to continue what he loved in his own way.
Abrams by kapnasty	May 13th, 2008 09:58:58 AM
is a hack. He copies so much shit and turns it into crap. Fringe will suck just like Lost, MI3, and Alias.
See what I mean? by SKULL1138	May 13th, 2008 10:06:35 AM

should i even bother watching? by macgruder	May 13th, 2008 01:14:43 PM
Anything those 2 show-runners put on fox gets canceled anyway. I hate being disappointed.
macgruder by Rumpel Tumskin	May 13th, 2008 01:44:29 PM
I feel exactly the same way. After the way Fox screwed up Sliders/Wonderfalls/Firefly and other shows, I cringe whenever i hear they are putting out a show I may be interested in. They will screw it up or cancel it...or possibly screw it up then cancel it.
Whedon wrote a script that blew its wad upfront?!! by TallBoy66	May 13th, 2008 02:13:21 PM
The hell you say. It's not as if he's ever gone out weakly before after a strong start. cough
Rumpel Tumskin by hst666	May 13th, 2008 04:02:40 PM
How DARE you put mention Sliders in the same sentence as Wonderfalls or Firefly? For SHAME!!!
Sliders, No by _Maltheus_	May 13th, 2008 05:39:26 PM
But you can add Profit and Action to that list. Profit was up there with Dexter, in my book. And Action was the last new funny show to come to Fox.
ok off topic but its J.J. related... by Bouncy X	May 13th, 2008 07:05:17 PM
im in the middle of listening to the season 2 soundtrack for Alias and i noticed something interesting in the CD case...this one photo has the following numbers on it : 16-8-1523 those are also part of "the numbers" from Lost. i guess they must have some special significance for J.J. just though that was creepy and cool.
Start Drafting your EFFING FOX CANCELED ______ ALREADY by chromedome	May 13th, 2008 08:18:30 PM
talkback posts now, folks.... Have em ready, you KNOW you will need em.
Dollhouse is Whedon's response to BSG by killamajig	May 13th, 2008 08:35:04 PM
It sounds like both his response to, and adaptation after BSG in themes and tone
Dushku's got a hot bod, but her face just puts me off... by torpor_haze	May 13th, 2008 09:52:07 PM
therefore its hard for me admit it she's hot.
HERC: any news on RDM's "Virtuality"? by zooch	May 14th, 2008 03:11:42 AM
I will watch all of these. Finally someone is paying attention and hiring good show runners.
AICN: Where entertainment is hated by CuervoJones	May 14th, 2008 07:10:26 AM
All "sucks" and everybody is a "douchebag".
Anything with Dushku in it by Nabster	May 14th, 2008 05:32:19 PM
is bound to be terrible. Not only can she not act, she's also unattractive.
