Merrick is the worst! by merricks14yearoldson	May 16th, 2008 07:07:29 PM

Where's the fat guy? by Nerdgasm	May 16th, 2008 07:11:10 PM
These shows should have at least one fat guy...or chick. It's discrimination I tell ya.
Wow! Looks like every other generic psudo-sci-fi-action-tv-show by Mike_D	May 16th, 2008 07:11:58 PM
i'll never watch it.
Who's the hot asian chick? by Spamster	May 16th, 2008 07:12:06 PM
She looks like the chick from 'sideways'.
Hot Asian chick's name is Dichen Lachman by ThisLifeArtificial	May 16th, 2008 07:16:31 PM
Australian actress and former model. Had a part of soap opera Neighbours. She wasn't very good. At all.
Typo by ThisLifeArtificial	May 16th, 2008 07:17:38 PM
Had a part in the soap opera.
Do we really need eight zillion Doolhouse posts? by Charlie Murphy	May 16th, 2008 07:20:00 PM
damn straight we do this show is easily my most anticipated new show. watch the trailer if you haven't yet.
I thought... by flickchick85	May 16th, 2008 07:24:18 PM
this post would be about the trailer. Do we really need posts about promotional photos? Especially ones that just have the cast standing around looking pretty?
Looks like by MeshGearFoxx	May 16th, 2008 07:25:53 PM
shit, it does. Those middle three "can be imprinted with complex talents and personalities"? I have to admit that would be some great acting if they can pull that off. The wiped clean part will be a piece of cake for them.
Seems Imprintables are Imprinted thru Soles of Bare Feet by chromedome	May 16th, 2008 07:39:15 PM
hmmm
Keep em Barefoot and Imprinted by chromedome	May 16th, 2008 07:40:04 PM

Sounds Like "The Pretender" meets "Now and Again" by Optimus Primal	May 16th, 2008 07:42:42 PM
Its a whedon series, so we can be sure no matter the quality it will hailed as the second coming by the Whedonites. The casting doesn't inspire confidence though. The barefooted dude looks like a Douche bag. I have the distinct urge to punch him and I have no idea why.
He should play Helo on both shows by snowpuff	May 16th, 2008 07:55:30 PM
That would keep people thinkin'.
The asian chick's not really that hot. by SilentP	May 16th, 2008 07:59:51 PM
Her face is... odd.
Faith by NudeandAroused	May 16th, 2008 08:01:34 PM
Is truly Hot. One of my favorites. She actually has some underappreciated acting talent as well.
The bigger pictures of the set... by snowpuff	May 16th, 2008 08:02:49 PM
...look like they just remodeled Wolfram & Hart. I think Joss is doing this show quick and dirty and not losing too much sleep over the details... which is a smart bet. If the show sticks and Fox supports it, more thought can be into it later...
snowpuff, you may be right.. by torpor_haze	May 16th, 2008 08:15:49 PM
I just read somewhere that Dushku had to try hard to convince do this show. He was actually recommending other people to her.
best CGI ever by danowen	May 16th, 2008 08:16:34 PM
Why not just cast real actors in this, though? Okay, okay, joke. But that's a heavily photoshopped pic, though! The trailer looks pretty good, although I can't believe nobody's picked up on the fact it's just Joe 90 en masse :) If you ask me, Fringe has the best trailer, but this comes a close second. And the concept feels fresher -- can't quite believe JJ Abrams' Fringe has X-Files-esque credentials and a Lost-style plane disaster in its Pilot!! And I'm sure every character will be interlined via big coincidences :)
oh and on the set... by torpor_haze	May 16th, 2008 08:18:21 PM
Whedon likes to make his sets spacious nowadays b/c as he commented before that he could never find a good place for the camera in the library of the Sunnydale High.
The dolls are barefoot because by the podosphere	May 16th, 2008 08:19:55 PM
they're dead. Like Paul.
So if avg. 3 Dollhouse posts a day till January...229 days or so by TallBoy66	May 16th, 2008 08:24:34 PM
Then that's about 687 posts about Josh Whedon's "Dollhouse" until January. Assuming it premiere's on Jan. 1st, that is...
Harry Lennix by redshirt	May 16th, 2008 08:34:26 PM
Jeez he looks like Barack Obama! Poor guy...
Faith AND Fred? by Will D. Thrill	May 16th, 2008 09:38:49 PM
Eliza Dushku plus Amy Acker makes this doubleplus good.
No shoes, no service. by kabong	May 16th, 2008 09:51:46 PM
Eliza doesn't even look good in this. Isn't that the secret underground lair of Drax in "Moonraker"? Or was it Blofeld's in "YOLT"?
Sigh by ZeroCorpse	May 16th, 2008 09:59:08 PM
::facepalm::
It's a damn shame that with their budget... by James Westfall	May 16th, 2008 10:14:29 PM
... half of the cast doesn't get to wear shoes.
Helo looks bitter because Reaper hasn't guested him yet by chrth	May 16th, 2008 10:15:05 PM
And understandably so
I'd like to.... by closeencounter	May 16th, 2008 10:17:55 PM
dushku Eliza any day.
im gonna watch only because by bacci40	May 16th, 2008 10:34:35 PM
it will help me to better imagine dushku sitting on my fucking face
The set looks like by VicSage	May 16th, 2008 10:42:36 PM
the inside of Wolfram and Hart the last season of Angel. Maybe they got a deal on sets. I'll give it 3 episodes to grab my attention. Still very leary, not because of the talent, because of evil known as FOX. Oh, and they're barefoot so they can walk on our backs to give us massages.
I'll give it 5 episodes... by RaveX	May 16th, 2008 11:06:57 PM
fox will give it 2. ZING!
This looks photoshopped in the extreme by chromedome	May 16th, 2008 11:21:51 PM
pasted virtual dolls on virtual set probably they couldn't get everyone there at the same time, but they didn't bother to make the lighting match--Helo looks kinda gray (probably shot in Vancouver!)
I Have FAITH that Eliza has Found her Tru Calling.. by frakthetoasters	May 16th, 2008 11:53:39 PM
...and I HOPE that Fox doesn't cancel it as soon as it's out of the starting gate or TRICK us with scattered starting times. "You guys are the kick! If I had friends like you back in high school...well, I'd still drop out but I'd be really sad about it."
One still photo... by pk68	May 17th, 2008 12:24:20 AM
and people are flipping out already. Idiots.
yea, you'd hafta be an idiot to post in this TB, eh? by chromedome	May 17th, 2008 12:26:39 AM
or maybe just a putz
Why no Acker in the photo? by Mullah Omar	May 17th, 2008 02:00:24 AM
Is she already marked for death? And I have to disagree with the idea that Dichen Lachman is a "hot Asian." Honestly, she is easily one of the least hot Asians in a string of thousands of Asians that I have known and seen. Distinctive, yes, but hot, absolutely not. At least not in that photo. PS - I hope this show catches on.
So, about these imprints by Gnasche	May 17th, 2008 02:00:50 AM
Are the programmers of these personalities and talents going to make the extra effort to include witty banter and snarky asides, even if it means working overtime? I'm betting they are. This is why our government is so far in debt.

Hope the show is good, but seriously, that's one bad promo photo.
Not pictured is Amy Acker by newc0253	May 17th, 2008 04:52:02 AM

"Not pictured is Amy Acker"? by newc0253	May 17th, 2008 04:53:18 AM
you mean arguably the hottest member of the cast ain't in the picture? otherwise it looks cool though.
Dichen Lachman by alpha	May 17th, 2008 05:21:56 AM
I've met Dichen Lachman - shhe is indeed hot. people aren't used to Nepalese looks though which are very different to a lot of the other Asian races. Suffice it to say people who are dispariging her looks on Aint it Cool News are probably not living by the People in Glass Houses rule.
Anyone want to put a bet on how long it'll take for ... by montimer	May 17th, 2008 05:25:08 AM
Fox to cancel this? I'm betting twelve episodes, of which, nine will be screened (out of order) Why does Joss keep working with these cunts?
Tibetan sorry not Nepalese by alpha	May 17th, 2008 05:41:34 AM
wrong mountain people
Why no Amy Acker? Silly Promo still! Yeti Skoff. by Yeti	May 17th, 2008 05:48:15 AM

You know that I mean by SUPERJIM	May 17th, 2008 07:59:55 AM
Wolfram & Heart right?
Dichen Lachman by MrJJonz	May 17th, 2008 08:33:33 AM
Is possibly one of the worst actresses I have ever seen. She stood out as being really bad in Oz sitcom Neighbours - yes, she stood out as being bad in that.
HELO GOTTA EAT!! by SkidMarkedUndies	May 17th, 2008 09:19:00 AM
J/K. That dude kicks ass in whatever he's in and I'm glad he's getting some work. I love the way he walks in BSG too, like he has a serious dump to take and NO ONE SHOULD STAND IN HIS WAY, or essentially the Triple H runway walk x100.
Neighbours isn't a sitcom... by Sledge Hammer	May 17th, 2008 09:25:30 AM
It's a soap opera. Quite possibly one of the worst soap operas ever concieved in fact.
I would leave my fiancee for Eliza Dushku... by MrSentinel	May 17th, 2008 09:46:16 AM
Eliza could cut vegetables and make a tossed salad for an hour and I would watch that. Sexiest woman on television. My God...
Gonna go the way of Firefly, except there'll be no movie by performingmonkey	May 17th, 2008 09:55:39 AM
It's already cancelled.
Hopefully Dushku's star power by zooch	May 17th, 2008 10:09:54 AM
will make this show a success and people will stop ignoring Joss Whedon.
even Eliza Dushku... by palewook	May 17th, 2008 10:13:07 AM
can't save this. only by the grace of whedon's pen and fox's patience does this stand a chance to find an audience. cue the, "its been canceled before it aired" fox jokes..
Bring back the "Dollhouse" remake prequel. by kabong	May 17th, 2008 10:30:19 AM
It was cancelled too soon.
I've been in the Dushku line for years now, so by CreasyBear	May 17th, 2008 10:50:02 AM
shouldn't I be up next? Or at least soon? Seriously, when do I get to bite that luscious bottom lip? Damn, that woman is fine.
Dig the Kill Bill House of Blue Leaves set, too. by CreasyBear	May 17th, 2008 10:51:33 AM

Amy's not pictured because by oisin5199	May 17th, 2008 11:23:04 AM
she's only a recurring cast member, not a regular. It's a contract thing.
so what by snowtires	May 17th, 2008 11:56:59 AM
was joss watching minority report and the pretender a lot when he came up with this idea?
Blame fox... Sure... by ZeroCorpse	May 17th, 2008 12:04:53 PM
Joss' shows being cancelled has NOTHING to do with the fact that he barely writes at a fifth grade level, his actors all sort of suck, his dialog is childish snarky poo, and the only people who bother to watch his shite are the same people who say "kthxbai" and pronounce "LOL" out loud in conversation with their cosplaying friends. Whedon sucks. The reason his shows are cancelled is because they don't find an audience beyond the hardcore Whedon ball-garglers, and despite appearances, there aren't enough Whedonites to get decent ratings-- Besides, the advertisers have no idea what to sell to Whedonites. How do you get a boost in revenue from people who put all their money into finding the right buttons to make their Spike costume "authentic" ?
Sledge Hammer re sitcom by MrJJonz	May 17th, 2008 12:31:38 PM
You are correct. God only knows why I called it that. Although, when you have the scene of the dog Bouncer dreaming about getting married then I'm not sure soap even covers it.
zero: irony by palewook	May 17th, 2008 12:51:07 PM
if you are points are true, then why are you in the minority here?
Dushku is THE HOTNESS! by fiester	May 17th, 2008 01:00:38 PM
And she's a really cool person besides. I'm really pulling for this show. Hopefully the return to Whedonville will be fried gold after the misfire that was "Tru Calling" (which was not her fault since all they made her do each episode was run run run).
Eliza is nasty by Nabster	May 17th, 2008 01:04:51 PM
she looks like a street hooker if you ask me.
the only thing worse than her by Nabster	May 17th, 2008 01:10:40 PM
appearance is her acting. I really do like Whedon even if his casting sensibilities lay on the obvious and unsophisticated side, yet Eliza is unacceptably bad.
nabster, you have no fuckin taste by bacci40	May 17th, 2008 02:11:03 PM

Jesus! They look like Troll dolls! by caruso_stalker217	May 17th, 2008 02:57:39 PM

fringe trailer by bacci40	May 17th, 2008 03:13:57 PM
http://tinyurl.com/5swn3d...su rprise, it starts off with an event on a plane...and i get this strange feeling that sometime during its run, there is gonna be some lost crossover tie-in...watch, and maybe you will see why
Not his best concept so far by Teddy Artery	May 17th, 2008 03:47:12 PM
The entire premise really is stolen from The Matrix, and I'm pretty sure Wachowski's stole it from someone else.
MrJJonz by Sledge Hammer	May 17th, 2008 05:05:11 PM
I think 'crap' covers it pretty well, though even that may not be a strong enough term sometimes. And anyway, who says dog dreams equal bad plotting? Wes Craven thought it was perfectly logical to have the dog in Hills Have Eyes 2 have a full on flashback, after all. And it's not like that was the dumbest thing ever. Oh, wait, yes it was...
GLOBAL FREQUENCY HQ... by spud mcspud	May 17th, 2008 05:14:21 PM
But with way more hot chicks and fewer screens. Now get Michelle Forbes as Miranda Zero and this show could go stratospheric. Y'know, Joss Whedo said he wanted to write for GLOBAL FREUNECY back when the pilot was made? THAT would have been the 100% PERFECT SCI-FI SHOW. It would have peaked, right there. All else would have been less than.
How is the premise stolen from The Matrix? by flickchick85	May 17th, 2008 06:51:40 PM
There's no fake reality here or anything like that. Simply people who are constantly brain-washed into different identities.
I truly can't believe, by Stevie Grant	May 17th, 2008 07:06:03 PM
that I just scanned this TB and didn't see a single reference of "Welcome to the Dollhouse" heading. What's this site coming to? I hope I'm wrong, I did just scan this TB, but I've lost faith nowadays.

We'll see.
just watched the trailer by samsquanch	May 17th, 2008 09:00:26 PM
it does have potential. Love Olivia Williams.
Imprints? by Pandas-R-Us	May 19th, 2008 06:30:13 AM
So they imprint knowledge and stuff on these guys and then erase it after the mission? So it's basically Joe 90 then is it?
