Will they have their memories wiped? by Domi'sInnerChild	Dec 8th, 2008 01:08:59 AM
And reprogrammed to do something new each week when they wake up? Sounds interesting and original.
So what is this show copying? by Amy Chasing	Dec 8th, 2008 01:42:10 AM
Bladerunner, Ghost In The Shell, or Dollhouse? Or is it, dare I say, something new?... ish?
Showtimes's answer to Dollhouse? by newc0253	Dec 8th, 2008 02:33:30 AM
knowing Whedon's lousy luck, Dollhouse will get canned before it reaches 13 eps but SYNS will run for a Stargate SG-1-like 12 frakking seasons.
Central concept sounds like "The Island" by Shan	Dec 8th, 2008 03:26:29 AM
and "The Island" had to settle out of court for sounding too much like "Parts: The Clonus Horror". Hopefully the rest of it's different - and good.

remember her from Project Greenlight 2, was she the one that actually got her script approved?
Greenlight 2 winner was Erica Beeney. by Hercules	Dec 8th, 2008 05:51:48 AM
lots of good-looking filmmakers that season.
'vag'-uly by thecrimsoncurse	Dec 8th, 2008 07:38:38 AM
freudian to the upmost.
"various uses" by ChildOfMen	Dec 8th, 2008 09:47:33 AM
aka "sex"
Sounds like what Dollhouse should be... with sex by Prof. Pop-Cult	Dec 8th, 2008 10:19:28 AM
And you know there's going to be lots of boobies in this. I approve.
This show will be so generic due to demographic by Damien Chowder	Dec 8th, 2008 10:48:51 AM
targetting people that don't watch tv.
Oh I meant "good" tv. by Damien Chowder	Dec 8th, 2008 10:49:18 AM

Sera Gamble by Gislef_crow	Dec 8th, 2008 11:13:19 AM
More importantly, she's been shepherding Supernatural along for three years, as an Executive Story Editor and then this year as Supervising Producer. She did most of their vampire stories, and while she hasn't done any of the major storyarc episodes, she's done decent work throughout.
I'd bang a synth. And you would too. by turketron	Dec 8th, 2008 03:01:26 PM
The next generation of Real Dolls.
Each ep will involve the SYNS by kabong	Dec 8th, 2008 04:36:19 PM
whining about relationships.
Sorry, I read that as "repellant" by cookylamoo	Dec 8th, 2008 04:43:14 PM
which is sort of what I expect from Sci-Fi.
Sounds like Dollhouse...but better by TheWaqman	Dec 9th, 2008 12:56:40 AM
and without all those shitty Joss Whedon quirks. Fuck that guy, his shows deserve cancellation.
Let me guess by There Are Twelve Models	Dec 9th, 2008 03:49:48 AM
They will be used for sex. Wouldn't we all rather see something along the lines of Brin's Kiln People? Even Whedon's new series sounds boring as hell. Doing memory wipes is a screenwriter's crutch almost as bad as timetravel. Who wants to watch a show about people who, by design, don't matter to society?
So, after there's bloody mutiny in an Off-world colony ... by TheAFLACDuck	Dec 9th, 2008 10:09:25 AM
Will they be declared illegal on earth?
Michael Marshall-Smith by Chorlton01	Dec 10th, 2008 12:07:11 PM
All stolen from his novel "Spares." Really should have sued "The Island" as well as "the Clonus Horror." I think they would have filmed "Spares" if it didn't go batshit crazy half way through.
I agree, Waqman by Cobbio	Dec 10th, 2008 12:45:42 PM
As much as I dig Joss Whedon and his genre work, I'm having a hard time getting excited for "Dollhouse." Maybe it's because Eliza Dushku, who's cute but at best a quality supporting actress, is the show's lead? I don't know. I'm excited to see where "Syns" goes, though. Good science fiction is good science fiction, regardless of budget. If hundreds of Syns are walking around doing things on this show, it sounds like an evocative setup for a hard science fiction drama. I'll most definitely check it out.
