Joss and Eliza: Together Again

Posted on November 1, 2007

Joss Whedon has signed with Fox once again to do a sf television series. It stars Eliza Dushku and it sounds really cool. The name of the show is Dollhouse.

According to the interview with E! Online with Dushku and Whedon, Dollhouse is the story of Echo, a programmable human plaything:

"Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language--even muscle memory--for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal.

"When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments--or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo's burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse."

We like the concept, we like the casting, we are very disturbed that the show is on Fox. Joss, Joss, what did they promise you to come back? Did they promise to show the series in order? Did they swear they wouldn't pull the show after a few episodes have aired? Are you sill having Firefly nightmares? We are.

Naturally, we'll be tuning in.
