Oh shit, look what Virtual Echo just flipped me!?
Is Dollhouse on it’s last legs? A good post on Blog@Newsarama mentions how Dollhouse is on the bench for the November sweeps which is not a good sign for any show.
A while ago, I mentioned on Twitter if Dollhouse will survive and I knew that some DH fans would come out and flame me over my posts. I mentioned the following:
@RobertParizek If #Firefly fans get all browncoats & decked out in cosplay, do #DOLLHOUSE fans cosplay as blank slates in pastal coloured tracksuits?
@RobertParizek Read #DOLLHOUSE ratings are not good & I am sure Whedon fans will blame FOX but if a show is fucking boring, a show is fucking boring.
The biggest issue of Dollhouse IMHO is that there is NO ONE to “like” or bound with on the show. There is no Everyman/Everywoman unless Echo is programmed to be a lactating MILF. NONE of the characters like each other in any way unless they are programmed to — why watch a show where NO ONE likes one another?! I understand that maybe having unlikeable characters is what Dollhouse wants to do in that manner but I am guessing that the majority of TV viewers don’t “get it”.
