Ich würde sagen, auch davon war das meiste schon bekannt, aber Punkt 5, 6 und 10 sind neu. Punkt 9 würd ich so nicht sagen, das wird ja auch im Trailer bewusst offen gelassen.

1. People pay — a lot — to use the “dolls” (called Actives) employed by the Dollhouse.

2. The Dollhouse is very selective about its clientele and performs thorough background checks.

3. When on missions, Actives receive a “personality imprint” that provides them with regular memories as well as muscle memory.

4. These imprints mean that the Active isn’t pretending to be someone else — they are someone else. If imprinted to be a killer, they’ll kill; if imprinted to fall in love, they’ll fall deeply, truly in love.

5. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. This ensures their safety while allowing for privacy between the Active and the client. Handlers only listen in on a mission when it involves criminal activity.

6. After the Active completes the mission, he or she feels an immediate need to return to the facility, where the Active will be wiped of his or her memories.

7. The Dollhouse serves as a kind of school/dormitory when Actives are not out on missions. They live, eat, sleep, shower, learn and train together there.

8. Most of the Dolls are young, and all beautiful.

9. Supposedly, the Dolls volunteered for the work in the Dollhouse — they give up five years of their lives, and at the end they receive a ridiculously large sum of money and no memory of anything they did for the Dollhouse.

10. Missions for the Actives are only supposed to last 10 hours, or else the imprint could be strained. However, lately certain missions have taken quite a bit longer, some lasting for days…

Dieses Post hier fragt nach grundlegenden psychologisch-/philosophischen Prämissen von Dollhouse, und nennt Behaviorismus, das Höhlengleichnis und die Gottfrage. Vorerst einmal.

Dass der Trailer (den's im Forum mit Downloadlink gibt) nicht für ordinary people, sondern für die Upfronts und Werbekunden gedacht war, macht ja erst mal gar nix. Da geht "The Pretender" sehr gut durch. Umso ärger aber find ich dann Massive Attack am Anfang. Immerhin reden wir hier von "Dissolved Girl":

Shame, such a shame
I think I kind of lost myself again
Day, yesterday
Really should be leaving but I stay

Say, say my name
I need a little love to ease the pain
I need a little love to ease the pain
It's easy to remember when it came

Yeah, like hell.

Feels like something
That I've done before
I could fake it
But I still want more

I'm telling ya, he's playing us hard. Whedon will uns das komplette 2009er-Jahr mittels Dollhouse zombiefizieren, damit wir ihm endlich seine eigene ... erm... Matrix bauen.

Natürlich, erm... spoilery:

Harhar:

You can't necessarily tell what the series is, but who are we kidding? We're so there.

Und das Foto mit den Puppen ist immer noch magisch.
