Hier jetzt Admin. Hilfe brauche.

Hier will jemand was an sich kluges sagen, schafft's aber nicht ganz:



Von 1:00-1:40 ist der Dollhouse-Teil. Und "Alias meets Felicity" wird schon mal gar nicht verziehen. J. J. Abrams, du hast mein Leben zerstört.

I posted it over there, but I find it important enough to post it here too. For all you English-speaking people dropping by here, a summary of my thoughts on the "Save Dollhouse"-campaign.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I really don't like the idea, that people are already trying to "save" dollhouse from cancellation.

1) none of us have seen it. we don't know, if it's any good. i like to judge a show (and start action) after i've actually seen it.

2) this is a new management at Fox. headed by Kevin Reilly who came over from NBC, where he renewed The Office after incredibly low ratings in the first season. He is known to give shows a chance to grow. So far, Fox' support for Dollhouse has been incredible. Joss trusts in his support, altough he said, he didn't want to work with them anymore after Firefly. That's good enough for me.

3) What image does such a campaign deliver? basically such a campaign is saying "this show is ALREADY in trouble", which looking from the two points mentioned above, simply isn't true. the problem is: people are talking about this (wired.com, boingboing.com, popwatch.ew.com filmjunk.com, fanlib.com, etc.), they are talking about a failing show 8 months before it premiered, and what they are not talking about, is the show. the trailer. the interviews. this is the definition of bad marketing: highlighting not even real, but potential problems, and shifting the focus away from the positive things that are worth anticipating. the trailer, for instance. nobody out there will get interested in a show, just because they heard, that the guy who's doing it has fans that are already trying to "save" it, because they've been burned by the network. somebody out here might get interested in a show, where a group of people have their personalities replaced and memories erased to commit thrilling acts of what-ever-you-want.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My final note goes out to the start of the campaign at dollhouseforums.com. Even they don't consider the campaign a "save the show"-thing (anymore). They explicitly distance themselves from any panicking, and just want to hype Dollhouse. They love Fox' support for the show. So, when the consensus is reached, to not talk about this as a "Save Dollhouse"-thing, I guess we best start hyping the show. I hope this will be my final post on this topic. :)

Fringe holt weiter auf, der Verhältnis ist nun statt 1,63 runter auf 1,07.

Für all jene, die noch nicht Firefly- oder Whedon-)infiziert sind, pajiba.com hilft sehr schön aus:

Let me get this disclaimer out of the way right from the start. It’s safe to say that many of the regular Pajiba crowd are Browncoats who already love themselves some “Firefly.” This column isn’t for you. There are already plenty of smart, well written, in-depth articles about the wonderfulness of “Firefly,” pieces written by folks who are much more smart-like and gooder with the words than I. Instead, I’m writing this for folks who haven’t seen “Firefly” before. People who, much like myself until about a year ago, thought this was just another stupid sci-fi show.

Sehr schön auf den Punkt gebracht finde ich:

As with many “Firefly” episodes, the primary plot, while strong enough on its own, is really about servicing the characters, rather than the other way around.

Ironisch wird's dann bei:

Unlike many sci fi shows, there’s very little techno-babble or stilted exposition, and the dialogue itself is well paced, with a ton of comedic beats interspersed in even the most serious moments, keeping the whole thing from getting as dark as something like “Battlestar Galactica.” In fact, as much as I love “Battlestar,” “Firefly” is probably a far more accessible show for the masses, as it’s much lighter in both tone and visual composition.
