Maureen Ryan Update
Die immer großartige Maureen Ryan hat hier mal zusammengefasst, warum sie Dollhouse am Leben erhalten möchte.
I guess I can intellectually understand why the millions who watch "The Mentalist" every week don't tune in to "Mad Men" and "Dollhouse." These shows aren't about bad guys being punished or diseases being cured. They grapple with uncomfortable questions about power, exploitation, hypocrisy, selfishness and the lies people tell themselves so they can feel better about taking advantage of others.
Delving into these topics does not necessarily produce feel-good TV. But when these themes are explored with brutal honesty, the results can be extremely compelling.
It's not as though "Dollhouse" is perfect; the show's plausibility problems still crop up from time to time. I wonder why former Actives such as November (Miracle Laurie) are allowed to know that they were Actives, and why Dr. Saunders/Whiskey is allowed to know she is an Active who has been imprinted as a doctor (yet as Whiskey, Amy Acker is so great I can understand the desire to give her scenes in which she rages about what's been done to her).
I also wonder how the Dollhouse stays in business, what with all the refunds they have to give for missions gone wrong. (Do they have a sign in the break room that says, "We have gone [X] days without a Rogue Active Incident"?)
Dollhouseguns Still, I find myself rooting for this show to keep going, not just because last season developed into such an adventurous, thought-provoking thrill ride.
Es folgt ein Interview mit Jed Whedon, das klar in nicht-Spoiler- und Spoiler-Part strukturiert und sehr lesenswert ist, plus die Episoden-Beschreibungen von allen Folgen bis rauf zu 2x08 "A Love Supreme". Ich kann nur sagen: Was für eine Staffel.
