Dabei ist wichtig, das der Kontext folgender ist:

Dollhouse hasn’t even begun airing and, despite the fact that FOX have made a thirteen episode commitment to the series, just about every bit of press relating to the show is talking about the fact that fans (of a show that hasn’t aired yet?) are campaigning to save it. I fail to see — which probably makes this all my own fault — how Dollhouse will manage to reach a larger audience when all the noise being made about it revolves around its imminent demise.

Am I saying that people with faith (sorry) in this series shouldn’t get behind it? Hell no! But I do believe that there’s a real danger that this sort of campaign could become the harbinger of doom, a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. The people behind these Save Dollhouse campaigns need to tread very carefully and choose their battles (and wording) with caution. Don’t think for a minute that I don’t admire their passion either! I’m just concerned that they may be doing more harm than good.

Ich mag es sehr, wenn die Leute anfangen so cool den Begriff "Save Dollhouse" umzudeuten. Weg vom Verhindern einer Absetzung, hin zu Werbung für Zuschauer. Auch wenn das dollhouseforums (von denen die Geschichte auch ausging, glaub ich) auch so formuliert in Antwort auf die Kritiken an der Negativität:

We are NOT a campaign to save Dollhouse, we are just fans who are dedicated to promoting it as much as possible before it airs. Joss Whedon already has a loyal fanbase -- something that new shows with burgeoning creators don't initially have. Why not use it to our advantage and band together?

Schon klar. Aber dann muss deutlicher gemacht werden, was unter "Save Dollhouse" gemeint ist. Der erste Schuss ging etwas daneben.
