Scanned first page topics, didn't see this one so here you go.

A new Whedon series:

Ooo, didn't know there was a trailer out for this already. Looks great. HEEEELOOOOOOO!

A couple interviews with Whedon, Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penikett (from Battlestar Galactica)

Not a who lot new is revealed in them. Dushku sure has a lot of energy. If I had to pick someone that was high on cocaine it would be her. Probably just a few Red Bulls though. Joss hints at a Dr Horrible sequel.

Dollhouse is going to air starting in January, 2009 on Fox at 8pm, right before 24. Since MNF will be over by then, that's not a bad time slot.

In Dollhouse, Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls." The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.

I'll admit, the premise doesn't grab me. Whedon's reputation will get me to watch this one and give it a try.

This is what will happen. The series will be ultra cool and have great ratings and then Fox will pull it in favor of some reality tv shit and then Sci Fi will pick up the series (or just re-air the season). Fox can't help it as it is in their nature to fuck up the good shows.

Fox will have to keep changing the air times too. They love to shuffle the good shows all over the place before they cancel them due to poor ratings.
