Re: Dollhouse -- "Stage Fright" -- 2/27/09
I finally watched this last night. The episode reminded me of an 80's show like Knight Rider or Bionic Woman where the main star would go undercover to try to stop a sniper or main bad guy. I felt as if I had seen it all before. The only thing different was that she wasnt really uncover but had a new identity.
The highlight was seeing Tahmoh's shirt open.
I expect more from Joss.

as soon as the show was over i thought i was in 1979 after watching the
bionic woman.
this was a very poor overused dull plot.

Yes. Very dull. Sterotyped and bland characters that would never be caught dead on a usual Whedon show.
I also think Dushku is pretty weak in the lead. As someone had mention she isn't versatile enough to hold the lead in the show.
Now Amy Acker on the other hand....

I had the same thought. Amy would have been great as the lead "doll" for this concept; she seems to have the range for it based on what I've seen her play (Fred, Illyria, the doctor on this show, the evil chick in the last season of Alias whose name I can't remember).
(I know, I know. It was Eliza's production deal, etc.)

Overall, I thought this show was pretty lame. My wife said to me at one point, "I can't believe you are watching this crap. This is so not your speed." Nonetheless, I stuck it out and will continue to watch.
