Dollhouse...?
« on: October 31, 2007, 09:32:18 PM »
Fox's Description about the show Dollhouse:

Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo's burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.

This looks fan-fricken-tastic. It's like a sci-fi behind the scenes version of Fantasy Island. Or something.

From the E Online interview:

"The idea is those with the money or connections can access this secret highly illegal facility where they can basically fulfill their greatest fantasies. Most people assume that means sex—and on an occasion it does, because that is a lot of people's fantasies—but it's basically scenarios. They can basically reenact scenarios of romance, adventure or anything perfectly, because they become the person that you want them to be—they become that person. They don't act like that person, they are not a robot pretending, they become that person, and then they forget all about it. The problem is the character of Echo, Eliza Dushku's character, stops forgetting. She doesn't completely remember, but she does realize she is a person, and that she might have been a person before she did this, and she doesn't know what that is."
Everything in its right place...

I find it interesting they are working with Fox for this - but...Fox has a lot of cash. 

It sounds awesome.  I'm super excited.

I can't wait.  Joss is back baby!

I sorta picture this show having an Alias type feel to it where each week Echo/Sydney is taking on some new task and cover story.  Except she'll actually be that person not just faking it and it will have better characters cause it's Joss.

Hopefully Fox doesn't get cancel happy this time.

I will definitely be adding this to the list of shows I watch. The shows premise is to intriguing to pass up.
