Now all of us Joss Whedon addicts out there who have watched the Buffy, Angel, and Firefly dvds to the point of total saturation can take hope: his new show has some major Hype!
"The buzz surrounding Joss Whedon's new sci-fi series Dollhouse is building, as fansites pop up and script pages are leaked. This show doesn't even exist yet, but rabid fans are already collecting every single tiny minute remnant of news and speculation surrounding it."
Ok, I have to admit that Eliza Dushku was my least favorite Buffy character (Faith,) but I am interested to see Amy Acker return after her character development as Fred/Illyria was thwarted by the cancellation of Angel. Whew, that last sentence was some serious sci-fi geekout, no? Anyway, here's a summary:
"Eliza Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as 'Actives' or 'Dolls' who 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. 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."
And, of course, there's a blog to keep fans up-to-date on the latest and greatest.
