Random scooplets: 'Dollhouse' renewed! Jorja Fox returns! 'Housewives' finale buzz!

I’m insanely happy that Dollhouse got renewed. It’s only 13 episodes but that’s 13 more than I thought they’d get. I’ll be sad if there’s not more Amy Acker though. I heard she doing a pilot for ABC. She’s great as Whiskey.

Yea!! Dollhouse!! Great work, ladies & gents. And leave Topher alone — we still have to find out if he’s a doll — who names their kid Topher, anyhow!? Heh-heh-heh…

LOVE Topher! He’s has layers to his character that we haven’t seen uncovered yet. That’s a testament to the actor’s ability. Eliza’s acting, sorry guys, leaves me longing for them to cut “Echo” from the show. The other dolls are so much more interesting and better-acted. I know all the guys find Eliza hot especially with the skimpy costumes they put her in, but (and I do know something about acting–we shouldn’t assume that people posting here know nothing about acting) she goes thru most of the episodes like she’s in a perpetual fog (maybe that’s her idea of how a doll acts-ha).

I didn’t mind Topher — in fact, I kinda like the guy. Then again, I liked Julian Sark, too (from Alias).
But beyond basic like/don’t like, he’s _really_ one of the most interesting folks in the Dollhouse, as a character. Not just that he has an unknown past that no doubt contains plenty of twist-generating details (like DeWitt), but the character itself is more complicated.
If you can’t get past the (potentially annoying) top layer, but see only a shallow caricature, it’s because you’ve already decided that’s what you’ll see; we do have an amazing capacity for self-deception.

That’s great about “Dollhouse”. It’s a show that started a little iffy, but got better and better and by the end of the season was great (Dushku was right; at about episode 4 it began to really get its mojo). I look forward to another season. I’m glad FOX didn’t pull a “Firefly”.

It wont last long

I’m really excited to see Dollhouse return. I think another season will really give the show a chance to explore the real “purpose” of the Dollhouse; they’ve already told us there is more to it than the exploitation/fantasy-granting factor. Is it political? Religious? Militaristic? What? I must know!
