(SPOILER)
Video of on-set Dollhouse April Fool's joke.
It's incredibly spoiler heavy for an upcoming episode so best avoid if you want to stay unspoiled for the show. (Facebook account req. to view the video btw). ETA: Video has now been removed.

phlebotinin: Eliza's shooting a scene and walks through a door and is "attacked" by someone in a bear costume. Sorry you can't see it.

I'm not believing anything today unless I've heard about it before, okay? XD
Our newspapers and news on Tv all have gags as well, sooo... Heh.

So,uh. FOX is really taking a devil-may-care attitude with Dollhouse spoilers on their Facebook page, huh?

The video shows Echo in the imprinting room, only she's wearing street clothes and Topher asks if she wants a treatment, not Boyd. Then she gets in the chair and we see there's someone else in the room... Ballard. Topher says he's imprinting Echo so that she can speak another language. Ballard says something I can't quite understand, and Topher says Ballard knows what he's doing, which seems to imply that Ballard is undercover as a client, perhaps. But wouldn't Topher know what Ballard looks like? Anyway, then Echo wakes up and speaks a foreign tongue. Topher can't understand her. Then she goes to leave and there's a guy dressed in a bear suit. That's the supposed prank.

You never know. Now that Paul's more or less booted, Adelle could've offered him a job. Keep your enemies closer, and all.

Are you saying the Bones one is spoiler? I fail to see how that's true. It's what you'd get from a preview of next weeks' ep that doesn't reveal the big surprises.
For it to be a true Bones spoiler it would have to reveal the murderer of the episode prematurely or some significant plot development between the characters (like a hook-up, break-up, etc). But this one is just like the House one where they're going back 'n forth about an ill patient in front of the elevator. Seen it a hundred times.

However, the Bones clip really was funny; the DH one not so much, and the TSCC one not really funny at all.
Dana5140 | April 01, 17:23 CET
Unless.....
They did do a lot for Dollhouse. They wrote a whole "scene" with a "Spoiler" that just happened to be "Leaked" to the net for just long enough for a handful of people to see it and start freaking out.
Which makes me wonder about the photos that were "Leaked" a few days ago, also with a huge "Spoiler" that also were on the net just long enough to be spotted before they were taken down.
Could both these be very clever missleads?

'cause...I know I remember seeing that, and I know I haven't seen it so far. So...were the promos considered spoilers, or teasers?
As for MySpace & Facebook & all those other "public diary" sites people use - if the creator makes it private, or by invite only, or however else they limit it, then it's not available for everyone to view. Some of those sites, I know, only allow registered users to view the entries. And I have no need nor interest in making an account at any of them just so I can read someone's blog or see their video. I'd love to see the tribute vid about Andy that was linked further down, but 1) dial-up and B) see above re: registering.
Not everyone is "hooked in" these days.
ShadowQuest | April 01, 21:35 CET
If it all that's stopping people from seeing it is free registration, then no. We've doing that at Whedonesque since year dot.

But yeah, shouldn't happen.
On the other hand: Judging by the director (David Dolomon), this is probably from episode 9, "Spy in the House of Love", so not that far down the road as it could have been.

And although I've read all of the reactions here, I'm going to watch it now.
J.I.G. | April 02, 05:04 CET
I think we're all over-reacting here. Some spoilery stuff is good for the soul. I think it's interesting to see what we saw and makes me even more excited about the remaining episodes for this season.
Simon, I did not think that. I thought something different, but since I don't know how to hide what I'm saying, I'll be quiet.

If that's correct, the payoff's kinda delayed, though. Unless sending us spiralling like this is itself the payoff....

Angel TheVampire | April 02, 12:52 CET
As to it still airing last night I think the reason for that is that it would have been uploaded to the satellite the night before. Not to say that it couldn't be changed but that it may have required too much of an effort for it to be reasonable.
DaisyButtercup | April 02, 12:55 CET
*said with snark*
korkster | April 02, 13:09 CET
The fact that that's exactly the same thing that happened with the other spoiler just makes it even more suspicious.

korkster | April 02, 15:59 CET
Let's be realistic here: they put a not-funny prank in the middle of a spoiler-rific scene and then put it all over the internet and airwaves.
I've never credited FOX with an overabundance of brains.
And so I'm not going to let it ruin my day. I'm going to continue to enjoy Dollhouse for as long as FOX keeps the show on the air and Joss keeps Paul Ballard shirtless.
That is all.
