Whedonesque : Comments on 20283 : Eliza Dushku reveals that Dollhouse talks are going on.

She's enthusiastic enough to tweet about it, that can't be "bad".

With upfronts next week, if FOX was leaning toward cancelling, I doubt there'd be any "talks" to discuss. They're looking for a reason to renew.

KingofCretins | May 12, 16:33 CET

I've got a reason... dollhouse is awesome!

mortimer | May 12, 16:36 CET

mortimer, that's certainly enough reason for me, but I bet Fox (the network) is looking for another. My personal hope is that the DVD presales are strong enough that Fox (the studio) is willing to cut the price substantially, piquing renewal interest from Fox (the network). I'm hoping the two Foxes are haggling over the price as we speak.

skeeler | May 12, 16:42 CET

Okay, so perhaps her previous tweet was, in fact, about Dollhouse. I had given up all hope of a renewal, so it's nice to know there's even a remote possibility.

Miracle Laurie (how awesome is her name?) twittered this a bit ago: hasn't given up hope for her beautiful show! THANK U everyone for your continued love and support! Keep it up. Have a beautiful day!

Wyndam_ | May 12, 16:44 CET

One of these days, I'll realise something is important enough to post on the front page, instead of just posting it in comments sections as soon as it happened :P

ThorpeWithoutShrimp | May 12, 16:45 CET

I have a reason: FOX paid Eliza lots of money, told her to go out, and develop an opportunity for a show for them. She said *okay* then in an interview she said *if I was returning to tv it had to be with Joss* so I think she wouldn't do anything else for them. IMHO anyways.

That and the show is amazing.

That's good news to me.
I wish Big purple would chime in...

lordsketch | May 12, 17:02 CET

I hope there's a second season. It will be fantastico!

-DED- | May 12, 17:02 CET

Paging the Purple Penner, or the Purple Penman, The Purple Publisher?
The way I feel about this kind of stuff is give the writer a chance to end it. That's what I wanted with TSCC, just give them 2-3 episodes to finish up. I'm still most saddened about Drive, that is the one I have never gotten over, I just want it to wrap up a bit.

Stargyn | May 12, 17:09 CET

"What would S2 look like?" is maybe the interesting question here. With Ballard working for the Dollhouse and Alpha out of the shadows, it could potentially reinvent itself into a rather different show.

Certainly if Whedon and co. don't have a strong concept for a full season, I can't imagine Fox even considering renewing.

nasarius | May 12, 17:09 CET

nasarius, I seem to remember reading that, when Joss pitched the show, he had several seasons worth of general outline, and detailed plans for the first few eps. Am I making that up or did it actually happen?

skeeler | May 12, 17:13 CET

This is good news! They've repeatedly stated that the show's only chance to survive is with some "creative financing," so this implies that somebody - the studio or maybe some other entity like DirectTV - is trying to negotiate a way to help bring the show back. At least that's my best guess.

jkalderash | May 12, 17:13 CET

I think Fox WANTS to renew the show. But it has to make financial sense, so they're searching their heads for a financial solution to help them do what their heart has already decided is the right decision.

Call me a Fox apologist, but I think Fox is on our side.

SteveP | May 12, 17:14 CET

I remember reading that Joss would make season 2 much darker.... so I think they do have a strong concept.

flugufrelsarinn | May 12, 17:14 CET

You're correct, skeeler. He had a five-season plan--the networks pretty much require it in pitching a show, to ensure it can sustain itself--and then details for... I think seven episodes? Maybe I'm just thinking of the original episode order there, but I seem to recall he had come up with outlines and stuff too.

Jobo | May 12, 17:15 CET

SteveP, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that Fox is on our side, but they DID show 12 episodes, all in the right order, and all in the same timeslot. Certainly, they've treated the show much better than Firefly. (*sniff*) You might argue that they could have promoted the show better or put it on a better night, but they didn't completely screw the series over. The fact that they are even considering renewing the show, in the face of the ratings, indicates that someone there likes and believes in the show. Come to think of it, I at least partially agree with you; SOMEONE at FBC is on our side.

Septimus | May 12, 17:17 CET

The thought alone, that they didn't send the show to the attic considering the ratings is pretty clear, they're really trying, and that's a nice thing to know while waiting

maz | May 12, 17:22 CET

OMG Septimus, I just said the same thing, even before I logged on.

Can it be Friday already?!

madmolly | May 12, 17:24 CET

Stargyn, I'm right with you on Drive!

cronopiogal | May 12, 17:24 CET

maz, I totally agree, I don't know who said it earlier but I feel like Fox is on our side. They won't blindly throw it back onto television without a plan or money potential but they let it run from start to finish (Epitaph One withstanding but that seems like not their bad). They didn't cancel it 5 episodes in so I am happy on average.

Stargyn | May 12, 17:25 CET

cronopioal, yay! Drive was my first love lost on television. I caught everything else on DVD so I was mostly scared that they would end it prematurely. I still would kill for the 6-7 episodes that we didn't see.

Stargyn | May 12, 17:27 CET

I wonder if Fox might renew Dollhouse just to prove that they will give shows like this a chance and to stop the talk from the start of shows like Dollhouse being doomed. That shadow has been hanging over Dollhouse since it first was announced, and it's going to continue hanging over any genre show Fox greenlights to take it's place.

It's going to keep being difficult for Fox to launch genre shows when the fans are convinced the show will be cancelled, and cancellation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Although Fox has given Dollhouse a full season, a renewal would give a lot more confidence to viewers that shows like Dollhouse aren't automatically doomed.

FaithFan | May 12, 17:28 CET

Drive really got a bad deal. They were on the air for only two weeks (2 eps aired back to back on Sunday, then 1 the next day, then 1 a week later on Monday). Originally they were scheduled to air out the filmed 6 episodes and go on hiatus, but they got pulled early. The saddest thing is that only 6 episodes were ever filmed, and the show was really starting to show some potential.

I'm also disappointed they never put The Inside on DVD. I still want to see the unaired (in US) episodes. I'm not as much a fan of procedurals, and I hate gorey violent stuff, but I could force myself to stomach it for the excellent character studies in that show.

AnotherFireflyfan | May 12, 17:34 CET

I had a post here about something else that I don't think existed so ignore this. I'll just say something about Dollhouse I guess. I am so grateful that with the DVD's we will get hours of Joss and Co. The pilot, the other finale, in the past few years we've gotten way more Joss tan it seems. Dr. Horrible, and Commentary, and Dollhouse. Previous to that the best we had gotten in a one year span was Serenity, a great movie, but only an hour or two of Joss and Co. We have gotten so much this year, gooooo us!!!
Am I right?

Okay, so. I'm choosing to be optimistic about this. I am hoping not to be burned.

UnpluggedCrazy | May 12, 17:45 CET

I am also concerned by my optimism.

Stargyn | May 12, 17:56 CET

My optimism is worrying me. I'd be more hopeful if I were pessimistic.

skeeler | May 12, 18:03 CET

Optimism about Dollhouse feels funny.

Sunfire | May 12, 18:06 CET

I still have my pessimistic group of friends who will *only watch if it's picked up for more than one season* waiting.

edcsLover9 | May 12, 18:09 CET

That shadow has been hanging over Dollhouse since it first was announced, and it's going to continue hanging over any genre show Fox greenlights to take it's place.

Actually, I think the first Save Dollhouse campaigns started even before Fox moved Dollhouse to Friday, at a time where there was absolutely no reason to think they would screw the show over, at a time where it was paired with 24 on Monday and stuff like that. (I'm not implying that Fox eventually did screw them over.) What I mean: No matter how well a show is treated by Fox, the fandom will picnic when it wants to picnic. Renewing Dollhouse won't prevent anything in the future in this regard, imo.

Also, there's a counterexample of Fringe. A genre show that was treated nicely (like Dollhouse), and nobody panicked ever over it. Because Abrams is not Whedon.

wiesengrund | May 12, 18:16 CET

Also, there's a counterexample of Fringe. A genre show that was treated nicely (like Dollhouse), and nobody panicked ever over it. Because Abrams is not Whedon.

Not to mention the fact JJ Abrams had better luck with two shows on ABC, Lost and Alias. We, meanwhile, still remember the Firefly affair.
But if Dollhouse does have a round 2, put Echo and her pals on Mondays at 9 to keep the spot warm for 24, then maybe Tuesday at nine. The way this would work is if we have a season that has two major story arcs, like Heroes is trying to do on NBC. The first half would end just after December, then the second half would pickup in mid-January after the cheesy audition shows Idol starts with. While that writer from Time suggests the show should be a mini-series next fall, I think it can be two mini-series, one after the other. One can be about Echo, while the other can emphasize the other Actives.
We shall see.

impalergeneral | May 12, 18:29 CET

I don't think darker is the way to go if the point is to convince FOX that they'll do a stronger rating in Season 2. On the contrary, I think the much more positive statement of "Omega" was the most likely to engage a broader audience.

As for format changes, I think Ballard chasing Alpha, adjusting to the Dollhouse, and the likely very bizarre dynamic between he and "Echo" would be a good place to start. Less story time spent on the engagements themselves and more spent on the tension between those in the Dollhouse asking questions about Rossum and those trying to deflect them.

KingofCretins | May 12, 18:47 CET

I'll take this as a good sign but still be realistic about the actual chances of a renewal.

Ameer | May 12, 18:49 CET

Didn't the "darker" comment get described by someone else as meaning Joss was literally talking the look of the show?

The One True b!X | May 12, 18:49 CET

Let's not forget about what Dr. Saunders discovered about herself. That could lead to interesting possibilities.
But if we do get a second season, it may be 13 episodes. Other shows, like "Heroes" and "Medium" are due back but less than the usual 22-episode order. But as long as they are back, that is what counts.
Oh, and let Joss be Joss, Tim be Tim, etc.

impalergeneral | May 12, 18:59 CET

KingofCretins is on the money.

Well, there's not actually any money. But if there was, he'd be on it.

UnpluggedCrazy | May 12, 18:59 CET

Again, my hopes, they keep going up. Now is this upward momentum actually genuine, or should I prepare myself for a steep drop next monday? Like the escalator to nowhere in the Simpsons?

CarpeNoctem | May 12, 19:09 CET

This innocent tweeting sure does travel... Keep spreading my words guys, I'm on the road & need my Browncoats! ;)

J.I.G. | May 12, 20:00 CET

Eliza's tweet raises a question: What are Dollhouse fans called? Not dolls, surely. Actives, perhaps?

skeeler | May 12, 20:04 CET

I still vote for "Clients", because it fits the meta and is slightly disturbing.

The One True b!X | May 12, 20:06 CET

Mannequins.

Simon | May 12, 20:11 CET

I don't want to be slightly disturbing. Slightly disturbed, clearly I have no problem with.

Sunfire | May 12, 20:11 CET

Mannequins still sounds kinda odd to me... but we could adopt Victor as our mascot.

Sunfire | May 12, 20:12 CET

You can call yourselves whatever you want. I'm going to walk around calling myself a client of Dollhouse.

The One True b!X | May 12, 20:13 CET

Mannequins still sounds kinda odd to me

If you've ever played Condemned on the Xbox 360, there's this brilliant level set in a deserted department store. The mannequins there are tres creepy.

Simon | May 12, 20:15 CET

Considering the only tv franchises I can think of at the moment with one-word nicknames for their fandoms were all cancelled in their original incarnations, I think "people who watch Dollhouse" is just fine.

brinderwalt | May 12, 20:17 CET

When I was little I had a dream of walking down an aisle in a department store, passing a mannequin, and having it slowly turn its head and smile at me, then I woke up. Remains one of the scariest dreams I've ever had.

The One True b!X | May 12, 20:19 CET

Oh my Simon, I know exactly what you're talking about. CREEPY much?

At first I was thinking of the name Ballards, but... he's trying to bring DOWN the Dollhouse. I like Actives too, because we're all on a mission here.

Jes | May 12, 20:23 CET

I just don't think the show has coined anything yet that is catchy enough for a fandom name.

Maybe it will next season...

flugufrelsarinn | May 12, 20:26 CET

Oh! Sleepies!!

Jes | May 12, 20:26 CET

How about Sleepies? 'Cause we're all dreaming of a season 2.

I kind of like the idea of Paul and Boyd on the run, looking for Alpha, but Paul starts to stalk Madeline (is that Mellie's name) and loses sight of Alpha. OH! And more back story on Saunders. And ANY back story on Topher.

I love all this fandom stuff. Seriously, it's so much fun.

Harmalicious | May 12, 20:28 CET

How about Boyd's backstory? And how about we find out more about Rossum and their true motives?

I don't know what's appropriate, but I say we all greet like Topher and his once-a-year friend.

Pretty_Hate_Machine | May 12, 20:49 CET

Well there's always the possibility to see some kind of new scooby gang with Paul, Boyd, Topher, Adelle and the actives fighting a common ennemy who could be alpha but also maybe a new dollhouse placed on another city and ruled by Wolfram & Harts :)

The Engaged. Sleepies. Mannequins. Clients. Actives.

It amuses me that Eliza would associate anything "innocent" with herself. I can't not think of her and Faith being forever intertwined.

Buffy lasted seven years, despite our being known as Bronzers. And what were Angel fans called?

CrazyKidBen | May 12, 21:09 CET

How about True Souls.
Because we all know that Actives are the truest souls there are.

As for greeting - "Blue Skies."

barboo | May 12, 21:10 CET

I like "Sleepies." It's a bit obscure unless you've watched every episode closely, so its an in-joke. And it's not as obvious (and therefore lame) as "Dolls" or "Actives" or w/e.
Yah, I vote Sleepies.

CarpeNoctem | May 12, 21:15 CET

Buffy lasted seven years, despite our being known as Bronzers. And what were Angel fans called?

I was thinking of the traditional science fiction genre (ie. no outright magic) which Dollhouse is an example of.

Or, we could ditch a name and use a symbol. In some fields of science, the omega symbol stands for "ohm" or electrical resistence. For this reason, many scientists who worked for the government during the Vietnam War wore omega pins to quietly signify their opposition to the war.

Resistence. Opposition. Maybe we should ditch a name and just use Ω. ;)

And if we just used the omega symbol they'd think we were opposed to the building of high tension power lines, or even high torsion ones. (Yes, as usual I'm referring to a 70s TV movie. Gag me with a disco ball if it bugs ya :-).)

Again, the purpose of commercial television is to sell products. If you want your favorite programs to survive, the best thing to do is patronize television sponsors, which is a very practical way to vote for your favorite program.

Peanut Noir | May 12, 23:51 CET

Well than Fox is going to have to start recognizing Hulu, seeing as it's 50% of the commercials on in prime-time shows... I mean count it because we use their product or count it because we watch their show on it, or both, but the internet is real you cannot pretend much longer.

Thus in coming up with why Dollhouse should survive based on it's advertisements I claim I am "King of the Thread!"

GVH | May 13, 00:02 CET

I don't want to post this because it's mostly a rehash of stuff we already know, but Airlock Alpha reports that "at least one executive is rumored to be in love with a possible Monday night pairing of 'Dollhouse' and a show the network is said to be picking up, the DC Comics-based 'Human Target,' which could attract similar audiences."

http://www.airlockalpha.com/news426344.html

GVH | May 13, 00:28 CET

That Airlock Alpha article is killing me! I can't bear to get my hopes up -- even slightly -- because it's too depressing given the unlikeliness of the show coming back.

And yet, the article captures something that I've been sensing: FOX wants to bring the show back, and they're looking for reasons why, in different streams of revenue and new-media applications. I've done my bit: re-watched the show on hulu.com, pre-ordered the DVDs, etc. Now the ball is in the network's court; will they defy convention and renew a show with dismal ratings or will they trash it and move on?

dottikin | May 13, 00:40 CET

I vote for Actives because of its double meaning: Dollhouse allusion & our 'active' online support for the show & its cast & crew.

hence | May 13, 01:41 CET

I hate to be a downer but I just can't see how it could get renewed when it was losing viewers even after it got really good. I mean the season finale dropped to less than 3 million, the lowest ever. Was Friday Night Lights that low? I'd love to be wrong about this. But if the show can't retain it's numbers, what reason could there be to renew it? I'm not getting my hopes up at all.

Squishy | May 13, 01:41 CET

Variety is now reporting that it is a possibility and that Dollhouse fans should not give up.

TamaraC | May 13, 02:08 CET

The question is whether or not the viewers Dollhouse is losing according to the Nielsen ratings are watching it online or recording it. I think Fox understands that the the main demographic Dollhouse is aimed at is not home on Fridays. In May, there's even more to do - big movies openings, vacations, school events, etc.

Typically networks have to program Fridays to appeal to people who are home - families with young kids and older people. Those aren't exactly the prized demographics for advertisers.

The chance that Dollhouse has is that it can get so-so ratings, but get the core demo to tune in via Hulu or TiVo it. So, if there's an uptick in those numbers while the Nielsen numbers go down, it might not be looked on as being bad.
