Who's taking bets on either the factory or the colourful place is the attic ? So obvious nobody thinks it. ;p

Although I can't say I'm happy with the Olivia change. Joss, let her grow it out again or style it differently please :P

Anyone else notice that Boyd & Paul's shadows in that group pic are going behind and to their right, Eliza's is going towards the viewer, and the rest are going ahead and to the left? Interesting lighting in that place.
What does Eliza's tattoo say? I can't make it out in that promo pic at the bottom.
And that Echo-with-a-Gun-in-a-Dollhouse....thud.
That's the sound I'd make if I tried to wear those wicked boots.

I am officially smitten with Victor, Adelle, Topher and Sierra in that order.
curlymynci | August 20, 22:04 CET
Well, I notice that she's holding her gun (= phallic) right at her groin... paging Dr. Freud! So where does that put me?
ManEnoughToAdmitIt | August 20, 22:23 CET
And **SPOILERS**, they all cast a shadow ! Great, now we know none of them are vampires, way to go Simon/B!x. And no tag in sight, sheesh ...
Aaahhhh, *happy sigh*. The return of the safecracking boots ;).
I like the Eliza pictures in the dollhouse, the dark, slightly racy clothes (and gun) clash well with the surroundings.
The rest of the photos aren't as interesting but luckily the people in them are crazy good-looking (Dichen in the sort of sunburst print dress especially).

I could see what they were trying to do with the light, ethereal feel of the season 1 promo pics but they just didn't work for me the way these ones do.
I'm also disappointed that there aren't any sexy pics of Miracle Laurie this time around!

Btw b!X's graphic is ace.

Joss' love for The Matrix knows no bounds.
Simon | August 21, 01:56 CET
I was actually thinking about this the other day. How do you make Dollhouse - well - work?
Answer: Matrix it up a bit. The first season, to me, was about hate. I've said this before. The characters all hate each other - except maybe Topher and Boyd (they had the slashy internal hatefest). Late season two or three, to me, should be edging into Epitaph One timeline. Have them working together. Have them loading Echo up with mad skills and kickin' the shit out of the viewers face.

Chuck season 3?

I want to see Adelle's reaction to Rossum when they get to stealin' Victor. Fight tech with tech, that's what I'd do.
gossi | August 21, 02:53 CET
It already does
Let Down | August 21, 03:00 CET
They've already done this to some extent. Paul actually has something to do in season two, for example.

Personally, season 2 seems a bit early for Echo to become "weaponised" but if the end-point is her becoming a total person then it's a natural step along the way (and I suspect that Eliza kicking ass - preferably in those boots if there's any way at all she could keep her balance ;) - would get many more bums on seats) and if that's not the end-point (as E1 and possibly 'Omega' seem to suggest) then why not use her, in that sort of war any active would make a more or less perfect soldier.
There's a nice symmetry in using Echo to defend Caroline's right to existence by effectively removing Echo's right to the same, if the show (and Echo) didn't seem to be saying Echo < Caroline then it's be a great tragic arc.
I want to see Adelle's reaction to Rossum when they get to stealin' Victor. Fight tech with tech, that's what I'd do.
It'd be entertaining to watch. And they could screw with Adelle by having the technology escape because she fought fire with fire.
What I think would be cool would be the original and the imprint "talking" to each other, like the imprint becomes a sort of internal wingman/tutor. Admittedly this is partly because I believe the natural end-point of all fiction should be "Rogue Trooper".
Saje | August 21, 03:14 CET
Oh, definitely. I think the last three episodes are great, in particular Omega and Epitaph One for kickin' it up a bit. But I still think the audience can fall in love - I mean, complete fan love - with those characters. There's a whole other level there.
There's been all sorts of arguments about why Dollhouse got renewed from a financial point of view, but I think the biggest one which gets lost is this: it can be so much better of a show. Pretty sure it will be, too. I know with a lot of shows they say 'There's so much you can do with these characters!', but in the Dollverse I think that is actually true. They don't need to have a how-Adelle-got-her-tattoos episode or Topher-flying-a-kite. They get to do how-far-will-Boyd-go-to-save-Claire.
I absolutely think the reason the show hasn't yet had the kind of love thrown at Firefly is purely down to audience connection to the characters. There's no reason they can't fix that.
gossi | August 21, 03:31 CET
And as the season goes, find out more on who is really pulling the strings.
Simon | August 21, 03:33 CET
I absolutely think the reason the show hasn't yet had the kind of love thrown at Firefly is purely down to audience connection to the characters. There's no reason they can't fix that.
I agree about the connection thing gossi, I reckon it is a big part of what put folk off BUT I disagree that it (now) needs fixing and I also disagree with the implication that it was initially broken rather than just emerging gradually (you may know more about that though, straight from the horse's mouth so to speak ;).
To me the way it was hard to like (let alone love) most of the characters early on is an essential aspect of a) a genuine workplace set drama and b) what these characters are actually doing. If we instantly connect with e.g. Adelle (as we did with the Firefly characters) then we instantly think "Well, she's not all bad", it's just human nature to see the best in people we like, it kind of throws us a bone in a very morally dark/ambiguous place. I didn't want to be thrown a bone that early on, I wanted to wallow to some extent in the darkness of the idea without having the lifeline of likeable characters (likewise though, 'Echo' goes too far the other way IMO by showing her being so willing to murder Ballard, I don't want to immediately hate her either, I want, basically, to feel like I don't know her. Because at that point I shouldn't - we've just met).
(sort of same reasoning BTW, Boyd is probably the biggest conundrum in the house IMO, just because he seems so straightforwardly good and decent. Or at least, I hope he's a conundrum rather than just a very clumsy "access character" for the audience to latch onto. In the immediate future - e.g. S2E1-6 ish - I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more about why he's there)
