What is Fox calling the next two episodes that you find objectionable?

TartFuel | October 24, 07:39 CET

I'd just like them to be simply called the next two Dollhouse episodes not an "event". I don't trust Fox.

Simon | October 24, 07:42 CET

Wow. The whole series is shifting into the gear of brilliance for it's final lap. Love it. Love Miracle. Love Summer. Love the 15 feet joke. December can't come soon enough.

curlymynci | October 24, 07:45 CET

And look, there's Maurissa.

The One True b!X | October 24, 07:47 CET

Kilooooooooooooo!

The two hour event is the sales pitch for the next 6 episodes.

gossi | October 24, 08:00 CET

"Dollhouse is taking some time off..." sounds like a PR rep when a movie star goes to rehab or something. Ha. Looks great though.

bonzob | October 24, 08:08 CET

For some reason that reminded me of the jawdropping "have they no shame?" promo that The WB aired at the end of 'Not Fade Away'.

"lets play"

Oh boy.

Krusher | October 24, 08:15 CET

That sleeper doll thing was a pretty major spoiler for a promo...

Yey for Summer, Mo and Miracle!!!

maxsummers | October 24, 08:16 CET

Maybe they were thinking people had already guessed it.

azzers | October 24, 08:19 CET

Or maybe it isn't about who we think it is.

The One True b!X | October 24, 08:20 CET

Ooo a misleading promo. Can they do that?

azzers | October 24, 08:27 CET

LOL, Summer Glau looks like she is channeling Shirley Manson/Weaver from Terminator in that trailer. I thought she was going to do a Topher.

Trailer looks promising. Can't wait to find out why November would ____ or what happens with Wesley and where Summer Glau fits in.

Donnie | October 24, 08:32 CET

Someone might want to tell Fox that that Dollhouse does not air next week.

TV Guide still has both the 10/30 and 11/6 episodes complete with descriptions up on their website. Kind of makes one wonder if thy still may change their minds. You know, again.

CrazyKidBen | October 24, 08:52 CET

TV listings are going to lag, given the suddeness. FOX lags itself because their web people are two interns in a Romanian forest yurt.

The One True b!X | October 24, 08:58 CET

I'm glad the sleeper thing is out there. Considering it was done with Mellie/November (done very well, of course), the shock value is officially gone and it would just be an exploitation of the audience. The first time was great, and I'm glad it isn't about surprise for the second time.

GoldDust12 | October 24, 10:03 CET

Are they talking about Summer Glau's character with the "sleeper" thing though, or Senator Perrin's wife ? Was that her in the promo ? I saw a short-haired blonde who looked wifey.

Kris | October 24, 10:13 CET

And the yurt web-people keep goats, so they have other commitments too.

bubblecat | October 24, 11:02 CET

SyFy did it all the time with Battlestar! So I don't see why FOX couldn't do it with Dollhouse. That'd be cool. I LOVE misleading promos, hehe.

CZGoldEdition | October 24, 12:30 CET

I have mixed feelings about the December double-headers. While I love seeing more Dollhouse, carving 2 hours away from my family (who's not into Dollhouse) will be tough. As-is, we go to a Friday dinner and easily make it home by nine. But getting home by 8... that's harder.

I wonder if this earlier start-time will hurt ratings?

SteveP | October 24, 14:00 CET

Just want to say that's a good promo. Maybe the best Fox has done. Maybe WhyIWatch has inspired someone. Besides us.

Pointy | October 24, 16:52 CET

The trailers at the end of episodes have generally been better than the commercials.

The One True b!X | October 24, 18:20 CET

Yeep. Looks like Summer plays a real creeper in these episodes. I can't wait! Like seriously. I can't. *cries*

ShanshuBugaboo | October 24, 22:58 CET

Simon, calling the broadcasting of two episodes back to back an "event" is a good thing. Calling it an event makes it seem more important that just a regular episode.

Fox may not be trying very hard - they at least are trying a little.

TartFuel | October 24, 23:11 CET

Oooowww...That two-parter looks great! I can't wait! Need to see it.! *Now* :)

Little Green Kid | October 24, 23:12 CET

In HD.

The One True b!X | October 25, 00:04 CET

Why don't they air the trailers as the commercials then? I don't think I've seen an oridinary Dollhouse commercial before, because other than Dollhouse I don't watch television. Does anyone have a link to some? I'm curious to see just how terrible they are.

CZGoldEdition | October 25, 00:40 CET

Thanks for the HD, b!x!

ShanshuBugaboo | October 25, 00:43 CET

I still suspect that Madeline is the sleeper. Unless that's the obvious thing, in which case I assume they mean the wife? Who was sort of suspicious already? Maybe Echo's the sleeper? Sierra is, and is off screen? Are the "she" in danger and "she" who's sleeping the same? Oh third person pronouns, you add so much intrigue...

Other interesting points raised: Are they gonna be forced to use the writers as extras now to save money? I sorta wished Mo would play a bigger role than active #3...
Did Topher get a haircut? (And on this point, has Fran and/or Topher always had freckles? I never really noticed until some point during Belonging which seemed like they were punching up his youthy amoral innocence)
What's up with Summer's wry "aw shucks I'm evil" smirk? That and the cute barrette make me think Little Rascals so I'm rather curious...

Then as for the "event" billing, maybe it'll be sufficient to trick non-watchers into checking out the series and they might be able to get over the baggage of "I've never checked this series out" or "there are six attractive women/four attractive men in this series where they're talking about killing people and wacky physical humor antics!"

In any case, it seems like it might be a bit draining to sit through two episodes of this in a row if it maintains the quality/content of these last two episodes in particular. Guest stars, statues, serial killers, short skirts, pseudo-science, stabbing, swynking, psychiatric stints, more stabbing, storms, sulfuric acid...

orangewaxlion | October 25, 09:29 CET

If by draining you mean awesome and that I'm going to be flailing the entire two hours and probably won't be able to sleep for the next day or so out of pure excitement, then yes. It will be quite draining.

It can't be December soon enough!

CZGoldEdition | October 25, 09:40 CET

I can't see the sleeper being Senator Perrins wife. They seem to have been married for at least a few years and he's only recently apparently come onto the Dollhouse's radar/become a threat.

Progressive_Stupidity | October 25, 17:59 CET

I just watched the Promo, BAD Summer, BAD.

bubblecat | October 25, 18:34 CET

Maurissa got paid for this episode (to appear in it). They are not using writers to save money as suggested above.

gossi | October 25, 19:34 CET

Cannot wait for December Dollhouse nights!
