Today I got home from work and I decided to watch the Battlestar Galactica special on Space because my prof was one of the panelists - and it was quite hilarious. Then I watched a spectacular episode of Dollhouse and it was great because Joss Whedon's voice really did start coming through in this episode and I love Helo (Tahmoh Penikett). He's known as Helo in BSG but he's one of the main characters in Dollhouse - it's just easier to address him as Helo. What a great stinkin' name.
So now I feel like a freaking fifteen year old - lookit me I love teevee characters. Actually Dollhouse - although somewhat conceptually ripped off from a William Gibson idea in Neuromancer/a Johnny Mnemonic character (see backstory of Molly Millions) - is a veritable ocean of possibility. All of the minute pebbles that have been strewn throughout the first five episodes have converged to drive the plot forward and make it a more enjoyable....a more satisfyingly Whedon-esque intrigue. I like that there's something of a nod to Firefly in there with the character that played Badger as an FBI agent. The character of Topher is a mix of Wash/Kaylee and wholly reminds me of my friend H. Especially with the food references. Ha. It's nice to be following something current because House is really starting to get maybe boring? And that's hard for me to say.
