actually, the dollhouse pilot has already been shot. i have it in my hands.
unfortunately, it is coded and would cost me my job if i posted it. i love
you all, but it's not worth my mortgage.
fox, cw & cbs released fall pilot screeners this year. unfortunately, due to
the writer's strike, abc and nbc did not.

it was very much like early x-files, although there was way to much on-screen
kissing with cheesy music... no man enjoys that unless it's girl on girl, and
they're both hot. still i have high hopes for improvement and i can't wait to
see more episodes

one of the best pilot's i've ever seen. ticks every box. dismiss the critics
taking swipes at petty things like realism, it's science fiction you chimps!

the basic premise: an elite team investigating threats to american security
that involve "fringe" science or fortean events, is solid. even pulling out a
discredited scientist from an insane asylum in which he languished for 20
years after working for the federal govt and re-investing him with his lab and
mission works...what didn't work for me was the time frame. everything that
was done, all the plot points, including the fbi agent allowing herself to be
a test subject in order to save her lover's life, would have been conceivable
if there had been more chronological time in the plot for: the scientist to
regain his mental health, for the son to evaluate his dad, for the fbi agent
to become comfortable enough with both the scientist and his theories to take
lsd along with other drugs and have an electrode put in her brain in order
to... but that would be a spoiler, so i can't continue!
to sum up- the plot was extreme but i could have accepted it if things
developed over a period of a month, but in the space of 48 hours or so... no
way!
on the other hand... i am a big fan of charles fort, john keel, and fortean
events in general. so i'll continue to watch it for the time being.

the people hating on this show are some of the whiniest little hypocrites i've
ever heard from...
how many times can you sit there and say "x-files was such a great show, i wish
it was still around, or at least have another show like it" ??... then
another show just like it comes out, and all you can say is "this shit is
ripping off the x-files" ??
well damn, kids... you can't have it both ways!
on another note; here it is days later, and people are still whining about a
very minor scene thrown in for the background, which you misunderstood in the
first place. if you are going to bitch about something, shouldn't you at least
get it right?.... of course i'm talking about the people complaining about the
phrase in german. the lady spoke in german, the man said he didn't speak german,
and so in response she 'dumbed it down' so that he might understand.
but i guess some of you don't even understand things that have been simplified
for you.

loved the way they presented the setting captions in that cool
blocky font. very comic booky feel.
seriously? it reminded me of word 97 3d art... and even back then, that was
definitely bad.
anyway, loved the pilot. probably one of the best pilots in the last few
years... some things will surely be polished by the time it actually airs.

oh i was right to be suspicious. what a total waste of production money. sure,
if you have no good writers/directors/producers etc you can just throw a lot of
money on special effects. if i hadn't seen some of the actors before i'd think
they sucked. it's really sad to see talent and millions of dollars go to waste.
and to the people comparing this to the x-files. at least that started out with
well written characters and dialog before it sank into that mess it eventually
evolved to. plus it was original for its time. *this* is not.

just watched this, didn't do anything for me, same old paranoia theme.
the place settings hanging in the air was boring, the ending predictable.
unless this is up against nothing else i won't bother because i think it will
get canned like everything else they put on the air.

agreed on the german. it's just silly to get that wrong.
even low-budget stargate sg-1 has an episode where the daniel jackson character
speaks german, and he does that quite well.
have a native speaker record it and learn the few sentences phonetically, geez.
hehe, i think that's on purpose, you've been fooled .. if you guys had paid
attention you would have noticed that the guy she's speaking with 'dies ist mein
erste flug' answers in english that he already told her that he is from denmark
.. in other words, she's making small talk in german, assuming that the man next
to her is german, but it's not her native language, hence the bad german
and indeed, this could become a good series, lots of interesting elements that
could go anywhere
