Honestly, objectively, if it wasn't Joss, I'd still be intrigued enough to give it a few more eps to make me solid fan. Watch it more, then you become solid.
Give up too soon, and you not so solid. I do not want earful until then.

Just look at J.J. Abrams as an example as to what he is able to accomplish with a successful run on TV.
Give Joss the power to do the same.

The funny was there, just very subtle. I caught a few good lines here & there, maybe it takes time to adjust to the feel of the show.
There was funny? Must have been so especially subtle that I missed it. Can you point it out for me please?

"Have you ever like, tried to actually wipe a slate clean...?"
"I'm sure it was something great."
There are others, but it's late, I'm tired, and Mr. Bond has just dropped into my bathroom.

When he's describing Miss Penn the negotiator is nearsighted and why. The last line "...and she has asthma."
Something about that line, just struck me as very Joss. It was almost like hearing him.
The funny has to be buried, so its very subtle you'll need to try to find it. FOX is not wanting funny. However Joss can't help himself. :)

Oh, I never doubted that. It has long been my opinion that she played Buffy incredibly well when, you know, they switched. I liked her Buffy more than I usually liked the regular Buffy, but that's a whole other can of worms. Throughout her journey as Faith, I thought she showed immense acting range. Actually, I never saw her in a role I thought she wasn't great in. Not that I've seen everything.
Even in the pilot, Dollhouse is giving her some major opportunity to stretch her wings. Tough, and terrified. Intelligent, efficient, and weak, back to efficient. I'd kind of like to pretend that the pointless, ridiculous, pandering opening didn't even happen, but she was pretty good in that, too.
I don't know why the stupid network wouldn't want funny (aside from the aforementioned 'stupid' part, of course) but I sure hope they clear that little hurdle. I kind of chuckled a few times, but I didn't get that tickled feeling that makes me giggle through most of a scene and then some random time the following day. I like the tickled feeling.

Second viewing: You know, it never ceases to amaze me, that whenever I see a movie or an ep over again I invariably pick up on things I miss or just jettisoned from my brain.
Well, I liked it a little better the second time around, but I still don't like the Olivia Williams as the director of the DH. I still liked Eliza's perf and Harry Lennix, as her handler, was very "solid" but I also picked up on DeWitt right hand man - he was also very good. Topher, the geeky dude, was somewhat annoying, perhaps by design, but I liked the Dr (Amy Acker?).
Still though it was a weak pilot, but I attribute that to our good friends at Fox. I did pick up on some Whedon-like dialogue along the way. I'm beginning to think that Joss slipped in a few zingers at Fox (well done Joss) for instance:
The one you picked about wiping the slate clean, "I'm sure it was something great." Or Langton's comment to DeWitt when they were going to scrub Echo after the assignment went south, he said to let her finish what she started.
More later, I'm getting sleepy.....good night.

Hmm, ok there were a couple of semi-humourous lines. I'd just like a bit more..

So would we all. If Fox allows the initial 7 to run I'm sure we'll see more Jossy goodness.
