I hold high hopes for Dollhouse season 2
seems fox will back the feck off and let the master do his stuff,

It took me while to like dollhouse mid season though it had me hooked, found first few episodes too slow.
Watched the un aired pilot on dvd and finding my self quite liking it,

makes me wonder did fox tell joss to drip feed info for first while before letting him do his thing? thoughts?

then my other question to browncoats any were is this,

dollhouse being a hit, does this have good news for the verse?
or just means joss moving more and more away from verse to keep his focus on dollhouse?

If Dollhouse is a hit then that basically means more Dollhouse.That's all in my opinion.

Peacekeeper---keeping order in every verse!!!

If Dollhouse became a massive hit, in the top 3 week-to-week, maybe it would give him enough clout to maybe, maybe revisit the 'verse.

But I kinda doubt that'll happen.

kinda what i was thinking, which in turn isnt a bad thing but be nice.

if any thing suppose might mean we see more joss shows on air if his name gets around i hope.

be nice if he was able to revist the verse,

start clean slate, set the verse 5 years from flim,
give some space for new back storyies.

be nice, but we can live in hope

We're seven years from the show, and quickly coming up on the four year anniversary of the movie. The next time we see filmed Firefly, I expect it's going to be "Firefly: the Next Generation," featuring Mal and Kaylee mentor Zoe's teenaged kid, while Simon and Inara are off involved in Core World politics, and Jayne and River have become captains in their own right...

Seriously, though, I think the changes of Firefly depend on exactly HOW successful DOLLHOUSE becomes, and the exact flavor of that success.

I TV show is a LOT of work, which means that as long as DOLLHOUSE remains "on the rise," Joss will have to devote a lot of time to the show (presumably at the expense of other projects).

If it levels off, he might be able to do more, but (as happened with Buffy), folks will probably be clamoring for him to develop another series.

The best hope for more Firefly is for Joss to become a household "proven" name who essentially can do whatever he wants (a la Lucas or Shamalyan, or Sorkin or Abrams).

Unfortunately, I don't see DOLLHOUSE alone doing that, and Joss was already very close to that stage before, and what he did was FIREFLY... and we saw how that turned out.

Much as I want DOLLHOUSE's success to give hope for FIREFLY, I'm having trouble working that equation. :(

ya seems the way of the verse at moment.

not been a good rumor going about the verse in long while it seems,

but quick question did any one else think reason for slow start to dollhouse was due to fox putting their fingers in the "pie"?

just find it odd how 2nd half of season seemed to shine while start was rather slow?

Personally, I think the slow start for DOLLHOUSE had something to do with FOX having their fingers in the pie (especially to the extent that they pushed Joss into more stand-alone episodes), but it's also because few if any of the characters are sympathetic. With the exception of Ballard, all main characters are either proto-characters it's tough to develop an affinity for or people who do something reprehensible for a living. I find it very hard to have sympathy for, say, Topher, when I think about what he does on a daily basis.

I was always of the mind that success in DH would translate to FF, but there would be changes due to the success of some of the stars of the show (Nathan, Summer and now, Morena).

I would venture a guess that it would be more a Miniseries than a full-fledged TV show - which would be alright with me. Fox and Universal should explore that and join forces to make it happen.

Seriously Fox and Universal execs, think of the gobs of cashy money you would make, and, in a recession. Soumds intriqueing don't it.

BTW, Fox would never meddle in someone's TV show, I mean........Oh, I can't do it.......I really tried but I couldn't keep a straight face.

Even though it's been relegated to Friday, it should do well. Top 3 may be asking for too much, but we can hope.
