I love Alan so I'm really looking forward to what Joss will do. :)
Saw Alan at Farpoint Con this weekend and he cleared up the rumor. He said he will NOT be appearing on Dollhouse. He only visited the set. But Felicia has confirmed that she'll be on.
And Alan did say he plans to be on Nathan's new show, Castle, but not in the first season. It would be the second assuming they get renewed.
OK, back to your regularly scheduled discussion....

I pestered a co-worker into watching Dollhouse on hulu. The first thing she messages me about it "this is terrible". Not a good review from someone who at least enjoyed Firefly even if she didn't become an all out browncoat.
Update: She quit watching before even the end of the episode. That's a really bad sign. She said she was so unimpressed that she didn't care about the last 10 minutes. Bah.

Maybe Alan doesn't know yet. :( Sometimex he doesn't understand well what people say.
It sounded like Joss said so at NY Comic Con.
Of course Nathan and Alan working together again would be fun.

Well I'm a little surprised at peoples indifference to what the pilot just did.
It maybe doesn't have the usual pilot episode 'action' but it's full of little Joss sized intrigue! I thought the whole piece played like a picture boardgame. Clues of what's to come everywhere. I was fascinated. Bare in mind her name is 'Echo' - I think this is a big indicator of what to expect from the show. So paying attention to what takes place is very important.
Some very interesting personalities working around each other too.
Her 'watcher' (essentially) Boyd Langdon stole the show for me. He had just the right amount of duty and pathos towards Echo. Superb casting.
The morally intriguing Topher Brink and the morally shackled Dr Claire Saunders are great. I can only hope Joss expands on them, because thier dynamic is looking very interesting.
Now Sierra who stormed in at the end to lead the assault squad has the rumblings of what 'River' was designed to be had the government had their way. Now that, I found very interesting, because I think Joss is maybe expanding on what he had in mind for that particular story arc in Firefly.
..and the idea that The Dollhouse was set up to do good - is an intriguing misdirection.
The idea of borrowed memory implants I think is a touch of genius. That really struck me as the key to where this show is going to go. I'm a little disappointed this wasn't highlighted more in the build up.
So all in all. I'm sold.
The one thing that is occaisionally taking me away from the show, is the fact that the Dollhouse looks very similar to the Wolfram and Hart offices from Angel season 5. I'd have hoped for a vastly different look. Also the theme and the music throughout was a little limp.
Otherwise I'm into it.
