» Dollhouse Season 2: Vows Review

That’s all for today. Any random news bits that I find during the day I usually end up posting them on DTD’s Twitter, so follow me there to get random, sporadic updates from me.

As there is nothing Earth shattering don’t forget to vote when you first became a fan of Joss!

Dollhouse is featured as an editor’s pick, and this is why:

The latest, reshot pilot still reveals some flaws – the biggest problem with Dollhouse may be what goes on inside the Dollhouse – but the missions, er, engagements are kinda cool, as Echo immerses herself in each new personality. We’re going to give Team Whedon-Dushku some latitude on this one.

Also featured on the preview is Christian Kane’s new show Leverage and Christopher Gorham’s (aka James Stanley in Buffy episode I Only Have Eyes For You) Harper’s Island.
