Having now seen the "Dollhouse" opener
Feb. 24th, 2009 08:10 pmI find myself pleasantly intrigued. And very surprised that a certain person didn't die horribly, given Joss's usual shenanigans. [This is not a burn. Joss likes to kill people. I think we can all agree on this.]
What's very funny is that I mentioned to The Husband that I was going to sit down and watch it tonight while he's at work.
HIM: "Can't you wait?"
ME: "Huh?"
HIM: "I'd like to see it."
ME: o.O "Ummm...if I like it, you know I'm gonna make you watch it."
HIM: "Oh, that's true."
My reaction isn't because he doesn't like Whedon, but that I forget that he does like Whedon. You must understand, though, this is not a love of years gone by as it's been for quite a few of us. The Husband saw "Serenity", nearly soiled himself in movie nerd glee, and has understood my appreciation for Whedon ever since. Give my man a six-minute tracking shot and funny writing, and he'll keep an eye out for future projects.
I remember watching my "Firefly" DVDs with commentary [which I really do need to re-watch], and Joss saying that he's always felt the first six episodes of a show count as the debut. He thinks that's what it takes to lay out the story, get people to keep watching, and convince them it's worth their time. I'm ready for episode two.
( And now, in 'wow, I've watched way too much Whedon' glee )
On a final note, Reed Diamond is only getting finer with age. I've wanted to do things to him since he was Mike Kellerman on "Homicide: LotS". Given how his arc ended on H: LotS, I can't help but think that his character is secretly Kellerman. Yes, my mind is a weird place. No, I do not sell tickets.
