Dollhouse

Question: To celebrate the premiere of Dollhouse, I think it would be very fitting for you to give us some scoop — or at the very least tell us what you thought. — Sydney

Ausiello: I have mixed feelings about Dollhouse. My biggest complaint is the complete and utter lack of humor. Where’s the Whedonesque ha-ha we’ve all come to depend on? And when I am laughing, I don’t think I’m supposed to be. For instance, Eliza Dushku as a ball-busting hostage negotiator? Highlarious. And I may be in the minority here, but I find the Topher "I’m the lovable, quirky one" Brink character to be unbearable. The only thing I find relatable about him is his taste in sweater vests. Despite all this, I’m four episodes in and I can’t wait for No. 5. Go figure.
