May 16, 2008

I am about to blow your fucking mind.

You ready? K, let's do this:

It's the trailer for Joss Whedon's new show, Dollhouse, starring (gasp!) Eliza Dushku and (gasp!) Tahmoh "Karl 'Helo' Agathon" Penikett and (gasp!) some other people, one of whom is (gasp!) Amy Acker and none of whom are (boo!) Marc Blucas. Yay!

The premise of the show is pretty rad:

In Dollhouse, Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls" who volunteered for the work in the Dollhouse. They give up five years of their lives, and at the end they receive a large sum of money and no memory of anything they did for the Dollhouse. The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.

So watch the trailer and stuff. And hey, Joss? I love you so much. Like, deeply. You are my density. But can you please find a font more creative than Papyrus? It's sort of like using Comic Sans for your title. Just my persnickety-do!

Oh, here's a full scene from Dollhouse, where Helo is all, "What the frak?" and Faith's like, "Don't sweat it, B. I'm five by five," and then I poop my pants. Fin.
