Review: Dollhouse 1.02 The Target -- If Echo dies in the woods, would anyone care?

In a TV landscape populated by reality shows in which guys with tattoos and goatees do everything from making motorcycles and cakes to make things blow up, you've got to be inventive to stand out. No where is this more true than the Friday night death slot on notoriously hatchet happy Fox.

Fortunately (at least for Joss Whedon fans), no one is more inventive than Joss. And the second episode of Dollhouse, The Target proves this.

Review: Dollhouse 1.1 Ghost

When Joss Whedon refers to his new show, Dollhouse as: the darkest show he's ever done, and says things like no one is going to come away from this show feeling clean, I get nervous. Joss has done some dark storylines in the past. Season 6 Buffy. Angel. Quite a bit of Firefly. Body counts wrack up. No one is safe.

Buffy, Not Firefly, Becomes Fox MMOG of the Hour

Earlier this year, Firefly fans were excited at the announcement that the Multiverse Network was putting together an MMOG based on the Firefly/Serenity universe. Now Fox has apparently cancelled the franchise once again, choosing to promote instead a new MMOG based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

While wild child River Tam had obvious mystery to her character on the Joss Whedon series Firefly, the far more subtle, and more interesting questions centered on Shepherd Book. Was he really a man of the cloth? Why did he have Alliance identification? Didn't he know an awful lot that seemed incongruous with his calling? Well now we'll all know...

Many fans on-line were disappointed by the conclusion of the three-part webisode Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. If you haven't seen the third part, which will remain available for free through Sunday, July 20 at http://www.drhorrible.com, you should be aware that this article is very spoilery.

Dr. Horrible Part 2: Joss Goes Meta.

Joss Whedon is always at his best when he's using storytelling as a metaphor. Buffy The Vampire Slayer was about how high school is really hell, Angel proved that lawyers really were evil and let's not get into all the ways that Joss showed that sex is a bad idea.

So it's no surprise that Act II of Whedon's hit web-series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has a little food for thought mixed in amongst the freeze rays and melodies.

Dr. Horrible is anything but.
