Dollhouse bucked the odds and returns for its second season on Fox Fridays tonight at 9 p.m. EDT.
In terms of acting, I think Eliza Dushku looks like Meryl Streep when you compare her to Dichen Lachman (Sierra). Lachman just seems to be acting all the time and couldn't come off any more unnatural if she tried.Originally Posted by Will_B
...there were moments when it seemed clear that Eliza must have taken acting classes over the summer. She's getting better.

Sci-fi is my favourite genre but I find it so difficult to start watching a new series when chances are it won't succeed. I think Stargate and Star Trek were the exceptions. Both of those franchises had good long runs. Unfortunately I think Dollhouse's days are numbered. I hate that because I'm really becoming invested in the series. I'm still upset about Firefly another excellent series pulled way too early.Originally Posted by Mikah Cerucco
I'm not a fan of blaming a lead-in for a show's performance. Certainly a lead-in can help a show, but if a show resonates with the audience, they'll find it no matter what. The real problem is SciFi generally struggles on network TV in prime time. On the flip side, it's generally more expensive and difficult to make. Not the best recipe, but I just try to enjoy what we get.
