Dollhouse/Dushku Day: Things get a little… weird…
Ah, how we all hoped the second episode would be as good as the season premiere. Alas, it was not to be.
Very odd episode this week. Didn’t really hold my attention. Possibly this was because of the lack of sexy girls — even a breasty Mellie (Miracle Laurie) failed to prod my libido. In fact, this week, the most attractive girl on the show was also the oldest — the lovely, the charming, the English Olivia Williams.
Let’s hope they can capitalise on the very thickly-spread (and possibly very meaty) plot that they’ve sown in the first two episodes of the season.
Discussion topic, for those that have seen the epsiode: Didn’t Topher seem awfully out of character at the start? Are they trying to make him a little more… crazy?
Anyway, a couple o’ screencaps of Eliza Dushku from the start of the episode, and then two of the aforementioned girls. I almost took a shot of Dushku breastfeeding but I thought that would’ve been less sexy and more… er… weird.

I’m so glad they brought this show back. I thought it might go the way of Firefly. Joss Wheldon has shitty luck.
Yes, Toffer is crazier this season. Maybe it’s job stress. Where was Boyd? Was he out looking for Dr.Saunders?
October 4th, 2009 at 1:22 amYeah, Topher was a bit off this ep., but I think that might have a lot to do with all the stuff that went down last week between him and Amy Acker’s character. I can see that throwing him off.
October 4th, 2009 at 1:37 amYa, I guess it was related to last week’s weirdness with Acker’s character. He’s always been a little… finickity… but I thought they would put more emphasis on him obviously going a little doolally — maybe DeWitt coming in and telling him to calm down or something…
No idea where Boyd/Saunders were this week.. maybe there was a budget cut or so.
Or they really wanted to give the whole maternal/lactating thing lots of screentime…
October 4th, 2009 at 1:54 amI have such an incredible girl crush on Eliza Dushku.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:40 amI’ve not seen any of Dollhouse, so my question might be misguided, but why would you find it weird or uncomfortable to show a picture of Eliza breastfeeding? Is it because it would have been out of context?
BTW, I agre with you that breastfeeding is not sexy. it is many wonderful things (and coem to think of it, even your cousin has seen me flash out a boob), but sexy it is not (so don’t get me started on a rant about why the ‘breastfeeding in public is wrong because we are oversexuallizing our children’ argument is sooo stupid.)
October 4th, 2009 at 2:25 pmJust for the sake of context, ya. And I know what search results hit this blog. I’d rather if people search for ‘eliza dushku lingerie’ that they get screencaps like these, rather than her breastfeeding with a baby taking up half the shot. Kinda censorship, kinda looking after the clientele… (though I’m sure a select few would love to find pictures of Dushku breastfeeding on the Internet…)
Damn my lucky cousin!
But I agree, the act and all it symbolises is beautiful
October 4th, 2009 at 2:33 pmHaven’t watched the episode yet…but I can tell you this, I don’t love Olivia’s hair style this season. I preferred it longer. At least on her. It just seems a little…flat sometimes. hmmmm…
I like Topher…I’m curious to see what they do with his character…I would like to see it expanded a little bit more. I’m curious to see what you deemed uncharacteristic this episode.
October 5th, 2009 at 1:15 amI forget the exact phrase, but ‘utterly batshit crazy’ in the first 5 minutes or so, with Paul.
Yea, I don’t know if I prefer the shorter hair. But still… you have to admit, she looks pretty classy in that screen cap!
October 5th, 2009 at 1:19 amMeh, to your lucky cousin, I don’t think he could see much as there was some greedy child with his head in the way the whole time.
Although your cousin did correctly observe that said child has rather sharp teeth, and he grimaced appropriately (good man).
