A Week Indoors + Dollhouse
Just got home from work and watched the second episode of Dollhouse (“The Target”). It was really really good. Better than the first one. I especially loved the structure of it, what with all the glimpses into the aftermath of Alpha’s massacre at the Dollhouse. Dushku was better too. And it was written and directed by Stephen S. DeKnight, who wrote a few of my favorite episodes of Angel (and a couple of damn good Buffy ones too).
I spent most of the week watching Roswell, which I’d never seen before. I’m nineteen episodes into the first season and so far I’m really digging on it. The creator is Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights, My So-Called Life) so I bought the entire series on DVD sight unseen. And now I’m pretty glad I did. Good cast, interesting concepts and a seemingly never-ending stream of great recurring characters (Julie Benz! Kevin Weisman! Emilie de Ravin! The dude who played Bania on Seinfeld!) Good show, well worth checking out if you never have before. But Hannah says it starts to suck in the second season, so I’m bracing myself.
Also, I watched the pilot of Eastbound and Down on HBO. Pretty funny stuff, as always, from Danny McBride.
And I got the new Ben Kweller album. I was gonna write a full review on Slow Century but it’s so boring and lame that I don’t really have anything to say about it except that it’s boring and lame.
Got the new Morrissey today. Expect a full review over at the main site in the next few days. Tomorrow I’m gonna see Friday the 13th and He’s Just Not That Into You, so I may review one or both of those as well.
Word is bond.
