I am a big fan of science fiction in general.  So, I’m entering into 2009 with a little trepidation, as far as TV goes.  My all time favorite Sci-Fi series is coming to an end this year. 

As every Friday night passes 10pm, my heart cries a little more as Battlestar Galactica careens toward its finale.

However, there is a bright spot on the horizon.  Joss Whedon, who brought us the too short lived series Firefly, is back with Dollhouse.

Dollhouse has the potential to be great, given Joss Wedon’s past successes (if you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog, you’ve missed out on one of the great events of 2008.)

Wikipedia states the premise of Dollhouse as:

In Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls." 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.

Personally, I’m looking forward to this show, I only hope that NBC gives it more of a chance than they gave Firefly, which I didn’t discover until long after it was off of the air and it was brilliance… Pure and simple brilliance.

Well, I have every intention of TiVoing the first episode on February 13 and I’ll give a brief review once I’ve had a chance to actually see the show.
