Doll Hos*
Last night I was out at a bar (Gatsby’s without Sushi, which was weird) and on the many bar televisions appeared an add for Josh Whedon’s new show “Doll House.” Obviously, I am a huge Whedon fan (I bribed, bartered and snuck my way into a screening of “Serenity” at Wesleyan, which remains a highlight of my film viewing history) and I think Eliza Dushku is a highly underrated actress and I really want Helo from Battlestar Galactica to have a career post BSG. But… um… WTF nakedness?
Keep in mind that I still haven’t seen this with sound, as my office computer is without speakers but is Naked-Eliza-Dushku really the only option here? There are a whole host of vaguely NSFW promo shots that really just look like a maxim spread.
Compare this to another sci-fi fox show that (while I found the pilot unbearably stupid) had a compelling poster campaign.
Tis the season to stick your fox heroines in water apparently.
So I don’t know, Defamer thinks this is a good move, but it reeks of desperation to me. Chris Plante says the buzz is that the pilot was terrible and had to be completely reedited and much as I like to ignore him, maybe he is right.
Please please please let this show be good and survive. Once BSG dies in 5 episodes I don’t know where I will go for dark, women-kicking-ass television.
*Shut up. You think that is totally clever.

the fringe poster looks like the water was added in post-production. ELiza looks like she's actually in water
i'm with callan. the fringe poster is definitely graphics stuff done in post.
as for eliza, she is an exec producer on the show i believe, and in all fairness, girl's been naked everywhere of late. so it's not just limited to show promotion. she may just like being naked.
