Echo (Eliza Dushku) is a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo's burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.

Cheers Saint, will deffo give it a go, sounds like a good one .  :)


As for those talkin' about "Fringe"

Better than average but i'm not completely hooked , although Missus Woof insists I dl every episode. As some one said, the off the wall recently released from the looney bin professor character certainly adds to the interest.

Life on Mars

Surprised that the yanks have churned out another "copy" so quickly. Not sure how in America it would translate . UK policing has certainly changed in the last three decades, not sure if the same could said about the US, has policing there changed that much ? . In the original UK series the "attitudes" to policing was one of the main issues affecting the lead characters interaction with his colleagues.Either way I like Harvey Kietel so will deffo have look, if only for comparisons sake.

For those that haven't seen the ORIGNAL uk series there was also a follow up series called "Ashes to Ashes" ( have you noticed the David Bowie link yet ? )

US version has themes on how women were treated in the workplace, allowing more rough housing with suspects during questioning, and I guess points out how much technology has come since then in solving crimes, because all they could do was check for fingerprints. And of course the show is really about how he got there and getting home and the relationships with the people.

ive been addicted mainly to Grey's Anatomy, The Hills, That 70s Show and been watching old episodes of The Nanny and Friends.

The show was Firefly, mate.  Think cowboys in space (but it's so much more than that!).  For my money, Joss Whedon's best effort but the genuises at Fox gave it less than a season. :no  No shortage of totty either:

Morena Baccarin
Summer Glau
Jewel Staite
Gina Torres
Christina Hendricks

Tasty!  :hearts

(Check out Judge's chickapedia link for photos and vital statisticis for the ladies listed above :D )

one girl who really has me captivated is Catherine Bell from JAG :hearts

It's by the same people I think. It's basically about a bunch of crack-heads.

Yeah the wire is sick. Everyone should own it on DVD too.

i finish work at 1 tonight, i'll watch maybe 5 eps of all of them, 40 mins each when u fast forward the adverts, thats only 3 hours of tv, be in bed by 5 lol

i usually watch in mornings before work or on a day off when skint catch up and just watch shedloads. i can do a season of 24 in a days viewing.

I own all the shields, all 24s and a fair few other shows. would love to own the wire but its not something i think id re-watch as much
