Foxs’ Dollhouse Promo Picture and Official Trailer

I will be eagerly looking for Dollhouse on Monday nights in January of 2009. Until then, here’s a promo picture and a promo trailer!

The official Fox tv Dollhouse promo trailer:

DOLLHOUSE focuses on a secret organization that employs “Actives” — a group of operatives who have their memories and personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with new ones, allowing them to take on various missions for hire. DOLLHOUSE airs Mondays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) this January on FOX.

This is a show by Joss Whedon, we all have reason to be excited. Not to mention, it stars Eliza Dusku. Patience is difficult to harness.

Eric Millegan aka Zack Addy is now Permanently Gone From Bones

I’m about to talk about what happened in the recent Bones season finale so take caution if you haven’t seen it yet!

So, we speculated on who might be the Gormogon apprentice, and while we thought Zack Addy would be hurt or killed, I don’t think too many of us thought he’d actually be the killer. The finale was full of red herrings, making me think it was everyone from well - everyone! Everyone except Bones and Booth. My thoughts flitted to Hodgins, Angela, Sweets, Zack (mildly!), and even Cam.

When Hodgins presented the information about the lead level he found, I realized three people had constant access to his house: him, Angela, and Zack. But I was not prepared for any of them to be the apprentice. I had gone into this episode thinking it was Clark Edison. I re-watched the first episode of the season and then, with the other recent episode where Clark was there - I was certain he was appearing just enough to stay on the radar.

But apparently not!

Lena Headey and Summer Glau at the Fox Upfronts : Why Wear Designer Clown Pants? (Plus, Supernatural, Ugly Betty, and Smallville)

Despite the fact that I lost interest in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles three episodes in, it’s been renewed for a second season. The show probably isn’t even bad, I just didn’t have the motivation to watch it, commercials and all. (No, I don’t have any fancy TiVo/DVR schtuffs. Alas!) I think this is a show I may get the DVDs of sometime (I’m sure they’ll come out) and sit down to watch when I can really get into it all. It was hard to watch the show when I’d never seen any of the movies. You wanna know what movies I’m (re) watching lately? You’ve Got Mail*, Sabrina, I Am Legend, Desperately Seeking Susan and His Girl Friday.

Anyway, Lena Headey and Summer Glau were at the Fox TV upfronts. They looked interesting.

Lena, I’m not a huge fan of your haircut because it makes your hair seem limp, just hanging there - emphasizing your square face. So I kind of wish you’d do something else with it. Now, your uh…pantsuit, looks fine when I look at it and scroll down slowly - it would have been a cute sundress - the blue hue is lovely, and the moddish white flowers are pretty. However, I don’t even know what to begin calling the bunched, elastic-cuffed pant things. Designer clown-inspired pants?

Aside: I’m not a fan of tattoos, but you make them seem elegant. Neat.

Summer, you look like a sun-drenched flower. I suspect people somewhere are commenting on your toes (larger picture below the first). I hope they take into consideration all of the ballet training and dancing you did - and realize flaws make people more beautiful and unique. I’m glad you refuse to hide them. I love the strappy sandals.

Dr. Temperance Brennan of the Fox TV Show Bones Doesn’t Like Purple Elephants, so she Probably Wouldn’t Like Red Turtles, Right?

I stumbled upon the Duckcloth Blog today. DuckCloth sells fabrics in different prints which is all kinds of fun and I wish I could sew - and since I have a sewing machine, you’d think I could (it’s all a rouse!) The patterns available include some animal prints (yay, animals). When I saw them the very first thing I thought of was Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) of Bones. Even when it comes to babies, she doesn’t very much like the thought of animals being depicted illogically - as we learned in the episode Baby in the Bough.

But I think they’re great fun. I’m especially loving the French Poodles. It combines my love of girlish glee, animals, and all things French! I’m sure Bones would say that animals do not want to wear full outfits, or even little bows. She might also point out that pigs don’t stand upright, and turtles are not red - “…except for the rare so-and-so turtle with a red-spotted shell. Which a baby would never be near unless they somehow were abandoned in an African cave in the 1800’s.” Well, that’s what I picture her saying! If you can think of other quotes that Bones might say about the way cartoon animals are depicted on blankets, as toys, etc - share them in a comment!

Turtles probably aren’t in Africa, huh?

The New Kathy Reichs Novel is Coming Out in August (”Bones” Inspiration)

Monday’s episode of Bones was (and I don’t want to oversell this) SUPER-FREAKING-FANTASTIC. Aside from that thought, could you help from noticing how often Bones’ books were mentioned? I don’t think this was a ploy, I think it made sense in the story. But it did get me interested in following-through on actually reading the books by Kathy Reichs that inspired this TV show. Inspired by, based on? I think it gets a little muddled, from what I hear the books are different, even though the character is named Temperance Brennan, just as on the show. I don’t think I will mind, though - because the study of forensic anthropology is interesting.

The first book Reichs’ wrote about Brennan (published in 1997) is called Déjà Dead. The latest book (out in August 2008) is called Devil Bones. I suppose I’ll want to read them in order, so I won’t get to that one for a bit. Oh well!

Bones (Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) have great (I don’t want to say ‘chemistry’…) vibrations between them, that the end of the episode really picked at our emotions.

Fox TV is doing well.

If you’ve read any of these novels, what do you think of them?
