Pilot Anyone?

[dan]

Parts of the pilot episode script have been posted on dollhousetvforum.com

I must say, I like what I read. :)

I looked on the site, were exactly is it posted? It's probably really obvious and I'm just missing it, but help would be good :)

There's a spoilers forum. Inside, it has sort of a (alleged) partial synopsis of the pilot. Is that what we're talking about? I can't tell anymore. It won't let me read threads without registering now.

Crafty way of getting people to sign up if you ask me, as it only lets you view a certain number of posts then you can only view more if you join the board. I don't see the point of joining a board if I have no intention of posting on it 'lol'

Lurking is good, or at least being given the choice to lurk. :)

I'm always more reluctant to join a board if you have no choice but to join to be able to read the posts as personally I like to get a feel for a place, and see what the atmosphere etc is like before I committ myself to joining.

dan,
I'm guessing that you are the same dan who is an admin at dollhousetvforum.com...perhaps you could give us a hint as to where we could find this pilot script on your board...or is this just an attempt to drum up a few new members from BB?

Thanks for offering us the info Dan. I assume you're talking about the below. The post didn't link to the original source, so I'm not sure if it's a spoiler, but I'll put it in spoiler tags just in case.

Basically the post at Dan's site claims there are 2 classes of dolls. They're called Actives, and Inactives. According to the post Echo is considered an inactive. It doesn't say why.

There's supposed to be a scene in the pilot where Adelle Dewitt, "The 40ish iceberg who runs the Dollhouse where the human Etch-a-Sketches reside", explains to a senator a Doll is better than an escort, because the experience will be real to the Doll. They program the fantasy into the Doll so he, or she wants it as much as the customer does.

Topher Brink, "The technogeek who enjoys his job as a Doll programmer maybe a little too much" calls Boyd Langton, "Echo's handler and father figure" to report a group of the dolls sat together at lunch. This apparently is a problem. It suggests one of them might be what they call an inititiator. An initiator is supposed to be someone like Echo who is becoming self aware. The mind wipes the dolls endure are fading in her case. They express concern. If Adelle finds out, Echo will be killed.

Topher is pure geek, and only cares about the programming of the Dolls. Boyd appears to be pro-programming. It's supposed to have something to do with his believe in the superior experience of implanting emotions.

I guess by the end we're pretty impressed by Echo's special situation.

Just a helpful reminder. There's some info in the FAQs here giving you ways to let us know about your site.

I don't know if this applies here or not, but I should let people know. There are some questions of legality concerning quoting from the cast sides, so it's preferred we don't do that.
