Not many people are amused by Joss Whedon‘s prostitution show AKA Dollhouse but we here at Sugoi Stuff are fans. For me, it’s mostly due to Eliza Dushku and Miracle Laurie but the show had its moments.
Now that’s a sentiment Fox executives might share (the moments not the chicks) since the show got renewed for a second season despite the poor ratings.
Anyway, the US DVD was released a few weeks ago. Aside from the aired shows it contains two bonus episodes – the pilot and a 13th episode that were both unaired.
The pilot was Whedon’s first work with Dollhouse in mind but test audiences found it too dark and sketchy that he had to shoot another one.
13th is a special what-if post-apocalyptic look at the world with Dollhouse technology meant to be a stand-alone show.
If you’re a fan, you might want to grab a copy of the DVD. But yeah, for the rest of you cheapskates, we’re sure you know your way around the Internet. :p

I wouldn’t deny that one of the real reasons I watch Dollhouse is Eliza Dushku. Well, sure it’s a Joss Wheedon show so the series is bound to have a bit of promise at least for the first couple of seasons (as with the case of Buffy) but come on. A scantily-clad Eliza Dushku quite the visual treat already (though Miracle Laurie is shmexy in a chunky sort of way and Olivia Williams’ British accent’s kinda hot too).
But what are these conflicting rumors about the show’s status. One rumor has it that Fox has pegged the May 8 episode (episode 12) as the show’s season finale. The show already has 13 episodes filmed that are supposedly for the current season.
If this rumor is ever true, then that makes one wonder whatever will happen to episode 13. Could this mean that Fox will not be pushing through with the series? According to Fox, they are still deciding on the fate of the second season.
Cutting the series short would be a grave injustice to those who have endured watching several quirky episodes but I have to say that series has just started to pick up its story and pace. Pity to see it canned this soon.
