Eliza Dushku: ‘Dollhouse Was A Deep, Dark And Powerful Show’

Filed under: Interviews — Tags: , , , , — Mike Moody @ 2:32 pm

Unnofficial Dollhouse week continues here at TV DeathRay! Seriously, we loved the show, but we didn’t exactly plan on going “all Dollhouse all the time” this week! But the Internet refuses to stop bleeding love for Joss Whedon’s last TV mindfrak, and we’re following suit. First, we posted a brilliant music video starring Fran Kranz, and now we’re a pointing you to a new interview with series star Eliza Dushku.

Dushku, who guest stars on The Big Bang Theory on Nov. 4, talked to our pals at TV Squad about the final season of Dollhouse, her love for Joss Whedon’s brain, and her future plans. Here’s how she responded when asked if it was difficult working on Dollhouse under the constant threat of cancelation:

… We seized the day every chance that we had. We just took the approach of “game on, let’s give it everything we have” while we have the stage, go even darker and deeper, and really challenge the people that have followed us this far. It was such a deep and dark powerful show to be a part of and we’re really proud of what we did. Regardless of people that didn’t get a chance to catch it while it was on.

Linkables: The ‘Frak You!’ Edition

Filed under: News — Tags: , , , — Riley Stevens @ 7:39 pm

I’m skipping the usual nerd TV link roundup today to bring you a special Caprica edition of Linkables because, honestly, I’ve been busy with conference calls all day, and 2.) Caprica is frakkin’ awesomecakes!

Season 1.5 (seriously Syfy, enough with this breaking up the seasons crap already, geeez) premieres Oct. 5 with an episode directed by the great (and ginger) Eric Stoltz. It’s no secret that Caprica is one of our favorite shows here at TV DeathRay, and not just because it’s a Battlestar Galactica spinoff – in fact, I’d argue that anyone could enjoy Caprica without ever watching a single minute of BSG. And now, Syfy has released a great and funny video recap of the first half of season 1, so people who skipped out on the first several episodes can get caught up with the story in less than five minutes.

Head after the jump for Syfy’s Re-Caprica video and for a SPECIAL Caprica-related TREAT: A brilliant puppet parody of Cee Lo Green’s ‘F*ck You’ called ‘Frak You!’ posted on The Node by Clay Robeson. Enjoy!

Hey there, casual browser and/or DeathRay fan, let’s take a sec to devour some of the spectacular nerd TV-related stuff on the Internets this week …

  • Did you know that Communitys Donald Glover wrote a spec script for The Simpsons or that there’s a group of crazy nerds campaigning to get him to play Goldie Wilson in a Back to the Future musical? Learn about all that and more with a great Glover interview on the latest Nerdist podcast.
  • I know we posted about these yesterday, but here’s another link to the new Smallville teasers featuring the Super Suit and more goodies.
  • Tiny Entourage is so wrong and so boring and so unfunny that is has to be seen.
  • I love Todd Haynes movies, and I love the original Mildred Pierce flick, so, yes, I’m digging this trailer for the HBO update starring Kate Winslet.
