Did anyone read THE HUNGER GAMES? Tonight's episode seemed like a lightened rip-off version of that book. I mean, even the bow and arrow is the key weapon in The Hunger Games.

I don't know. I had such high hopes for DOLLHOUSE but it's not living up to its potential. It's confusing, hard to follow, none of the characters are really all that likable except for the handler guy, and I really don't think Eliza Dushku is right for the part. She's not talented enough. I'll give it a few more episodes, but so far I am not hooked.

This is the premise of the hunger games:


p.s. this book is AMAZING.

ETA: Happy 1000 post to me

The A plot with Echo getting imprinted isn't confusing. It's the other stuff. The guy investigating and calling someone on the phone? I really can't follow that plot, what they want, who they are tracking vs manipulating, etc. Part of the reason is that all the actors look the same to me so I can't tell them apart.

Also I had some other issues. The transitions to the flashbacks could have been smoother. They jarred me every time because I thought I'd missed something and Echo had escaped from the woods. Some kind of different treatment to the footage or maybe different hairstyles or desaturated colors would have helped.

And I felt that Echo often got out of things too easily with scene changes. Like there was one spot where the bad guy had the arrow trained on her and she looked up like a deer in headlights. They cut to a new scene or a commercial and when it came back to Echo, she was in mid-sprint trying to lose the guy. But how did she thwart him in the first place when he had her in checkmate?

I realize these are writing/post-production issues though so I tried to refrain from mentioning them. Oops!
