Joss on Sierra’s story in episode 8.
Am I interpreting correctly that when Sierra goes to the see the man she says is responsible for putting her there, that basically he kind of sold her into the slavery with the Dollhouse?
Joss: More or less. I wouldn’t even say sold, so much as kidnapped. Her situation is by far the worst of anyone’s. How complicit the Dollhouse was in that, how much they actually knew about her past, we don’t go to in the episode, but what actually happened to her is just as appalling as anybody’s story.
Because one of the things I hear from people who may have been a little bit reluctant to get into the show is what they call “the ick factor” of the premise. And Adelle tries to argue in that episode that most of the dolls are there voluntarily and they’re doing a good service for them by wiping out these other memories. But knowing that this is possible for at least one of the dolls, does that continue to make the show uncomfortable maybe?
Joss: I don’t know, maybe. It makes me uncomfortable. I’m not going to lie. But for me, it’s part of what we’re dealing with. We’re dealing with people who have power and are abusing it and people who don’t and are trying to regain it. And in some instances, we want to show the Dollhouse and in the instance of November, I think it is providing a service… And then in other instances, that is going to be abused and the ick factor gets very high. It seems to get high with Sierra quite a bit, I’m sorry to say, poor girl. She really gets put through it. But it’s not something we feel that we can shy away from without being a little hypocritical.

i have one smart question for joss: do you know your show is going to be cancelled by fox(again)? how you can be so calm and quiete?? do you know something about the upfront we don not know?? because now we are all freaking out for that! only crap joss what the hell are you going to to??
can we get the source from this interview?
What kind of blogger posts an excerpt from an interview with any references? Makes me doubt the credibility of this website.
Yes, once again, Dollverse steals someone’s else’s content without copping to it. Note: It’s from Alan Sepinwall.

Still, those are good comments from Joss about how difficult the total story of DOllhouse can be. It’s not just all abut a girl aganist the evil undead. It’s abut a girl against evil, and trying t oget her name, soul and identity back. At this point, it seems that won’t happen, but it wuill get to another point where it might.
yeah, the site doesn´t have episode discussions anymore, neither trailers for the new episodes, and now takes a piece of a interview without letting anyone know the source or see the whole thing, the site is really improving…
Thanks One true b for giving us the link.
C’mon guys, let’s be nice. The person who runs this site has feelings. ~_~;;
b!X, the discussion happened on a public domain conference call with lots of members of the press. Many sites used the full Q&A with Joss – that was the idea behind the call.
In Kevin’s defense, Dollverse is The Least-Dead Dollhouse Site On The Internet. Sorry, Kevin, I patented that slogan, you have to pay me royalties if you want to use it.
I’ve always wanted to be the least dead website on the interwebs.
