Doll house is giving her a chance to stretch a lot but her Eleanor Penn negotiator didn't seem a believeable roll. She's dressed professional sexy and has been the victim of sexual abuse. Works for strippers but not for supposedly highly educated women that have sublimated that damage. She portrayed an asthma attack good - i guess. Echo so far is a non-character beginning to get the identity crisis syndrome.

Never got into Buffy - as you know - but Liza is often the tawdry brunette badass: Faith in BtVS and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

Doll house is giving her a chance to stretch a lot but her Eleanor Penn negotiator didn’t seem a believeable roll. She’s dressed professional sexy and has been the victim of sexual abuse. Works for strippers but not for supposedly highly educated women that have sublimated that damage. She portrayed an asthma attack good - i guess.

Echo so far is a non-character beginning to get the identity crisis syndrome.

Overall too soon to say but cliche seems foreshadowed.

There is a character contrast with Quantum Leap but both shows are about the exploration of different personas. That's the influence I refer to.

There is a character contrast with Quantum Leap but both shows are about the exploration of different personas. That’s the influence I refer to. Beckett got to explore these, while it’s not clear Echo can do the same maybe retaining a bit of each to become an uber doll. The audience gets to see a new persona in DH while QL showed the artifacts of their lives if not them.

The Pretender maybe a closer analog to DH overall but the exploration is very QL to me.

I MISS Journeyman!

Though as bad as Dukshu is it wont be entirely her fault, rather, I suspect it will die by a confluence of events: Whedon is strongest with a co-writer; who is working with him? How much creative input will Dukshu have (since shes co-producing the show)? How much of that input is worth anything? What will FOX insist on that will have to be worked around? I'll continue to watch and see how the series shapes up (or doesn't) overall. As for your suggestion that there is a Quantum Leap influence, I'd say it more contrasts Quantum**; Sam Beckett always knew who he was (mostly) but scarcely knew where he was or what role he was playing; Echo, as the anti-Beckett, is scarcely aware of who she is but is always oriented to her role. Also, the tech at work seems more closely connected to that of NBC's failed vehicle, My Own Worst Enemy or the passable Affleck feature, Paycheck. ----------------------------------- ** Journeyman was actually much closer to the Quantum Leap formula.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('491','Noble Bear'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('491','Noble Bear','An intriguing premise and strong supporting cast might just help to carry a show who\'s central actress often lacks believability and depth.
