Optimistic is an understatement, the man is practically giddy about the possibility of a second season of Dollhouse.
Although he's still waiting for the go ahead from Fox, Whedon is encouraged by Dollhouse's DVR ratings. He says:
Basically
it’s what happens in the next few weeks; we have a new lead-in
(replacing 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'), we have a few
more episodes coming up — whether it’s 12 or 13 — they are fierce,” he
added. “They are ridiculous; I am so proud of them. We’re going to go
out this season with a bang, and hopefully we’ll get to come back for
Season 2.
We might actually get the chance to do
what we’re dying to do, which is tell more of these stories with these
crazy people because we have so many more yet to come
Although we are still super skeptical about parts of the Dollhouse premise (brainwashed hookers make us feel icky), we'd definitely like Joss to have the opportunity to flesh out the story. "Fierce," "Crazy," and "Ridiculous"? We're into it.
We're also super curious about Joss's mysterious 13th episode, you know, the one that might be too Whedon-y for Fox.
Whedon told [the studio] he could shoot a “weird post-apocalyptic horror
movie on the sets on video with a whole new cast for about half pattern
and pepper it with scenes of these people (the same cast) and do it
while we’re filming everything else and it won’t cost you hardly
anything and it will be the strangest, most awesome thing you’ve ever
had.
After a season full of high-end hooking, are we really going to have to wait for the DVD to see a little "post-apocalyptic horror?" FOX, we've stuck Dollhouse through its slow start and despite its flaws. Give us lucky number 13, please.
