FANGASM: Joss Whedon doing another series!

SO EXCITING! Joss Whedon already has a seven-episode commitment from Fox for "Dollhouse" (let's hope they don't cancel it soon after that a la Firefly), which will star Eliza Dushku, (Faith on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and Tru in "Tru Calling").

Here's how Fox describes the series:

"Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo's burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse."

It sounds a bit like River from "Firefly" meets "Total Recall" meets "Alias." And I can't wait! Let's just hope the writers' strike doesn't postpone it too long!
