Jane Espenson hits back at negative spin surrounding Whedon’s Dollhouse

Writer Jane Espenson has been chatting to the SciFi Channel about Joss Whedon’s upcoming series “Dollhouse”. The show has had more than its fair share of negativity surrounding it, with rumors flying it’s not great, breaks in writing, re-writes and more. Esponson has come out in defence of the series - on which she is a consulting producer - and said it’s coming along just fine.

Espenson suggests the show “could very well appeal to not just Whedonites, but a much broader audience. I think it’s extremely good, and the concept just blows me away: It’s fantastic, this notion of people who have been erased and are now imprintable with whatever you want them to be. … It’s sci-fi of the most human kind. It’s sci-fi about people, as opposed to, you know, phenomena. And I really love that.”

I think it sounds cool too, and I have to admit to being a big Espenson fan, so I’m hoping this is a personal opinion from her about the show and not a “producing” tip of the hat. Espenson rocks in my little world so I’m expecting big things from Dollhouse now. The series begins February 13.
