Jamie/Dollhouse jitters

[bop_radar]

So... confession... I can't bring myself to watch Jamie in Dollhouse. I'm totally nailbiting about it. I was so upset when he got cast because the idea of watching him play a misogynist makes me shudder... he's a really good actor, I'm sure he'll carry it off, and I just really don't know if I can deal with that. *is a massive emotional coward*

So, people that know me well? Will it make Bop :((? (do NOT tell me how hot he is, my f'list is managing to convey that quite nicely already and it's still not enough to make me watch it...)

Sigh. It's so much easier to watch him in Law and Order. *missing my Matt/Alesha*

In other news... *glances at f'list* ... WOW that is a lot of wank! I'd forgotten what it was like when the shows are actually on. ;) But even BSG is still bringing the wank. Amazing! Still, SV scoops the wank awards as usual... bless.

ETA: Lots of spoilers for Dollhouse 2.1 in the comments.

I think the negatives you're hearing are mostly a symptom of people's attitudes about the series as opposed to this specific episode, or this character, or the actor's role on it. People see "Dollhouse" and expect the worst. Personally, I thought it was a well-played character and a very good episode in general. I often seem to have the minority opinion, though.

Mm, no, I think it's just my own angst. ;) Mostly I was hearing 'oh my god! Jamie so hot!' from my f'list, which wasn't very helpful in the mental/emotional preparation stakes. ;) I didn't really *want* him to be hot in Dollhouse, because hot misogynists upset me. :(

I just need to get over the jitters and watch. I know there are people with false preconceptions about Dollhouse, but I've watched every episode and struggle with it mentally and emotionally every time. I think this is really just me having to mentally prepare for entering that emotional place again. Apologies to you, Kiki and other DH-fans: I do try with the show, really!

There's no need to apologize for having your own opinion! I think everyone has the right to their own feelings. Hopefully you agree. :)

Of course I agree! I know you see it through a different lens than I do, so to speak--of course I think you have a right to that. (I just always feel like a killjoy tosser for having my own issues with something friends like.) I wish it was unproblematic for me: I would so love to love a show with Eliza as the lead. ;)
