All Dolled Up

This blog has featured a number of posts that make reference to the short lived TV show: Dollhouse.

• The Los Angeles Dollhouse named its Actives after the letters of the NATO phonetic alphabet: The three main 'actives' were Echo (played by Eliza Dushku), Sierra (Dichen Lachman) and Victor (Enver Gjokaj). Recurring guest stars who played actives included: Amy Acker as Whiskey, Miracle Laurie as November and Alan Tudyk as Alpha. Other actives included: Mike (Teddy Sears), Quebec (David Law), Tango (Emma Bell) and Kilo (Maurissa Tancharoen, who was also writer on the show).

• Meanwhile Foxtrot, Romeo and Yankee were mentioned in dialogue, but not seen. The episodes Epitaph One and Epitaph Two: The Return were set some ten years after the show's 'present' and featured Charlie, Juliet, Romeo and another Yankee. The actives designations were reused and mention is made of a previous Sierra and another November.

• The pilot episode was called Echo and went unbroadcast and the seventh episode was therefore free to be titled Echoes.

Art Imitates Life

But does life imitate art?

Shattered

Say please.

Leading The Big Parade

To Bombay
A traveling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
And Nellie was her name
One dark night
She slipped her iron chain
And off she ran to Hindustan
And was never seen again

Ooooooooooooo...

Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

Night by night
She danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade
She looked so proud and grand
No more tricks
For Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
And she took the crowd by storm

The head of the herd was calling
Far, far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to Mandalay
So Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trum
Trump, trump, trump

Ooooooooooooo...

Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

Lifesize

I meant Lifesigns, not Lifesighs.

And yet:

Life. Sigh.

Could be taken to mean weary of life. Or in its plural form could mean Lifesize.

Lens Tens

Her top has glasses on it.

Endgame

What could be more elegant than a game of Chess between drunkards...?

Sideways Glance

Even I can see that it's cold in there, glasses or no glasses.

Lifesigns

Life. Sign.

Captain's Holiday

He's been away for a while, but finally the United States Of Americans is safe.

Awarded

Have you seen The Hours?


It's a film in which Ed Harris plays a novelist who wrote novel as novelists often do. The novel is fictionalised version of things that really happened to him as novelists often do. The novel won an award as novels often do. The award was called The Carruthers Award.

Any connection?
