Not a very good title, and no this isn't a "Did she drop it on purpose thread,

But I saw Dollhouse when scrolling through Netflix the other day, it got me thinking of the show. So regardless of the overall quality of the show, the Epilogue episodes were going somewhere pretty cool. SPOILERS FOR DOLLHOUSE....




These high tech folks with Dollhouse capabilities, gaining skills at the press of a button, hunting down the, well, let's call them luddites who have rejected the technology and are trying to survive. That whole conflict was interesting, why they came about, how they came about, the kind of characters Whedon decided to put on each side. Getting to those episodes is worth watching the 2 seasons of the show, I think.

Are you a jacked up tech head or a luddite in that situation?

I'm a luddite. And I'd do the same thing in the damn singularity scenario that everyone else talks about.

Or how about Land of the Dead, are you a corporate fat cat in a tower looking down at all the peasants? Or are you a peasant? Or are you already a zombie?

Equilibrium - Be honest with yourself, are you a rebel, or part of the totalitarian order?

Me? Rebel, but I like books way too much.

Hunger Games?

Anyone, those are some weak films examples, figure there's more good ideas out there. Fire away!

Current list of Sides:

Dollhouse: Tech Head or Luddite?
Man of Steel: Superman is God or Superman is Danger?
Equilibrium: Totalitarian or Rebel?
Walking Dead: Peaceful, but scary town or underfed wandering band?

Dollhouse


The only example in existence of a Joss Whedon project where the premise is actually better than the execution.

Tech head here.

Equilibrium


Rebel

Man of Steel - Would you be a citizen who viewed Superman as a hero or an unknown who's potential threat outweighed his good intentions?
