Q&A: Tim Minear from Dollhouse

After our Dollhouse Commentary for “True Believer”, Tim Minear (writer/consulting producer/narcissist) keeps the party going. Please enjoy as Tim and I talk about more Dollhouse, digital downloading, listening to your public, the “cult” of Darla and war stories concerning creative credit. Also, we get a little punchy and take many lighthearted, verbal jabs at each other. It’s nearly an hour of podcasting that defies the laws of thermal dynamics (probably), due to its deadly combination of astounding brilliance and sheer stupidity (mostly). BEWARE: This recording contains some mature language not necessarily suitable for younger audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

Dollhouse: True Believer – Commentary

(with special guest, Tim Minear)

Tim Minear (writer of this episode) joins the podcast to talk about “True Believer”, the fifth installment of Dollhouse. Echo undergoes surgery to become a blind woman, while the government’s ATF division uses her as a mole to infiltrate the compound of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Agent Ballard finally gets the evidence he needs to prove that Caroline does or did exist, bringing him one step closer to the Dollhouse. Please join Tim and I as we discuss breaking the “cult” story, the importance of building a solid foundation for a script, “playing blind” and how to make exposition sound natural.
