Jane Espenson im Interview

Sie redet über "The Plan", Caprica und auch Dollhouse:
CU: After a bit of a slow start, Dollhouse has turned out to be a very good show and I’m glad its coming back. Can you tell us about some of the changes that were made during the season to improve the show or take it in a different direction?
JE: My impression — and this really is just my impression — was that the show got closer and closer to Joss’s original vision for the show. As the show progressed, Joss was able to get deeper into the mythology and meaning of the show, which was all the stuff that fascinated me so much. I love the show and loved working there.
CU: Will you be writing more episodes of Dollhouse next season or taking a more active producing role on the show?
JE: I wish I could. Caprica has me too busy to take on anything outside of that.
CU: What do you think the reduced budget will do to the show next season? Will it have an impact of the kids of stories that can be told?
JE: Budgets are smaller all over. This limits the number of sets you can have, the number of speaking roles and extras, number of special effects, and it can cut the number of shooting days which can lead to fewer locations used in each episode. This will favor stories that take place on the standing sets, using only the regular characters.
It moves the action off-screen (you’ll tend to hear about the big riot rather than seeing it). There’s a lot of elasticity in story-telling and you can do a lot of this without it showing too badly — sometimes you even are forced into creative solutions. But you can only go so far and then it’s a show about sock puppets. Budgets are getting awfully small.
CU: Was it always the plan to have Echo realize she was a Doll or, at the very least, that something was “wrong” during the first season?
JE: My understanding was yes, that was the plan.
CU: Was Ballard always supposed to be a main character on Dollhouse and discover its secrets? It seemed his role was amplified during the first few episodes to become more of a main character?
JE: I certainly believed that he was always intended as a main character.
