Fox ’s publicity section have enjoin a Dollhouse fansite to stop describe rumors , because doing so harms the show . Which , of course , made order internet site go public with the request . Result ? Bad publicity for Fox . Oops .
The request came when Dollverse reported that the serial ’ “ missing ” episode , “ Epitaph One , ” would probably air this summertime after all , something that Fox have not comment on , and asked to be set . But the otherwise reasonable ( if terse ) electronic mail to the situation , from Fox ’s publicity director Todd Adair , has a astonishingly harsh ending :
Clearing up your misperceptions of the show has become very time consume and frankly have away valuable time that could be spent actively marketing the series in the proper way .
To me , that seems like an overreaction ; not to put down Dollverse , but sure as shooting lover can tell the difference between fansite - sourced rumors and official connection - release word to a degree that it would n’t take that much longer than , say , writing a crush release to correct misinformation ? Kevin from the site , of course , see things in a much more confrontational way :
The email was CC’ed into other staff at FOX . I essay replying to everybody to elucidate to the issue ; however nobody at FOX chose to respond . As far as I am cognizant , this is the first time a US web has tried to exert specific editorial control over a fan site , and I think merit a debate . As fan , do we need to get a line word FOX wants us or approve us to describe about a TV show we learn ? … [ W]e’d never need FOX do … things otherwise . Because we ca n’t . Because we ’re viewers . FOX can not also demand we do n’t hide certain content on the site . We might only be fans , but we ’re also viewers , and that yield us the major power to be a fandom .
No - one from Fox has ( in public , at least ) responded to the site draw the issue public , and officially , “ Epitaph One ” has not been announce as air on Fox in the US .
