  • is tru a nickname?

    Is Tru a nickname? I've wondered if her given name was Truman, since her brother is named Harrison (I thought maybe her mother liked Presidents' names), or even if her name was the very un-trendy Gertrude? Or is this a fan fiction question?

    A young women develops an interesting power. hide « show »

    This show provided the perfect role for Eliza because she is incredibly beautiful and really good at action roles, but seems to have a limited emotional range. My problem with her in Dollhouse is that she lacks the ability to portray so many different characters but because Tru is so custom fit to her she does a really good job. The way she relives day and works at a morgue is an interesting twist on the groundhog day idea and it works really well with her job. The supporting cast also makes this show good. Her boss is quirky in just the right amount, not pushing it too far and as the show delves into his backstory his character only becomes more likable. Her brother also provides a lot of comic relief for the show. Her boyfriend however really ruined an entire season for me with his horrible acting and weak story line. Jason Priesly was great as the bad guy and he brought a very existentialist turn to the show which I wished they would of been able to continue. Too bad it was canceled, but it was good while it lasted

    BRING IT BACK! hide « show »

    I've just finished watching the 26 episodes on dvd, I am just so disappointed with how it ends with no real conclusion. There is no lack of storyline and with things left just hanging it is frustrating.

    Who was the good side or bad side or not as clean cut as that? Will we ever know, c'mon guys!

    There appears to be no lack of fans out there. Really good show, with great core characters. They could even bring it back set a few years down the line and explain what happened. So much better than most stuff on tv right now.

    one of the better shows that's no longer on tv hide « show »

    I started catching this show after it was cancelled on the sci-fi channel. I liked it a lot. So i netflix to entire series. Have not actually finished it yet but i can honestly say Fox threw away a gold mine of a good show. The characters, like many of my favorite shows, make this show worth watching. I love Tru Davies character and her "calling" is interesting. It really gets interesting half way through the first season when a couple of plot twists are revealed as well as at the end of the season. I also really like the interaction between Tru and her younger brothe, as well as Tru and Jack.

    Fox brought back Family Guy, now bring back Tru Calling.
