Dollhouse
The last episode of Dollhouse has confirmed my belief that the show's greatest weakness is in insisting that Echo is the main character. At first, I thought it might have been Dushku's acting, which reminds me too much of Faith. Then again, that could have been my own failing. Still, looking at what they've written for Echo, I can't say that she's very engaging. The episodes that I liked the best are the ones where she's kind of just another cast member and other characters get spotlight time. It's the same problem I had with Repo: the Genetic Opera.

I do hope that the show isn't cancelled, but it's not for Echo. It's for Victor and Saunders and Topher and Ballard and DeWitt....

the boyd & ballard show is something i would watch for EVER. FOR. EVER. i want them to spent six more seasons fighting crime and being awesome. sierra & topher's birthday buddy bash was so touching. dewitt stoned on memory drugs was hilarious. the girl they have playing november was so hot i could die, especially when she was playing against (nnnh) tahmoh penikett. victor is cute like a little lost puppy and i want to know more about his military background. "whiskey" saunders needs to get some get back in the worst way. i'm a wee bit disappointed that alpha was a killer beforehand, but not enough that i don't love him as a villain.

i love this SHOW.

And notice how you didn't rave about Echo? See what I'm sayin'?

My jaw dropped the first time I saw November, and my girl and I both made NRRGHN noises. Also, when Ballard gets all aggressive and angsty with Mellie...nrrrrghn.

Alpha.... You know, Alpha sort of is the symbol of the non-surprise that is Dollhouse. I mean, everything that happened in the last episode wasn't a terrible surprise/twist, but it's the kind of stuff I find entertaining. It's like reading a certain kind of fanfic - you know what to expect for the most part, but you keep reading it because it's the sort of thing you enjoy. Every once in awhile, you get something surprising ("What I don't understand is why you thought it was important that I hate you. That seems a little weird.") but it's a small thing.

Of course, it's the small things that get to me. Which is why I don't want the show to be cancelled.

i loved alpha so much more in 1x11, when he was like, wash, wash, wash, SUDDENLY SERIAL KILLER. i was full of clappy glee.

did you know there'll be one more episode on the DVDs, when they're released?

Yes. I have heard of this mysterious Episode 13. I am of the opinion it should be a web release viral thing. *nodnod*
