Well, he's got a proven history of putting out good shows. It would be sad if he did something bad and you couldn't admit it was bad, but thus far nothing he's done has really sucked.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

anyone following the dollhouse arg?

WTFingF is that?  ???

I don't know if it was done to generate interest in the show to save it or what, but that link to whedonesque tends to cover much of what has been found.  Rossum has a web page and phone number, my understanding is if called you will get text messages and call backs, including the remote wiping tone (being in China without the ability to call overseas from my mobile I can't confirm), there are websites like ditchthetech.com and wipethefuture.com that are all part of an ARG.  it seems quite interesting, I wish I was able to be a bit more immersed in it.

I mean, I followed the link and I can't make a damn bit of sense out of what it links to.

some of the original sites have already updated to new content that won't link you to the further content in the ARG which is why i linked to what had been found rather than the original pages.

Ah.  Screw it.  I don't care enough about Dollhouse or Whedon to dig deeper.

OMFG that last episode with Topher imprinted into "Victor" was every kind of awesome!  The actor playing Victor nailed the part. ;D 

I'm finally starting to really like this show, just when it's about to be over.  :(

Okay, seriously, wotthehell?  ???

Past three weeks, FUX ran two episodes of Dollhouse back-to-back on its scheduled night.  And now, they're taking three weeks off.

Why teh FUCK wouldn't they just run single episodes for six weeks instead?

So those days, being holidays, are regularly programmed differently than a usual day of the week. It would, in fact, be surprising if they weren't. New Year's day a bit less so than Christmas, but still, usually programmed differently. I understand being annoyed at a gap between episodes, but the apparent anger seems odd, as it's not exactly random. Ignoring Christmas in the programming schedule of a major network would be like a rocket scientist ignoring gravity when devising orbitals.

Not anger as such, just a bit of a boggle.  Besides, that's only two weeks of holidays, and they ran three weeks of double episodes and are following it with three weeks off.

The timing really isn't unusual, this is commonplace practice for TV shows. The only odd thing is the double episodes, and that's because the show was cancelled midway through the series, because Fox sucks.

I hate you, Fox.

I'm a bit behind so the latest episode I've seen is the one where Echo helps the Mexican woman to escape from prison and frankly, where Echo is now with the various different personalities coming to the fore as needed, this is where the program needed to be in the middle of the first season, not now when it's too late.

I also didn't recognise Summer Glau initially because I'm not used to her having that much dialogue.

But there is some elements of characters being reduced to vessels to move plot around, probably due to imminent cancellation, such as Topher and Adelle's wildly inconsistent levels of care for the dolls they send out to whore in the world for them, Topher helpfully making plans for a machine that will allow anyone to imprint into anyone else at any time and then Adelle backstabbing him by passing the plans to the people who have just demoted and demeaned her.

Under the circumstances, it ended well — and Whedonesque.
