I liked Dollhouse better, personally, but I will miss Sarah Connor Chronicles. Although I stopped watching it after fox stupidly moved it from Mon. to Fri.

Fox sucks.

TiVo is my friend. I don't have to care about what night a show airs, or what time of day or night.
Apparently the networks (not just FOX) are stuck in a paleolithic mindset that considers people who don't watch a show live as it airs, to be irrelevant. I mean, even VCRs have been around for decades.

"Dat entirely too correct!"

The stupid VCR in my TV broke a while ago, and no TIVO.

*sad face*

oh well, I get by.

Why even bother with Dollhouse any more? No guarantees that FUX won't cancel it at the end of next season. I'm tempted to just give up on FUX and be done with them ... I suppose they'll be cancelling House next (which I think is the only other show on that network that I watch)

Well, to each their own, but I enjoyed each episode up to and including the season finale. Looking forward to what next season may bring, regardless of Fox's manipulation.

I absolutely love House too. I suspect its on somewhat safer ground, as it seems to have gained mainstream appeal.

Oh and as an aside...

why we should not boycott fox, from the guy behind Sarah Conner Chronicles

I think watching Dollhouse from here on out, each episode is going to make me die a little more inside.

Russell Nash · **Reply #132 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:47:33 PM

I mentioned way back in the beginning of this thread that Eliza is just too thin right now. I think it's really unhealthy, but more importantly, it makes her character unbelievable. When she's in "secret agent mode" she fights and kicks the butts of guys who are seventy pounds of pure muscle heavier than her. She's so thin even with super skills she wouldn't be able to take one of these guys.

This picture was posted in our Picture Association thread. I think she is a far better example of what Echo should look like. She's drop dead gorgeous and she's strong.

It would be a lot easier to give Eliza that body than to teach Allison Stokke (The lady in the pic) how to act.

I don't mind either way, it started poorly, got good in the middle and then plummeted back into the bad place quite hard for it's last episode, I'm trying to tell myself that the first series of Buffy wasn't that good either...

Talia · **Reply #134 on:** June 07, 2009, 02:46:35 PM

I thought the last episode was pretty good myself.

CGFxColONeill · **Reply #135 on:** June 07, 2009, 10:22:44 PM

I still like the second episode the best this season... I was shocked when I found out they had renewed it though as I was pretty sure it was dead when they started it out on friday nights ( fox's attempt to kill another of Joss's shows?) that said I am really happy that they did though

Russell Nash · **Reply #136 on:** June 08, 2009, 12:56:53 PM

It seems that the Friday night placement wasn't the dumbest of ideas. The fans of the show seem to come from the most technically proficient viewers. So they took a night where very few people watch TV, and put on a show where most of the viewers use Tivo. The Neilson ratings were consistently crap for this show, but the Tivo ratings were always rather high.

stePH · **Reply #137 on:** June 08, 2009, 02:55:25 PM

I'd still rather have Terminator renewed.

Praxis · **Reply #138 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:25:35 PM

(I'm assuming that this thread doesn't need spoiler warnings, given the topic.)

A thought:
by the end of the last episode/series agent Ballard is going to be part of the Dollhouse. We see him apparently just about to start in his new job, once he sees that his ex-neighbour is being released. All is well......

But we don't see him going from
'hey, I've finally broken in to this godawful place and am going to shut it down' to
'Hey, this Dollhouse is fine to work in, and I have no problems with being part of what goes on here (letting someone's ex sell them into this place and routinely hire them back for rape-visits,for example) at all. Tra-la-la'

Does anyone *really* buy that he agreed to this?
Personally I'm waiting for the reveal that they strapped him down and re-wired his brain so that he thought he wanted to work there, etc.

But maybe I just don't want to believe that Helo I mean Ballard would sell-out.

deflective · **Reply #139 on:** June 28, 2009, 10:25:08 PM

he may be working it from the inside. he just found out that dollhouse is a massive international operation, he needs to collect information before he has any real chance of revealing them.

That list's a little sketchy, nto sure how many of those will work, but no download.

The DVDs are already out, so you should just be able to rent it.

DKT · **Reply #144 on:** September 21, 2009, 06:44:24 PM

Okay, Dollhouse fans, if I was going to give a show another chance, what episodes from season 1 are worth watching? I mean, completely worth watching. I know the last episode or two were supposed to be really good, and the 13th episode on DVD only. So that's three. Were there any others?

I don't want to waste an hour of my time for 20 seconds of mythology - that was part of what turned me off when I watched back-up dancer ep. But if there's other episodes worthwhile, I'd be curious...

Praxis · **Reply #145 on:** September 22, 2009, 09:35:26 PM

I think it's hard to say which episodes in series 1 are (the only) ones worth watching. Partly because there are various "reveals" thoughout the series but also because in most episodes we are shown a different aspect of the Dollhouse process or ethos and/or of the possible uses of the imprinting technology and how it can go so very very wrong.

I'd say watch them all, if only so that by the end (and in readiness for season 2) you have all the nuances you should have to get what is going on.

Or, if you have to have a smaller list,
definitely avoid episodes 2 and 3, and probably also 5
definitely definitely see episodes 6 7 8 and the the finale

...but then episode 10 has some light to shed on the whole story, episode 11 was a bit slow but explains what is happening in the finale...... Generally, I don't know how interesting some of the twists would be if you've not seen the earlier context, you may have to just bite the bullet and watch them all, there's not that many.

Just got done watching last Friday's episode. I'm trying to enjoy the show, but it's kind of hard when I wish I were watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles instead.

Talia · **Reply #147 on:** October 06, 2009, 03:42:03 AM

I rather like Dollhouse more than the Chronicles myself - but I do miss summer Glau's character.

that was a good show. They do always cancel the good stuff, those f*ckers.

Well she is joining the cast of Dollhouse so win some lose some...

That's what I'd _heard_ though I'd also heard of STC's potential resurrection.
