YAY!

I've been wanting to see Sierra kill that raping fucknut ever since we first met him in the "everybody wakes up" episode. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Too bad she's still stuck being an indentured servant for the forseeable future.

[edit]
I told y'all that she was no volunteer! But did anybody listen? The only thing I was wrong about, was thinking that the Dollhouse was knowingly complicit in pressing her into service.

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

Where have you heard that? Don't play with my feelings, it's not nice.

Sigh. Inevitable sigh, but sigh.

Hopefully this means more Doctor Horrible though. And he moves to SyFy, where-they-would-not-cancel-the-show-because-they-do-not-get-high-ratings-normally-and-gave-SG:1-like-thirty-seasons.

Well there's definitely a Dr. Horrible sequel in the works, read an interview with Nathan Fillion.

But still. So dissapointing.

Any of them or all of them?

(ok, ok, I saw that interview too)

If it's any consolation, there's a reasonable chance the comic'll get picked up. Dark Horse and IDW have done incredibly well with the Buffy, Angel and Firefly series and Whedon said a few weeks ago that he'd figured out ho to do Dollhouse the same way.

lowky · **Reply #159 on:** November 12, 2009, 02:26:24 AM

Look at it this way, it gives Whedon time to write something a little bit better than dollhouse. I will miss the show, but if he's not working on Dollhouse, he can give us something better. If Buffy/Angel hadn't ended their run, we would never have gotten firefly/serenity, so.... His stories seem to be becoming a little more niche oriented, but over all I like the story ideas better.

I'm not sure if its a consolation. I'm certainly not averse to comics, but I've never understood how to "get into" them aside from picking up graphic novels when they're released (and I do rabidly adore, for example, sandman). Its a bit mystifying.

I have to say, while I love whedon on television/internet shows/the big screen, I have a real hard time enjoying his comics. Part of what makes whedon great is his ability to choose actors that can play his characters as three dimensional, but he doesn't seem to have the knack of writing comics in a way that makes character depth seem genuine. The characters end up feeling like caricatures of themselves.

Also, I tend to like the beginnings of whedon's worlds more than the later stages - his characters, esp. in the long running series, tend to start out simple and gain additional layers. In the beginning this is great but he doesn't really know when to stop, so by the end things tend to be really overwraught and everything seems to be reduced into an angsy mess. The comics, at least for buffy and angel, pick up at that point and just make it even worse.

Maybe dollhouse (which I've never seen) ended early enough that this isn't a problem

seconding this

and seriously I flipped Fox the middle finger from the beginning, but was willing to give Dollhouse a go from the getgo- after all E.D. in next to nothing on a regular basis? Yee! A nother Show by Whedon? Yee! Knowing it'll end suddenly? not so yee, but meh still worth the trouble.

they had to make way for Glen Beck's new sitcom, The Goddamn Socialist Nazis.

To be fair, at least they didn't cancel it after the first season. The numbers were bad back then, and it's somewhat out of character for them to be lenient.

I'm happy they didn't cut it right away- still sux that they did at all.

I'd still rather they dumped Dollhouse last season and kept Terminator. But it's not a perfect world.

Easiest way to get into comics as you said is buy the graphic novels, second easiest is to find a good comic book shop that will order/pull comics for you. God I miss my university comic shop, He would give us copies of the order books, and we could mark what we were interested in, so even if he didn't carry it, he would order it for us, because he usually ordered enough other books from each publisher, he could get away with single book orders. He would pull the books for us when they came in so they never even saw the store shelf. Had another one that would pull books but not order them, and then suddenly they closed one day. No warning. Rumor was he was going to open an internet based shop, but it never saw the light of day. All the good comic shops are vanishing. Probably because people order the graphic novel from Amazon. Don't get me wrong, I love the convenience of Amazon, but the small local stores, that would recommend things to you based on your purchases, and had a real love for it beats a cold bunch of pixels. Be it for books, music, or comics.

The inherent stupidities of plot in order to make this work, combined with the fact that even when not blank Dushku is never that interesting an actor means I'm not going to miss this like I thought I would do before the show started.

There's some speculation that the Dollhouse ARG may, quietly, be being used to set up Whedon's next project. Possibly huge spoilers here:
