I've just started watching this, getting as far as episode 2 including the pilot*. It's been fairly interesting, but quite run-of-the-mill stuff so far. However! I can see a lot of interesting potential in the premise, and I look forward to what's coming up. I'm informed by Nirejhenge and vague memories from earlier in this thread that it isn't brilliant near the start, so I'm eager to see how it becomes awesome. *handily named 'Episode 0', which Miss Malabar ignored and started Episode 1 rolling until I shouted at her. She could never be a computer programmer. |

Actually the pilot was not out until things arrived on DVD last year and some of it was cut up into later episodes so expect some repeating sections :-) It does start out with lots of potential and not going anywhere Season 1 sorta wanders for a while but the last few start picking up and then the final episode of S1 is a strange experience (but very well done - and another that was not shown in the regular season but released on DVD first). Season two had a few slower episodes at the very start but from about the 4th one in its been great (the next episodes are due in the US this Friday i think) |

I believe the final episode is called 'Epitaph: Two' so it should be a continuation of the first season's finale. I hope so. |

According to Felicia "Governmentyard's fantasy cockwarmer" Day, she's returning to the series, so I'd imagine so. NOMNOMNOM |

If you two watch dollhouse and think that she's the attractive one, you're both utterly broken. |

Why the fuck would I pick one woman in this Internet battle of unobtainable women? Because if you pick two, your opinion is diluted and you are not as "worthy". When asked to pick my three favourite celebrity women recently, my answer was: 1) Holly Willoughby 2) Holly Willoughby when she was on MoM 3) Holly Willoughby when she was pregnant |

I like Felicia Day lots. First time I saw her was on Dr Horrible's sing-a-long blog. Which is another fab Whedon thing. Considering I like Felicia rather a lot, it's surprising I don't watch The Guild. I guess it's because there's quite a lot of it and it's difficult getting started. And it's on Youtube, which is a bit annoying. For some reason. I can't wait to watch the next bit of Dollhouse now. |

So I've been completely loving Dollhouse from the start (I didn't even buy into the 'it's shit until episode six' nonsense) but the ending of s2e11 left me cold as fuck. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! That said, the rest of the episode was fairly awesome. |

I like the way Dollhouse has done cliffhangers without them being the heroes/lost style which just makes it feel like what has happened in the episode was rather pointless. |

I agree with Zaphod, this did seem a bit anticlimactic in a way. But I did enjoy some of the dialogue, mainly from Topher. There wasn't much other content in the episode. Not keen on the craster davpaz idea though. |

So. The last ever episode... ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! It was ok. A proper ending at least. In a few years I'll sit down and watch it through again I reckon and see what I think, but it certainly won't endure the same way that Firefly has (September to December 2002, folks, that's all Firefly got). |

After championing this when it came out I'm finally watching it. Only three and a half years late. It's quite good. Doesn't feel much like Wheedon yet, though. And I get the feeling I shouldn't have watched the pilot. |

First half-dozen were crippled by studio interference. That also results in a schizophrenic tone, where we can't decide if we're appalled by how Echo is treated or ogling her in fetish gear and rooting for her to solve the Caper Of The Week. This passes after a while. |

Also, and I've been meaning to say this since she first appeared on the screen, but Helo's neighbour Milly is gorgeous. You can keep skinny Echo and Sierra, and I'll have her, cheers. And then, after another hideously long week at work (with a night off on Wednesday, obv) holding it together at the end was, shall we say, close. |
