After the week I've had here, I'm only interested in things that lift my spirits and make my heart soar. These are some of those things

Yeah, I expect you'll be bothered by Dollhouse's gender politics (I myself found myself uncomfortable at parts) but I wanted to say that I really enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I watched it right after BSG, or maybe it was just Tahmoh looking pretty, but I thought the show has potential. I just have to keep reminding myself that all of Joss Whedon's shows start off quite slow and then get really good. I tend to forget that until I remember how I was bored by Buffy until S2 and it became really awesome. ;)
As for SCC, I actually caught parts of it last night. It was my background noise while I discussed BSG on sasa_hq. I did pay attention to particular scenes, and was very curious about what was going on. (There was a guy and doctor there, then there was just a doctor, so I'm guessing Sarah was hallucinating? I don't know, I've never seen the show.) SCC has always been on my list of shows to watch. Given the state of BSG, I think I'll spend my Friday nights catching up on SCC, watching Dollhouse, and then sometime Sunday I'll maybe watch BSG. *shrugs*
Yeah, Joss's shows do start slow. However, they generally only reveal the true depths of the bad gender politics LATER. Therefore I feel it's worrying that they're out there so much already. :( Oh well, I still have to see for myself.
SCC is brilliant but does require some dedicated chronological viewing as it's a real subtle build-up show... last night was masterful in giving understated moments of intense character development pay-off but I've no idea how it would have come over to a casual viewer. Yes, Sarah was hallucinating.
I'm definitely with you on the order of shows to watch right now. ;)
