Note:  I consider Dollhouse spoilers to be a public service.

So, I just watched the first episode of Reaper, and am deeply confused.  People actually willingly watch more than one episode of that?  On purpose?  That may have been the most singularly awful pilot episode of something that I've ever seen.  Then again, I tend to hate the Michael Myers/ ( Read more... )

Post prompted largely by Paul Cornell’s post here, in which intelligent TV apparently didn’t exist before the current popular shows, and the only reason anyone wouldn’t like Dollhouse is if they couldn’t handle things not always being perfectly black and white ( Read more... )

Does anyone else read Christmas regencies? Because I went through my backlog yesterday and pulled all of mine out. Most tend to be terribly formulaic and feature cranky, scrooge-ish men having their hearts melted by Pure Women (of a lower class, of course) children and puppies and in short have plots I typically shun but devour when in the form ( Read more... )

So, the last 3 books I read?

ZOMG! Holocaust and dead grandmother!

ZOMG! Dying of Werners!

ZOMG! Domestic abuse!

I also read some of ZOMG!  300 page letter to comatose daughter!  That one is Paula by Isabel Allende.  It's they second book of Allende's that I've tried, but while I really like her writing, something keeps me from being able to get into ( Read more... )

Wow. Joss Whedon, you just managed to offend me on levels I didn’t know I had while simultaneously boring me to tears. I didn’t know that was possible.

I should mention that this episode is the FOURTH TIME that this show has had a man assault a woman with “good” results. Possibly more. I did skip two episodes, after all. This is particularly ( Read more... )

I may have reached the point with this show where I'm more worried about being creeped out by praises for and justifications of it than anything the actual show will throw at me. ( Spoilers may be starting to become deadened to the pain. )

My opinion here is unpopular with both critics and fans of the show: Interesting concept, but poorly thought out, often totally illogical, overdramatic, and a large chunk of the dialogue made me wonder if it was supposed to be a parody.

And yet, like with when the series started, I kept thinking throughout that if this were a manga, it’d be totally ( Read more... )

So, if I could erase the miracle catch and everything after it, I would like the episode?

So, I thought LJ gave you a few more icons when you renewed your paid account? I just renewed and they didn’t! I had icons picked out and everything! Anyway…

So, tonight is the season finale of Dollhouse. When the first episode aired, I mentioned that the series, while deeply problematic, had a lot of my narrative kinks. This remains true, though ( Read more... )

giandujakiss 's Dollhouse vid is now on youtube.  The video's title is "WhatYouPay," the description is "dollhouse," and the only tag is "fun."

Make of that what you will.  The possible interpretations make 8 hours of customer complaints and being blamed for their inability to manage funds and/or pay bills on time look positive.
