Marry me, Doris Egan

[anoel]

Can Doris Egan write every episode of House from now on? Seriously, she's the best at it and every episode by her makes me happy. In honor of her amazing episode of House tonight, for the first time ever I changed my journal title to "Doris Egan is my God" because she really, really is. I think she's my favorite writer now that Dollhouse isn't

Yay! I'm so glad you got to go to the con -- sounded like you needed it.

[anoel]

I really, really did. I feel much better now. Cons rule!

What aren't you liking about Dollhouse? Maybe it's just me, but that kind of show never interests me; it's almost secret agent-like, and I'm just really not into that

I'm just not seeing the humor. I could forgive almost everything if there was actual sparkling dialogue but I'm not seeing it. The other thing is I love quirky, lovable characters he's so good at and this show just doesn't have them. I get that it's part of the premise and I'm willing to wait but that's why I'm not connecting. I am intrigued, like you, with Echo remembering things and trying to find her identity along with the Alpha plotline but I need more to make me love a show.

The difference between this show and Firefly is I LOVELOVEDLOVED Firefly from the very beginning although Buffy did take awhile to grow on me so I'm giving Joss time with that since apparently it does get better. I have no idea if Dollhouse will get better, I hope it does but I'm very cynical about Fox so we'll see. I still kind of like Joss, it's just not love yet.

House was amazing last night.

[anoel]

It was! Wish it was always like that.

I think Doris is by far the best writer on the staff because she is a continuity JUNKIE (except for some facts that just don't add up). She took this little piece of info from an early first-season episode and brought it back. She brought around the losing people thing from "Birthmarks", which by necessity evokes the whole Amber arc. She's just good at making the show seem like a complete world with a unique history, including the backstory she puts in for all the characters.

We're just blessed that she also happens to love House/Wilson, so we reap most of the benefits! :D

She really, really is. To be fair, people have been bugging them about the brother plotline but still, I'm so glad she was the one to do it. She definitely gets the characters and finds ways of making them tick.

Yes, we are SO very lucky! Of course that's part of her appeal :)
