I went into watching the pilot pretty skeptical but keeping my fingers crossed. I've always liked Eliza (Faith FTW!) and the concept seemed interesting. However, I was concerned with where it was actually going to go, I knew from the early summaries like a year ago that she was going to slowly start remembering things, but to what ends? I was just kind of worried that it would be one of those things that don't last well as a series. After tonight I can see more potential but even still, we'll have to wait and see. I can see it taking on an ALIAS vibe with her and her handler being double agents against the company whilst the company doesn't know it. (Maybe along with Amy Acker's Character and Alpha?)
I do like it though, it's in a terrible terrible time slot. Friday nights usually spell death for a tv-series. I even forgot until 8:50 that it would be on and I've been looking forward to it all week. It doesn't help that Fox LOVES to cancel shows. FIrefly, Tru Calling, Dark Angel.....all good shows that ended before their

FOX said originally that they were giving Dollhouse this timeslot to let it grow an audience. They originally scheduled for a Monday night viewing but the CEOs realized they would kiss it too soon and not let it get fans because the ratings would be really low compared to other Monday shows.
Supposedly.
Anyway, I found that by re-watching both episodes that you don't need the pilot to really understand episode 2. In terms of action, character development, and pacing, episode 2 is far better. It also really hooks you into the series much better than the pilot. But that was just my initial gut-reaction about the whole thing.
I did like the pilot, but I enjoyed episode 2 much more.

OT: and I gave up on HEROES about 2 months ago.
