Never leave me again, Geeks with No Lives Night! *clings*

And the geeks are rejoicing! Although, I only watched Sarah Connor and BSG. Dollhouse will wait until tomorrow.

• You know what? They may just be explaining too much for a single episode. Infodumpy to an eyerollworthy degree.

Yeah, I felt the same way. At first my mind was blown by the start of the big revelations, but as it continued I thought it was an awful lot for one episode. And since they have, what 6?, 7? more eps I actually wanted them to slow down and leave some nuggets for later on in the season.

"No Exit" had enough exposition for three or four episodes. You're right that it started out fine, but then they just kept going and going and going and what the hell?

I've recorded "Dollhouse" and I'm going to watch it only because Tahmoh is in it. I saw the panel for "Dollhouse" at ComicCon and it did not make me want to watch it. However, seeing Tahmoh was pretty cool.

Yeah, BSG was info dump tonight. I guess they wanted to get all that info out before they get back to the utter coolness of the previous two episodes...I hope.

So cool about Ellen. :)

Tahmoh all shirtless and sweaty and violent was the high point of the episode. By a lot. And I'm not a Helo fan (because of how the character is written, not the actor).

[endlessdeep]

I watched Dollhouse and thought it was OK. There was a lot of bad, but Tahmoh. Did he say anything during the ep? I do remember shirtless and sweaty. I think I can sit through the horribleness of Eliza Dushka for a few seconds of Tahmoh every week. :)

I have to agree about how Helo was written. Pfft. They should have had him shirtless more often. ;)

[morwen_peredhil]

Didn't he have some dialogue with another FBI agent in a different scene? (For some reason, I don't remember that as vividly as the boxing scene.)

I wanted to like Helo, but the writers made that impossible. Feh.

[miniglik]

Ah! I forgot to watch Dollhouse! D'oh.

(I agree about Eliza, but I'll give her a chance. And I like Tahmoh.)

[morwen_peredhil]

I'm hoping for a lot more Tahmoh as the series goes on.

[miniglik]

Would not be the first time I watched a show purely for the hot man.

now if only you can tell me how to make chocolate ganache...

cupcakes = yum

[morwen_peredhil]

Ganache sounds fancy and difficult, but it's just cream and chocolate. Yum.

Oh, I had missed your commentary! :D

I liked seeing all the old faces, however as another friend pointed out, Dollhouse lacked the familiar repartee of Joss Whedon. That's what I like about him.

[morwen_peredhil]

Dollhouse needs to be more Jossy. I, too, kept waiting in vain for characters to say clever, amusing things.

[raincitygirl]

The whole thing I liked about that little snippet of scene that got leaked last year was the Joss-ian dialogue. While the scene didn't do a whole lot for me in general, I got all a-squee over Fed!Helo saying, "You've got to be straight with me" and Eliza-in-push-up-bra retorting, "Oh yeah? Well, you guys have been pretty frigging bendy with me." Because that kind of play on words, even though there was just the one, is the kind of thing that Joss does well, damnit.

I taped Dollhouse but still haven't watched it.

Good point about Sarah Connor doing a Baltar. And I concur with your opinion of Jonathan Jackson's pathetic facial scruff. If the stubble is going to look THAT bad, for heaven's sake make him clean-shaven.

[morwen_peredhil]

I didn't know anything about Dollhouse but its star and its premise before last night. I was underwhelmed, but I'll give it a few more chances.

Yeah, that was the least manly stubble I've ever seen.
