Sci-Fi Friday!

Sometimes I look through old journal entries and see these great lines and wonder if it's okay to steal them for actual stories or books later. They deserve to be seen by a larger audience! For instance, my last post contained the following line, re: my car:
It gets me from point A to point B, but not point C, which is where the chicks are.

I didn't find this week's BSG all that WTF, could you please elaborate more?

I agree that Dollhouse is uncomfortable and that it will get canceled. Hopefully we get a bit of an interesting story first.

It was an hour of dizzying exposition about crazy Cylon history, and my brain could not put it all together in a sensemaking fashion, especially after ELLEN TIGH DESIGNED ALL THE OTHER MODELS.

With only six episodes left, I was expecting a big dump of exposition soon, so I guess I was just like, "Oh, good, the story!" It does seem oddly disproportionate after years of getting only a tiny bit of story at a time, but what else could they really do?

Ellen is awesome. I think I need an Ellen HBIC icon now...

I actually really liked Dollhouse. I hope it doesn't get canceled. :(

Informative! I didn't catch that line when I read the post. It's funny and you should steal it from yourself later, but make up for it by coming up with a second funny thing when you do. That way you pay it forward...to yourself.

I didn't know Dollhouse had premiered! What channel is it on? I may have to watch it in non-download format! Not gonna miss the boat on this Whedon show, no sir!

It's on FOX, so the chances of it lasting over a season are about 8%.

Dollhouse will get cancelled, because it's on FOX and FOX has a hardon for screwing over Joss. Plus, it's a show with Eliza in, and she is the female Nathan Fillion.

Plus, it seems to be a show that you have to pay attention to the overall storyarc, whatever it turns out to be.
