Dollhouse has been cancelled ,but they were warned very early in the second that they were basically cancelled. So everyone seems to think that the series will be wrapped up rather nicely. There are 3 episodes left to air, out of the 13 for season 2. The station I watch it on had aired 2 eps back to back for 3 weeks and Dollhouse is best when marathoned. The last half of season 2 so far is amazing!!!!! I definitely want the DVDs for the complete series.
I will say though that at the end of season one, episode 13 did not get aired. (it is on the DVD release). Episode 13 of season `is VERY VERY VERY VERY important and I HIGHLY recommend watching it before starting season 2 (either buy season 1 on DVD or download it). I have seen it and my sister hasn’t yet. Season 2 of Dollhouse is amazing, but it’s even more amazing knowing what happens in that 13th episode (called Epitaph one. The very last ep of Dollhouse the series is tentatively called Epitaph 2 . It’s
that important).
I was not sure if people were still into the show so I stopped posting on it even though the last half of season 2 is amazing. TV tropes calls the last half of the season, one gigantic
wham episode (still does not beat the ultimate nuclear bomb of a wham, episode Ep 22 of Code Geass, but, it’s close to Farscape-esque Wham I guess you could say, which is pretty good.)
In fact I am bit too scared to talk about it for fear of spoiling (there is that much whammage), BUT if people do want to discuss Dollhouse I would happily discuss it. I did not even know new people were watching it. (I will put all my spoilers in white since it would be horrible to spoil it).
Maria, considering the premise is about regular brainwashing, and knowing your response to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (which also involved brainwashing), this type of show I would not have thought you would watch.
Dollhouse is really a brilliant show, but it was too slow to get started with the main plot and it was on Friday nights. From what I read it seems it was given a second season, mainly to placate Joss Whedon fans after what happened with Firefly, and the DVR numbers were good. The second season, the ratings have not improved and frankly although Dollhouse is brilliant show with some mind bogglingly brilliant acting (keep an eye on the guy who plays Victor), I am not surprised. I don’t think some of the ideas for of Joss Whedon’s shows is not a good fit for Network television and probably should be on some subscription based cable station, where the show isn’t in constant fear of bad ratings and is actually allowed to grow. The ideas are deep and complex and deep and complex does not fit for a network of LCD grab for viewers.
