of love and crack pot recaps

[seraphcelene]

1.) I love Julian Sands. Always have, probably always will.

2.) Was the last season of Dollhouse as crackpot as the recaps make it sound? Because, dude, if that's the case then I'm kinda glad that I opted out on that one. Seriously, Joss? Are we really surprised that Dollhouse was canceled? Really?

There was a lot of failiness in how S1 was handled, in my opinion, and it seems to have been the network pressure that caused the fail - at least what I considered "fail." It really took far too long for the show to get "good" and I was continuing to watch solely because I'd heard it *would* improve. I can't blame people for giving up before then.

From what I've read, many people did decide it just wasn't a really good show, based on early S1, and then changed their minds during late S1 and/or S2. I'm looking forward to a mass re-watch of the DVDs when S2 comes out, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be impatient and disappointed with the first half of S1. A lot of time wasted that could have been devoted to quality storytelling ... grrr. Unavoidably the cancellation has left us with questions and unfilled plot holes.

And of course for some people it's just not a story they're interested in - a valid issue to be sure.

Your complaint about Echo not engaging you is a common one - I didn't care about her much either until S2! She changes a lot.

It's worth watching the entire series just to be awed and amazed by the brilliant Enver Gjokaj, even if you don't care about the show in general. Seriously. That guy is incredible.
