Dollhouse (in Off-topic)

Holy .... If you haven't seen this week's dollhouse, SEE IT (or watch it, if you're not on the East Coast)

It's freaking AMAZING.


2 more weeks until the season finale. Wow.

Discovered it a while back and have been keeping up with you guys in the states via download.

It's one of the few TV series that I go out of my way to watch.

I haven't heard of it before, will definitely check it out.

Joss Whedon's latest unloved offspring...

I think I'll have to start from the beginning before I jump in.

Eliza Dushku? Umm ya will definitely give it a go ;)

Yes, definitely. Start from the beginning.

I have to warn you, Season 1, episodes 3-6/7ish could be better, but trust me when I say this, it's worth watching them when you see later episodes.

Season 2 starting from episode 4 (4 is one of my favorite episodes) onwards have all been knock-your-socks-off good.

Yes,

Watched from the beginning.

Just finished the episode with the Senator and the Handler. Have about 4 hours Tivo'd.

However it should be 2 more weeks till the SERIES finale.

It will not be back for a 3rd season :(

Dollhouse is amazing.

I still haven't gotten around to seeing how they managed to continue Weeds after the first season ended. Last I remember, they ended 30 seconds before mommy and homeboy were dead, big son is doing some major time, and little son was running away to find a spaceship with Trish...

Dollhouselooks interesting enough to check it out. If it's really that good, it won't stay canceled. Futurama much? :P

Tell that to Firefly.

Live action shows are different than cartoons.

Sigh. Firefly. Otherwise known as Whedon's Adventures Of Han Solo. One of my favourite series ever. And special for introducing me to Christina Hendricks. Ah.

Firefly was Whedon's best. Far superior to Dollhouse.

The only show I can say is as good, if not better for overall plot is Babylon 5.

Wow,

Just finished the attic episode. Just wow.

"Angel" ended with one of the best finales I've seen, still. Sure, the series stumbled, but not as badly as Buffy, and we'll never know how Firefly would have turned out.

Jubal Early: Does that make sense to you?

Season Finale, if you haven't seen Epitaph One, is a little different.

If you have seen Epitaph One, it's on the same level of amazing.

Watch it.

Do I need to see part 1 before the series finale?

buffy stumbled i don't think so angel was a much more hit and miss show than buffy. Buffy has and will always be in my opinion be one of the best series ever along with stargate :) Best episode angel had was the one were he turned into a puppet that was hilarious.

No, you don't have to see it. Since it's set in the future, it has a different feel to it.

I meant to say it was similar to the Season 1 finale - different, but amazing.

This thread makes me miss Firefly. How one of the best shows of all time can be canceled like that still makes me hate the networks.

How can one show be universally revered by everyone I ever talk to online and yet still not be watched enough to be brought back?

The finale was great.

Even if Serenity 'retconned' some fluff for the sake of new viewers. ;)

And Sute;

"Are you Alliance?"
"A Lion? No but I've got a mighty roar!"

(I loved Jayne in that episode. It all kicks off, and you see Jayne wake, rip down the blanket covering his guns, and you think, "uh oh, here he goes to kick bottom!", when he just uses it to cover himself and go back to sleep!)

Oh and Firefly still

lol! That should have been the greater than sign! :P

All this talk of Firefly makes me want to watch it again. George Lucas should watch that instead of being inspired by Avatar as he apparently is.

Do we really need a 3d rework of Star Wars??!?!?

I also really loved Farscape...

Farscape...

That brings back memories.

I watched it until it went off the air for a while and never really advertised when it was coming back. I think I watched for 3 seasons.

Great premise but degenerated a bit near the end.

The best of all series I think was Babylon 5. Very tight plot except the last 1/2 of the 5th year due to a contract dispute making Claudia Christian leave.

B5 was great. First series to really have an on going plot. JMS is awesome.

But, the end of the Shadow War sucked so much.

I loved Babylon 5, some of those were amazing tv.
