The final episodes are a fitting end to the story. Quintessential Joss Whedon.

Of course the last one was very very rushed. It would have been better as a whole season than a one hour episode. But that's to be expected under the circumstances, and it's better to have a good rushed end rather than no end at all.

If nothing else, I hope the networks will study this for how to cancel a series without leaving the fans in a lurch and the story unfinished.

5 episodes into the first season (Yay! Netflix). So far it is... yeah, eh. Looking forward to episode 6 "when it gets really good."

You know, every now and then a woman comes along for whom the internet seems to completely drool.... but I have just never found Eliza Dushku to be very attractive. Something about her is off-putting, to me.

Her lack of penis?

Possibly. I still feel the same way about Dexter's sister in Dexter. Something about her makes me want to vomit.

Her ugly face?

Admittedly, I have to say neither one does much for me either, but Eliza's decent.

Jennifer Carpenter is attractive enough, although her eyes do seem to be unusually far apart.

I never cared much for Eliza Dushku during Buffy, but I warmed up to her during Dollhouse.

One thing I never realized when I was hearing about the show as it was on TV is that these dollhouse peeps... are essentially whores. That seems to be what most of them get rented out to be... whores.

Joss Whedon and his whores... amirite?

I found the series to be "eh."

The quirky Whedonesque dialogue works well when the characters are southern California high school students, but it is disconcerting when the characters are FBI agents, doctors, and shadowy evil corporate people. Thankfully there wasn't a ton of that.

Twists and character deaths came a mile a minute the last few episodes. Very Whedon.

But overall, just... meh. I would call it "good" but just barely. The least interesting show Whedon has ever made, IMO.
