i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Pretty much assuring me that I'll have to go back and watch season 1 again. Haven't seen last night's ep yet.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

You've hit the nail here, certainly on Dollhouse.CovenantJr wrote:I think the thing that keeps dropping Whedon in the poo is ambition. His one big success began with a very simple premise: reverse the 'vulnerable teenage girl' tradition. Firefly was quite bold and ambitious, and Dollhouse is downright visionary. Money people don't sign on for vision, or for thickly layered complexity that unfolds over the course of years. They sign on for accessibility and gimmicks. Buffy developed depth later, but started off simple. Firefly might have made it, but Dollhouse was doomed from the outset.
It's frustrating watching this show, knowing that a 3-4 season arc was crammed into half a season. IMO, the characters on this show truly suffered from the plot-driven need to finish the main arc.

I'm just starting season 2, but my gods the last (unaired?) episode of season 1 was just amazing. I can't wait for part 2 of the future episodes.
I have to admit my love for Olivia Williams as well.

Ok, I just finished Dollhouse, and I have to say - what a series. It began so slow to my tastes, starting as a problem of the week, but evolving into sooooooooo much more. It's just a pity the first half of both seasons were as dull as they were, but what a payoff at the end of both seasons.
Topher aside, I have to say the one I was most impressed with was the guy who played Victor was amazing, and quite a surprise. Those moments on the show when he plays Topher were just amazing, moving beyond just impression - he just nailed the part.
