Oops!

Just catching up on io9.com's great blog, and read this about Dollhouse. Wasn't sure whether it was reviewing the ep I've just watched, or whether I was one behind:

Most television shows either accept their limitations or transcend them. Dollhouse started out bashing its head against its limitations, before finally leaping over them. And after last night, I'm not sure it still has any. Spoilers and mindwipes ahead...

It's hard to believe this is still the same show that used to serve up timid "engagement of the week episodes" that only hinted at the questions that lurked in its premise. By my reckoning, this makes six outstanding Dollhouse episodes in a row. And what's more, the show is starting to race forward, at breakneck speed, as if to make up for its slow pace earlier.

Was it just me, or did your heart stop too when you read the words "Three months later"?
OK, that's SO not the one I've just watched, so I stopped there. My "reading the spoiler" days have stopped - they ruined the best bits of the last 3 series of Heroes, but I keep plodding on with it regardless.

Anyway, back to Dollhouse. Now, after reading that review, I can't wait to watch this episode!

I dunno all getting a bit smart for its own good I think (which is prob why it was cancelled like all good shows). Still good and scripts are well ahead of other shows, but I think season one was the best especially ep7 on. Felt alpha was hamming it up last night as the joker in some ways...

watched 7 & 8 last night, they seem to be doing a good job in tying up all the loose ends, I’m still waiting on whiskey reappearing at some point.
