I actually think Joss was joking in that quote. I have to admit that think one of the big issues with Dollhouse is that the season was started with those godawful standalones which made it seem as if it was about making Eliza dress up in outfits and service various guys. I have heard from very good sources that JW was forced to start with the standalones by the studio, and that he was heartbroken and furious about it and that if he didn't have 100s of jobs depending on him, he would have walked away. "His" series is about all the issues of identity which started showing up midway through the season. I liked what I saw of his series, even though the season as a whole did that central idea a huge disservice.

yes, Scrappy, there's at least some truth to that. If you read the script for the original pilot, it's very different, and gives a completely different perspective. A lot of the things that were in that very first script didn't show up until 3 or 4 episodes into the show.

Yep, this is how I feel, too.

Yeah, I hope next year there will be more to watch besides "Ooh, shiny" but we'll see.

No matter how many times I hear about that kind of thing happening, I still get the creeps. There was even a case a few months after I saw Aidan, which was super creepy.

Quester,
I saw it on the news. I was really undone by the details. It would be a good thing to avoid the specifics.

It's even creepier when it happens in the city you live in. The found the baby alive, luckily.
