Safety valve, but too little of one, was my guess.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I figured that since she isn't really his wife, and the neighbors might, like, notice the strange brunette hanging around, she needed a "friend" who was a plant. Otherwise she'd start talking to people who might have known the real wife and start asking awkward questions.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Okay - I sent out the emails and such today as I might as well mention it here. Dollhouse may be about to get pulled off air.
I don't like fan campaigns, but I'm running one for this for various reasons. I want this show to survive. If anybody has any ideas, post. Also, I owe Allyson a personal apology. After Drive got canned, I posted somewhere saying Tim probably wouldn't care 'cos of his pay. I have some of kind of personal connection to Dollhouse, and I now know - years too late - that was a SHITTY thing to do.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dollhouse may be about to get pulled off air.
But you still think they'll get to film all the episodes for the DVDs?
If anybody has any ideas, post.
Make someone else the main character.

I've no idea. I hope so! And you made me laugh.

What is even happening?
Good luck, Kevin. This isn't my show, so I don't have a stake in it, but I always feel for fans (and the crew) when a show is teetering. I do get fatigue on behalf of the troops, every time someone tries to rally them/us, though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I doubt the effectiveness of a fan campaign. Ssorry, Kevin. I know how much it hurts when a show you love gets cancelled but I think I'd be happy if Dollhouse went off the air because I'd like to see Joss do something else now.

Right? Because where's the emotional resonance?

I guess I'd rather see Joss do what makes him happy than what makes me happy, so if this is where he finds his resonance, so be it. I don't feel any urge to help him. I don't know what it would take to get me to raise another finger--just too disillusioned with the whole deal.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think, if one is contemplating a campaign, the first question should be, "Does anyone working on this show want it to continue?"
If the answer is yes, I would ask myself, "Are they bullshitting me?"
At which point I'd find a new hobby.
