I had issues as well.
Someone at TWoP said that they wished that the show had been cancelled back when it sucked, so it wouldn't suck so much.
Yeah, that's kind if how I feel.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The second episode froze up for an excruciatingly long time here in LA.
I've had a weird coincidenty day. First we were watching "True Blood" and Lafayette had Gilda on tv which D had never seen so after that we watched Gilda. Then just now we're watching "Dollhouse" and Sierra comes back to the dollhouse as Gilda. Kinda freaky.

We had sound/freezing issues here, too. Very annoying.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Dollhouse has always been plagued by technical glitches for me. I wondered if it was a meta decision on Joss' part.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Also, the many fights, big and small, were quite sweet, although my two fave were the one where Echo does the jump-up-and-attack-from-above, and the prison fight from the barred windows. Also, the hysterical image of Alpha flying across the room as a sign of just how pissed she is. So OTT and awesome.

I love how Victor and Sierra are attracted to each other even when they are imprinted.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
After watching "V" and then this, i'm amazed at how well Alan pulls off super creepy.

I love that Kristen Hersh song they used at the end of the 2nd episode. It's much stronger in the original version (sung with Michael Stipe.) Can you imagine if they had had Kristen Hersh to write the Dollhouse theme song? It would still be hypnotic but much more intense and interesting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can you imagine if they had had Kristen Hersh to write the Dollhouse theme song?
Good call. Her work has always had that element of the splintered psyche.
Wow. So I watched the last five episodes and talk about narrative propulsion. It's like they've telescoped several seasons down into this burnoff and it's pretty fucking amazing.
I love the new dandy Alpha. ("I've gone a little Brummell.") I'm sensing a lot more Joker in him than previously. (Where he was more like Natural Born Killers, I guess.) And Alan's performance has been incredible. And all the shifting alliances and Summer as Bennett (which I liked a lot) and Keith Carradine's perfectly pitched corporate evil.
I think this is the show Joss wanted to make. It just makes me so frustrated that they wasted most of the first season on those crap standalone episodes that were rush rewritten.
But this is really thrilling and thought provoking stuff. It's good science fiction.
