Well that would be good. But has Joss really not had the opportunity to go elsewhere? Or has Fox simply offered more money?

"I had no choice. They waved money under my nose."

has Joss really not had the opportunity to go elsewhere?

That's where Eliza was.

It's not like he's Tim, who's repeatedly been hammered by Fox.

Maybe he just never thought of a cable show. Or cable never thought of a Joss show.

You know, the fact that Joss' people set up the lunch makes me think that Joss has something in mind.

OK - my DVR is telling me that the next/last Dollhouse is not this Friday, but the Friday after. Is that a change, or was that what was announced in the preview?

In the preview it said "in two weeks". Aargh.

Friday is the Haiti telethon.

::sigh::

So tonight, it ends.

I hope Joss is going to continue rollicking all the way to the bitter end, and that we get a good goodbye.

I've had my issues and cold spots with the show, but I am going to miss it. Despite the problems, I really liked seeing most of the actors handle most of the material.

Ah, Enver, Olivia, Harry, Fran, Reed, Amy, even sometimes Tahmoh.

I'm going to miss it too.

Also, I think whatever grievances people have with Joss anybody would have to admit he's got a real eye for talent and has found a lot of spectacular actors and writers over the years.

I also appreciate how well he tweaks character. How he kept finding new ways to show off Enver, how he tailored the story back to Eliza's strengths and away from her weaknesses. Alpha and Bennett and Topher were all characters that started a little stiff or off and got more intriguing as he revisited those characters and shaped their stories.

Olivia Williams was flat out perfect from the beginning but he managed to exploit her considerable range beautifully. Who else was giving her this kind of role?

He did a fantastic job with Amy Acker, basically going Scruffy!Wesley with her and she more than met the challenge. I loved every scene with Dr. Saunders after she found out she was a doll.

I also appreciate a couple little things he's done with casting over the years as he's been responsive to criticism. After BtVS he's always worked harder to cast black actors. And he's also consciously worked to create roles for women who weren't all size 2.

Fuck, I hope he gets a show on FX. I hope he gets a 13 episode season and no interference.

even sometimes Tahmoh

But Tahmoh was always pretty, so at least we have that.
