Yes, but I thought it aimed for the Onion and hit "My issues, let me show you them."

I am with erika here. I'm sure he was just being "sarcastic" and I'm sure I'm just being a "humorless bitch" but I still found he pushed my buttons in a decidedly wrong way. I found his spoof more offensive than the show.

I feel like he enjoyed depicting those things a bit too much.

Yeah. Found the thing offensive.

Find the show offensive, too, y'know.

wrong thread

Question: I'm freakin' 35. Do I still need to put my education at the top of the resume?

No.

Also, I have 2 and a half pages. What are the rules there? I have my last three jobs (dating back to 1998 to show 10+ years experience), my event planning business with budgets/charity receipts, and my writing experience.

I wouldn't go over two, if you can manage it.

Do I put that my book was featured in Entertainment Weekly?

Yeah, definitely.

My sister's just started watching Dollhouse with episode 2. She's asked a question I sure hope we get an answer to soon: Why is Langton even doing this? He's been the closest I've seen to my viewpoint character, but why he even got involved is a very good question, and right now I'm more interested in that than in Paul's quest, for instance.

Totally. It's the most interesting thing going on, IMHO.

thinking about the linked blog that said that the second Echo breaks out of her bondage, there is no more show (I disagree, I think it can still be called "Dollhouse" with Echo/Caroline on the outside trying to bring it down, or even on the inside, completely aware, trying to bring it down), I realized that Ballard's character is also similarly stuck, which got my brain waddling in weird (fanfic-y)directions: I'd rather not see Paul muddling on as a lone Mulder, but maybe the Dollhouse captures him, wipes his sure knowledge of the Dollhouse, sets him back on the street as a changed man, and his memories are stored in the databanks of personalities and Echo gets them . . . phooey, doesn't solve the Ballard issue . . .

I think that Echo can break out without violating the premise of the show--it just means that one had stated the premise wrong. The premise of Alias might have been that a woman had a second life working as an agent for what she thought was the CIA, and then her realizing it wasn't true violates that premise--or maybe that wasn't precisely the premise after all.

Yeah, I think that part of the problem with the show for me is the lack of a point of view character. I can't have Echo's POV because it doesn't have a contiguous existence yet. And until I understand a little bit more, I don't have Langton's POV because I can't envision a scenario wherein I would think it acceptable to be complicit over my objections.

I normally identify with the geek, but you know that ain't happening with Topher who is one of the most toxic people in the story. It could be Ballard, but we barely know anything about him right now other than he's obsessed, ridiculed, and is ignoring his pretty neighbor.

Who else could it be? Evil madam? Hot Asian chick with no backstory yet? Any number of the other women? No, there's no there there. I need to be able to see into the story from somewhere, and if I can't then I am just myself, finding the situation reprehensible.
