Also, I find the shower scene rather low on the exploitation scale compared to some other elements that have been in the show since the first episode.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

That's probably because, as every network executive knows, male nudity and sexuality couldn't possibly be considered hot, so it's just played for laughs. rolls eyes forever...

Isn't televised slash much more entertaining when it's not intentional?

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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Fay, Sci-Fi have picked up the UK rights.
They're going to be airing it without widescreen (so some of the screen cut out) and I suspect with cuts (each episode is 50 minutes, which leads little room for commercials).
My favourite quote from the press release:
"The special effects in [this] series are genuinely show-stopping and likely to be the subject of many water-cooler moments for fans."

That's good to know, but I'm in Thailand, mate.

Dollhouse? What special effects are they talking about?

I don't know. The only noticeable effect I can think of was the bullet time at the end of The Target. (The 'hello Joss? It's The Matrix on the phone from a decade ago, could we have our special effects back please?' one). I am guessing the NBC Universal exec quoted hasn't actually seen the show he's bought.
