Starting to hit its stride. Still underwhlmed by the younger actors. When the script is language-focused it's amazing. Catching a few moments that are clearly in meter/verse; there should be more.
No. But this episode made it clear, I think, that it's going to have to resolve. I mean, it got worse, but I think they have to come back from that, because they've taken the self-hate and evil as far as they can there.
He's so good. He makes even the lame dialogue sound heightened. Since all of season 1 is in the can, even if it gets cancelled there will be a full DVD release I think.
Oh yes, the meter/verse is so much more evident from the mouth of Ian McShane (not much of a surprise there), and is so very lovely -- I agree that there should be more of it. I also love that there are those guards who are clearly the Shakespearean comic relief. I wonder how many "average" watchers are noticing these things? I wonder what ratings it's getting with "average" watchers, come to think of it. Any idea how it's doing?
Yeah. The first five eps were both dull and squicky. But the last episode was, finally, Whedon-esque. I think it just might be pretty great from now on.
But neither show really thrills me. During this Hiatus of Doom, the only show that's keeping me sane is Supernatural.
I keep forgetting to watch. Though really, the only things that really catch my interest, having not yet watched an ep, are (1) Ian McShane, and (2) a bit of it was filmed a block from my apartment.

Except for evil!gay!Jackathan. Was the evil truly necessary? WHERE IS MY "PASSING THE LOVE OF WOMAN"? Where???? Has that improved at all?

I feel so very guilty that I am enjoying 'Kings' more than 'Dollhouse'.no subject
I watched one episode of Dollhouse and wanted to throw things at the TV the whole time. I was not impressed.
