It's much better than the other self-contained eps from earlier in the season, in my opinion.<br /><br />Ep 11, Briar Rose, is freakin' awesome, I'd say.<br /><br />Ep 12, Omega, is the season finale. It was a bit of a disappointment---not as riveting or surprising as as Ep 11, but still better than most shows on TV. It explores more ramifications of Dollhouse tech. There's a very interesting conversation between Echo and...some other people...that makes the episode.<br /><br />Surely Fox must have noticed that every single critical article about Dollhouse said that the quality of the show dramatically improved after the Fox-mandated stand-alone episodes. I'm hoping that the creative change will be to let Joss be Joss. Plus, more Tim Minear would be nice.<br /><br />In other Dollhouse news, Fox has said they WILL show Ep 13, Epitaph One, though it's not clear when it will air. Ep 13 is essentially self-contained, as far as I know, so it doesn't compromise the finale-ish nature of Ep 12. Joss shot this ep at the request of Fox (the studio) so they'd have another ep for the DVD and for international release. Epitaph One cost half as much as the other eps; I'm guessing, but don't actually know, that it takes place entirely in the Dollhouse set and doesn't feature much fight choreography or FX. I've tried to avoid spoilers for this episode, and I wouldn't post them here if I knew any, but I will say that Felicia Day* guest-stars. Neat!<br /><br />* Vi in S7 of Buffy, Penny in Dr Horrible, and the creator of The Guild, in which she plays Codex.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251721824712434255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18810878.post-6038452967288685602009-05-18T13:08:00.000-04:002009-05-18T13:08:00.000-04:00Huzzah!

I still...Huzzah! My decision to watch is affirmed!<br /><br />I still haven't seen the last three eps of S1 (I'll pick up at least one on Wednesday), but if they pan out the way I think they will, the DVDs will be preordered shortly.<br /><br />I certainly hope that Fox's "creative" "assistance" doesn't scuttle everything good about the series.Nicholas Condonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425895105081617926noreply@blogger.com
