Dollhouse Series Finale

[mf_luder_xf]

Oh, wow. Crying. Lots of crying. Sad tears and happy tears. That was the perfect ending for it all. Perfect. I don't have words...just...wonderful. Everything a finale should be.

That? That's what sci-fi does to me. The X-Files, Battlestar Galactica, Serenity...I simply don't cry over (most) other, less genre shows. It just brings you into this strange new world, so similar to ours and yet different enough that it brings the crazy, the heroic, the utterly tragic out to play and not only makes you care about the world and the characters, but about humanity as well. And that's something we don't usually think about on a day-to-day basis. I find BSG and now Dollhouse really manage this. They force you to contemplate the human condition and what it means to be human. I wouldn't want it any other way.

I get I'm in the minority and sure, there were a few boring/blah episodes here and there, but in general, I truly loved this show and didn't think it got off to a "rough start" as so many other critics suggest. It makes me wish I liked Buffy since I like Joss so much. But I suppose, Buffy will be my Sports Night for Joss. So many love the show, but I don't find either the bext example of their writer's genius.

Dollhouse, I will miss you.

In conclusion:

Topher.

I think once it hit its stride, it really hit it. The first couple of episodes weren't amazing, but they were interesting and it built from there. It was just sad that the moment the axe fell, they began churning out these amazing episodes to which there could have been so much more.

For once, I'd really just like to be able to explore the full plan Joss has for his characters and stories. I have to agree with you about Buffy; it wasn't great. I enjoyed it, but some of it was just bad.

I don't get why everyone was so down on the first few eps. You've got to start building the universe somewhere and I did find them intriguing from a character/world building standpoint.

And, yeah. Totally agree.
