I'm still watching Dollhouse (which unlike a new movie doesn't require an expensive theatre ticket or 3-D glasses), for the same reason I watched the last season of Buffy*, but I find I hardly have a damn thing to say about it. Last week's episode seemed to consist in varying proportions of:

1. The Matrix;
2. The ending of Brazil;
3. The destruction of the Initiative from Buffy;
4. The joke about Shawn Fanning stealing the idea for Napster.
