calimacDid anyone else watch the final episode of Dollhouse last night, or were B. and I the last people left in the room after everyone else gave up and left?
This dismal cross between the "demons have taken over" alternate histories of the Buffyverse and John Varley's "Phantom of Kansas" period got a lot of "huh? I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what" from me, until after the show ended and I looked up Felicia Day and some of the other actors on IMDB to see if they'd been on the series before. And sure enough, I was missing something: what I was missing was the phantom unaired episode from the end of the first season, to which this one was an immediate sequel - the episode that appeared only in the DVD set of the first season, which I never got because I lacked any desire to watch this series again.
I rewatch Firefly, like, all the time. I rewatch parts of BTVS too. I've even been known to rewatch Dr. Horrible, though man, it's not holding up as well as I'd hoped. I don't rewatch Angel, though I have some of that, nor Serenity, nor this. The historical sorting process between mash and trash in Joss Whedon shows is going on very quickly as far as I'm concerned.
