Don't get me wrong. I love a lot of his work. Firefly is my favorite show ever, bar none. And Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is equally fantastic. But the man couldn't write a damned linear story if he had a gun to his head.

How many episodes this season dealt with Alpha? How many were filler? Even with Firefly, there was precious little connecting the episodes. But Dollhouse was absolutely ridiculous in its inability to string along a story arc.

So. Joss Whedon. You are not writing for Naruto now. LEARN.

Dollhouse axed Werthead - 11/11/2009 11:19:05 PM 1150 Views
Shitty but unsurprising Brian - 11/11/2009 11:30:18 PM 538 Views
One really has to wonder... Legolas - 12/11/2009 12:08:00 AM 625 Views
Especially when they made promises to him and he thought he was more prepared for FOX. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 12:23:26 AM 278 Views
I am actually surprised that it got a second season... MightyYT - 12/11/2009 01:52:03 AM 590 Views
I think Fox did try harder this time. Werthead - 12/11/2009 02:03:48 AM 630 Views
I'd love it if he returned to Buffy and put Season 8 on the silver screen. *NM* Bookwyrm - 12/11/2009 04:46:13 AM 279 Views
Meh. I've only read the beginning of season eight, I'll admit... Legolas - 12/11/2009 11:44:50 AM 502 Views
Re: Good dialogue and weeping heroines can only get you so far. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 09:55:41 AM 284 Views
Seinfeld was on for YEARS, and it is quite literally a show about nothing. nossy - 12/11/2009 02:36:08 PM 562 Views
Re: Very few weeping heroines on that one. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 02:50:06 PM 240 Views

Have you seen the reunion on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM? Werthead - 13/11/2009 02:21:53 AM 533 Views
What's wrong with weeping heroines? Legolas - 12/11/2009 04:46:53 PM 511 Views
That's simple... Wibble - 12/11/2009 07:37:02 PM 636 Views
Then how do you explain the initial axing of Buffy? Legolas - 12/11/2009 10:01:22 PM 559 Views
Well tbh it's ratings sucked Wibble - 13/11/2009 12:12:38 AM 612 Views
Fox would probably have been happy with another FIREFLY, actually. Werthead - 13/11/2009 02:25:40 AM 597 Views
Coming here must distort things as well snoopcester - 13/11/2009 01:32:06 PM 496 Views
technically Dollhouse being on Fox is Eliza's fault Jim - 12/11/2009 09:01:55 PM 538 Views
Summer Glau didn't even get a chance to be on it before it died. Her tally rises. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 12:21:52 AM 582 Views
They're still airing the whole season, incidentally. *NM* Craig - 12/11/2009 12:59:53 AM 228 Views
She also was on The Unit. Jacob - 12/11/2009 03:42:28 PM 520 Views
She was on my Unit once, too. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 12/11/2009 03:48:24 PM 271 Views
And then you woke up. *NM* Jacob - 12/11/2009 07:40:25 PM 251 Views
Yeah, but it's a pretty crappy show. *NM* Rebekah - 12/11/2009 01:04:58 AM 274 Views
Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. Ghavrel - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM 514 Views
To be fair, his Alpha got a more regular gig opportunity. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 02:26:03 AM 289 Views
Re: YES! *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 09:54:53 AM 329 Views
Not surprising at all. TaskmasterJack - 12/11/2009 02:38:16 AM 560 Views
I hate when they do that. Sophy - 12/11/2009 06:29:38 AM 502 Views
Wednesdays always used to be packed. Now it's Thursdays and Fridays. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 09:19:31 PM 302 Views
Yeah, saw that. nossy - 12/11/2009 05:21:27 AM 520 Views
Definitely not. Jacob - 12/11/2009 03:44:02 PM 477 Views
Oh no!!! Sophy - 12/11/2009 06:22:16 AM 495 Views
This was pretty much expected Monkey - 12/11/2009 07:39:01 AM 541 Views
Beqi - 12/11/2009 09:05:35 PM 505 Views
I'd say it's probably well deserved. Chas - 12/11/2009 11:38:33 PM 542 Views
