You know what?

I'm sick of hearing that Dollhouse gets good at X point. First season it was the 3rd episode.
No wait, it's actually the 6th episode.
No, sorry about that it's actually episode 11.
No ep 12.
Woops, I meant ep 13, which you'll have to watch on DVD.

To be fair the last few eps of the first season were much much more interesting than the preceeding episodes, but that's not a very high base from which to launch from.
This season has definitely been a return to the quality of the earlier episodes. The only reason I'm still watching is because it's Joss. Anything else and I'd have given up on it long ago.
There's inherent flaws in the premise and the lead actress isn't up to carrying a series of her own. The supporting cast try their hardest, but the material just isn't there for them.

I'm sick of hearing the Dollhouse is going to "get good". No. It's not. It's not been good, it's not good and it's never going to be good. It's time to take it out the back paddock and put a bullet in it.
 

• 19:32 @nualamary Yeah he was pretty good. And the show is good. Just not as good as I want it to be... #
• 19:53 @Alicat79 It was the best of an average lot by a long way. Felicia was great though... #
• 20:02 Making a start on Atlantis Ssn 5 now... Probably should've rewatched the ssn 4 finale first though!! #
• 20:15 @purplewolf Yeah, but Atlantis isn't terribly hard to follow ;) Went searching for Teyla, building collapses on them... Recap covered it all #
• 20:45 @nualamary Yeah... The whole premise of the show negates alot of options for character development. #
• 20:53 tinyurl.com/l4w2d3 US Version of Skins... I'm very wary of this. #
• 21:15 @Alicat79 Yeah Chuck is better, True Blood... About the same level imho. #
• 21:25 @Alicat79 Dollhouse. #
• 23:19 Hmmmm, China or the US... Thinking of going away sometime next year if money allows. Mostly I just like planning and thinking of travelling. #
• 23:23 @KatyH100 I love China. I lived there for a year teaching. What do you have against China? #
• 23:24 @michaelmuhney I'm doing a vegan cooking course... Despite not being vegan... or even a vego! Not emmy exciting, but I'm happy about it!! #
• 23:35 @KatyH100 Yeah their human rights record sucks, but as you say so does the US's. Australia's is shocking as well. But the way I see it... #
• 23:36 @KatyH100 is that travelling to countries like China forces them to open up and address these issues. At least that's the theory... #
• 23:41 @ZuckerBaby Yeah... but when aren't you a stressball?? :P #
• 23:58 The effects in season 5 of Atlantis seem to be much better than they have in previous seasons... #
• 00:37 @KatyH100 Atlantis does look awesome on a big screen TV. Better than BSG... Though that could be deliberate. #
• 00:38 Clearly 1230 at night is the time to scour the bookcase looking for a specific book. Didn't find it, but did find 12 books I want to re/read #
• 00:48 I have a drooling cat sprawled across my lap, stomach, arm & chest... It's difficult to use my laptop, but he won't move!! #
• 00:56 RT @nbcstore: BSG fans: Giving away an excl Comic-Con toaster. RT before 8pm est today & u r entered! @Syfy #
• 10:57 @nualamary I've been to China before, lived there for a year. Just trying to decide whether I want to go there or to the US. If I can travel #
• 11:08 @buffiness I shall try and remember. What time do you want me to arrive there? #
• 13:12 Childrens Panadol... Cause drugging children is the best way. #
• 13:36 @iheartmuseums Our neighbour smokes in her backyard which is right outside our front door, she seems to time it for when our door is open. #
• 14:02 @Leishkin You are aware that @buffiness will kill you if you keep rubbing it in?? ;) #
• 17:09 I forgot the Nicole DeBoer was in this season of Atlantis... #

• 19:54 @Bronzethumb *yawns* #
• 21:39 Standing on the corner out the front of @mimbles house waiting for @buffiness to pick me up... It's cold. #
• 22:48 Noticing a few actor crossovers between Dexter Ssn3 & Dollhouse... #
• 22:57 @ZuckerBaby Ivy in Dollhouse was Yuki in Dexter. And one of the handlers in this ep was Miguel Prados wife... #
• 23:11 @ZuckerBaby Probably helps that I only watched Dexter yesterday and today and then Dollhouse this evening... #
• 01:01 Jebus... Is there anything Mark Sheppard isn't in?? #
• 13:33 At Town Hall waiting for Nixy... She's late... Should've known! Still at least I've got a taro milk tea to tide me over! #
• 17:51 There's a naked woman in the shower in a horror episode... Yeah this will end well. Watching Epitaph One #Dollhouse #
• 18:39 OK I've finished Dollhouse now. It got better, but didn't even reach the status of quite good. Can people stop harrassing me about it now?!? #
• 18:50 @happymealonlegs @purplewolf Yeah well I've watched it all and still remained unimpressed so it's a fully informed decision... So bite me :P #
• 19:11 @buffiness Well that must be thrilling... #

• 21:53 Judoon platoon upon the moon... Why yes I am watching the Doctor Who repeats on ABC2. #
• 21:54 @anderbre_1000 I remember that game... tres awesomes! #
• 01:17 The video clip to some crappy teeny-bopper song that's currently on the tv has the worst lip-syncing and dubbing I've seen... #
• 11:56 Ummm... WTF?! bit.ly/46hO9S "Can Atheists be Parents?" (via @Serenity03) #
• 12:03 The reporter on the news just called it an "Intra-ven-ee-ous- drip"... Me thinks he put an extra syllable & vowel in there for some reason. #
• 12:46 @Leishkin If they have it doesn't appear that mine have... #
• 15:57 Wonders why the state govt needs the RTA in a panel to investigate light rail, but not the light rail operator?? #
• 17:55 Really loving Dexter Ssn 3... #
• 17:58 @ZuckerBaby Looking forward to it :) #
• 19:25 Finished season 3 of Dexter. Now onto Dollhouse, mostly so people will just shut up about telling me to watch it... #

• 20:49 @ZuckerBaby What's up?? #
• 21:30 @ZuckerBaby It's pretty much always a @feliciaday kind of day :) #
• 21:52 @ZuckerBaby @dimsimkitty We're currently watching ssn2 of The Guild... #
• 21:56 @ZuckerBaby @vnursejacq @dimsimkitty @mimbles Is there anyone who hasn't indulged in some @feliciaday awesomeness recently?!?! #
• 23:36 @mimbles Is the book exchange in Pennant Hills near the station any good do you know?? #
• 10:38 tinyurl.com/m9nbb7 7 crimes that will get you a smaller fine than file sharing (US based. Via @caseywright) #
• 10:42 RT @shonias Dr Horrible cakes are Sunday Sweets! bit.ly/xZWac #
• 11:12 @michaelmuhney I have always wondered what butterfly tastes like... Make sure to let me know ;) #
• 13:19 There seems to be more naked people in Dexter season 3 than I recall from previous seasons... #
• 17:47 Just put a piece of pork and some veggies in the oven. Baked dinner tonight :D #

• 23:20 Back from dinner at The Prophet. Good food... reasonable company ;) made for a pretty good evening all around. #
• 15:18 @mimbles Ah so the archery stuff would be the big white thing you had on top of your car when we saw you earlier today ;) #
• 15:58 @mimbles We're going to Chinese for dinner. Want to join us? #
• 16:01 @mimbles No worries. #
• 18:29 The alien in Torchwood Children of the Earth reminds me somewhat of N'Grath from Babylon 5. #

• 21:40 Had an awesome steak dinner at a place called Kingsleys in the city, so frakking good... #
• 11:37 Am wondering if my sore back is an indication that I'm getting older? ;) #
• 18:50 Just gotta say that @AvenueQOZ was way up there with the Broadway version of it. A great birthday afternoon was had today... #
• 18:55 @mimbles I did get your SMS, didn't see it till after the show... *slaps* #

• 21:03 @mimbles Late walk tonight? #
• 08:45 @KatyH100 Heee! Awesomes... I love the little Zoidberg one :D #
• 08:45 Caught a lift into the city with @buffiness in preparation for job interview in just over an hour... #
• 08:49 @ZuckerBaby I have no problems with Vegans (usually :P )... Peta however is a whole other story... #
• 08:58 @KatyH100 Well, what's not too like?!?! #
• 12:29 Mmmmm Taro milk tea with pearls... #
• 12:29 Interview with temp agency went well... Nice folks, good vibe. Hopefully they can give me plenty of work :) #
• 13:00 Picked up a copy of Dexter Ssn 3 and Mad Men Ssn 2 from JB on my way back to Di's office after my interview... #
• 13:40 tinyurl.com/qw8de6 Unusual & Marvellous Maps. #
• 16:33 @dimsimkitty It does have the fake blood, however my opinion of it differs from yours. Where you say annoying I say awesome ;) #
• 16:43 @Bronzethumb He's not starring in it, so it's not enough to get me interested. Not like Michelle Forbes in True Blood... or well, anything! #
• 16:49 @Bronzethumb Oh no doubt he's a good director... given the right material, which I doubt Dollhouse will provide. #
• 16:54 @Bronzethumb I've seen up to episode 7, which is one episode after ep 6 which everyone said was the best thing ever and well... wasn't. #
• 17:00 @Bronzethumb I was let down by Joss on Dollhouse and felt that it shouldn't have survived where TSCC got axed... I'm very bitter about that! #
• 17:09 @dimsimkitty meh, I'll bitch about that if and when it happens ;) #
• 17:09 @Bronzethumb We've ordered the Dollhouse Ssn1 DVDs from Amazon, so I'll eventually watch it, but it ain't high on the list it must be said. #
• 17:12 @MirraJensen Compared to previous Joss stuff and other shows at the moment it's decidedly "meh" worthy... #
• 17:15 @Bronzethumb I don't think I've been spoiled, but I've not been trying not to be... #
• 17:15 @ozfinn Although I do know who Alan Tudyk plays... #
• 17:21 @Bronzethumb Well I speak to myself all the time, now apparently I tweet to myself... It's a natural progression :) #
