What you'd guys think?






Personally, I was dissapointed. I thought it would be better. Felt more like I was watching some CSI/ Law and Order crossover with a meaningless sci-fi element than a show made by Joss. I don't know. It was kind of like running into an ex-boyfriend that you still thought you had feelings for and realizing he's a loser.

I was also disappointed. It didn't have the same feel as his other shows. That said, I wasn't a fan of Firefly the first couple of times I watched it, either.

Ultimately, I'll keep watching it as long as it stays on the air, but I hope that it gets better.

I was bored by the 15 minute mark, and struggling to stay awake through the whole thing. There's not enough humor or "Jossian" wit, or even really a compelling mystery to keep my interest. I'll watch this week - and maybe the week after - but if it doesn't improve, that'll be all she wrote.

I wasn't impressed by the first ep, either. It seemed like a million other sci-fi shows that are out there.
But the second one, wow! I had forgotten how Joss can write. There are powerful hints that everything is not as it seems. I'm sure to be hooked now.

Amen, jadde. This week's ep was a VAST improvement over the pilot.

I concur.

I too liked this episode more, it really should have been the first one

Now *that* felt more like what I was expecting. I also rewatched the first ep before watching the second one, and it grew on me with the second watching.

While I thought this episode was a lot better than the pilot, I am still not feeling it. I am hoping Joss is going to start with an over-arching theme of Echo regaining her memories and working to bring down the Dollhouse from within (with added Helo goodness, of course) very soon, because watching several more episodes of what, to me, seems to be essentially Warren and his Sex-bots made into a TV show is something I am not particularly comfortable with...

Wait, what? WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS. Now I will have to watch. (I suppose I should also catch up on BSG. Ack. Two seasons behind, and I'm guessing he's gone if he's on another show.)
