Just came across an excellent review of Dollhouse by Time.  They say a lot that I agree with about how the show was handled and its potential.  If you haven’t seen the final episode, I suggest not reading any further.  The heavy spoiler content is after the cut.

And also so we can see more of the supporting actors who have really become the reason to watch, especially Amy Acker, who showed impressive range in the last couple episodes…

If Dollhouse does not return for a second season—and I’m hoping, but let’s be realistic—what lessons can we take from it? Maybe that what makes a successful TV show is a mystery anyway, so you might as well go for it and make the best show you can creatively, rather than pre-emptively compromise it.

Dollhouse spent its first several episodes delivering what looked like a TV executive’s idea of what a broadcast audience could reasonably deal with in a sci-fi show: a procedural action drama about a good-looking woman kicking ass and rocking hot outfits. When it eventually became what it wanted to be—an ensemble story about the moral danger of trying to separate the mind from the body—it was engrossing and had a reason for being. Would the ratings have been any better if it committed to this from the get-go? Who knows, but in retrospect it probably wouldn’t have hurt.

Last night was the airing of the final episode of season one.  Let’s hope that it wasn’t the final episode of the series.  The show started out really slow but things have picked up – especially the last few episodes.  Amy was featured quite a lot last night (how awesome was she?!) and I’ve added over 300 high definition screencaptures to the gallery.  As with last week, take caution in viewing this batch as some key plot points are given away.

I was lucky enough to get hold of the Fire & Ice DVD and I’ve uploaded 1600+ high definition screencaps to the gallery.   Amy looks so cute in this movie but then again, when doesn’t she?  Be sure to check out the behind the scenes photos and promotional stills as I have added several new additions to both albums as well.

Nothing major, I’m just changing the size of the thumbnails.  The gallery will remain open during the process and it shouldn’t take more than an hour.  If the thumbnails looks fuzzy or distorted, try refreshing your browser.

I just found two great videos.  The first is a quick promo for tomorrow night’s finale of Dollhouse and the second is a short scene from the same episode.  It’s rare to see Amy in any of the official promotional footage so this is a nice treat.  You can view both after the cut.
