I see^^.
Is the dollhouse actually worth watching by the way? I remember opinions being very divided when it ran.

The first handful of episodes are hit or miss (since they're episodic and play up the "doll" aspect more, which is what Fox wanted), but then it gets into the old Whedon groove of seeding a larger storyline in there and it becomes well worth your time. Plus, even if the occasional episode's story is weaker than others, the characters themselves more than make up for it.

Got it. Thanks.

(Just now I think maybe I need a treatment.)

^Thanks. I've never actually watched any of Whedon's work. Still, if I get some time, maybe I'll take a look. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Well, I haven't seen all of Dollhouse (I dropped cable when I switched providers) but I've seen every episode of Buffy and Angel. There are some things Whedon does that I really don't like, but both shows are still very near the top of my list for the best television I've seen. The characters and the dialog are two of the exceptionally strong parts of both shows. So, in my opinion, it's not all good, but on the whole it's very good.
