Argh...we've been watching Dollhouse, which has taken this long (2 years!) to arrive on New Zealand television (but at 9.30pm when I'd normally be gearing down for the night).
I found it quite dark and sometimes a real downer because I hated the concept of men and women essentially being pimped out to rich people to fulfill their fantasies. It was also kinda confusing - characters seemed to disappear with no explanation and others changed from being bad guys to not-so-bad guys and back again suddenly.
If it weren't for the fact that I was browsing a Joss Whedon magazine (a run-down of every episode of every tv series he's ever done!), I would not have realised that the tv network has been showing us the episodes in a completely mixed up order. Like, Epitaph Two coming right after Epitaph One - when they are each the final episodes to 2 entirely separate seasons. That might explain all the sudden disappearances and character changes!
Now I'm gonna have to order the DVDs from overseas so I can watch them in the proper order.

I loved Dollhouse but found it kind of trashy? I think that it sort of doesn't matter if the Epitaph's come together at the end even if they'e not meant to - I think that's how we watched them. I liked how the baddies weren't necessarily the baddies and the other way around - although some of the explanations for things were a bit 'meh'.
