shapinglightFirst of all, apologies to the people who left comments on my post about concrit which I still haven't responded to. I had every intention of getting back to you yesterday but RL intervened and I didn't get the chance. So sorry. I will answer at some point, but not today either, as knackered. Didn't get much in the way of writing done today, as I'd hoped. Have still to start serious revision of the Darla fic and have nothing as yet for the next calendar post. Did watch ep 5 of Dollhouse season 1, though. Spoilers behind cut.
Okay, I admit I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first three episodes of Dollhouse given what I'd heard about them. However, must admit that eps 4&5 have mostly left me cold. Ep 4 was better than ep 5, and may improve on re-watching, but ep 5 strikes me as the season's Teacher's Pet. There were a few things that made it worth watching, ie. the interaction between Bosslady (can never remember anyone's names) and Mr Nasty Security Guard, and between Nerdy Warrenalike and Amy Acker over Victor's 'male reaction', but the MotW week element left me cold. Sadly (as many others have said), I think this is down to Eliza. Part of the reason why I enjoyed the much derided ep 3 was because Eliza was basically playing Faith. In this ep, she was playing Faith's opposite and the episode didn't really come alive for me until she started thumping people.
Oh dear! Guess I'm going to have to admit it. I just get off on Eliza beating up men.
The much lauded ep 6 is up next. Was going to watch that today too, but I think I've run out of time.
How are all of you?

There's a lot of S3 I haven't watched very much at all, but then I don't really care about it, so *shrugs*.
