Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM
Don't get me wrong. I love a lot of his work. Firefly is my favorite show ever, bar none. And Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is equally fantastic. But the man couldn't write a damned linear story if he had a gun to his head.

How many episodes this season dealt with Alpha? How many were filler? Even with Firefly, there was precious little connecting the episodes. But Dollhouse was absolutely ridiculous in its inability to string along a story arc.

So. Joss Whedon. You are not writing for Naruto now. LEARN.

Shitty but unsurprising Brian - 11/11/2009 11:30:18 PM 476 Views
One really has to wonder... Legolas - 12/11/2009 12:08:00 AM 552 Views
Especially when they made promises to him and he thought he was more prepared for FOX. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 12:23:26 AM 250 Views
I am actually surprised that it got a second season... MightyYT - 12/11/2009 01:52:03 AM 504 Views
I think Fox did try harder this time. Werthead - 12/11/2009 02:03:48 AM 559 Views
I'd love it if he returned to Buffy and put Season 8 on the silver screen. *NM* Bookwyrm - 12/11/2009 04:46:13 AM 248 Views
Meh. I've only read the beginning of season eight, I'll admit... Legolas - 12/11/2009 11:44:50 AM 436 Views
Re: Good dialogue and weeping heroines can only get you so far. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 09:55:41 AM 257 Views
Seinfeld was on for YEARS, and it is quite literally a show about nothing. nossy - 12/11/2009 02:36:08 PM 498 Views
Re: Very few weeping heroines on that one. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 02:50:06 PM 214 Views

Have you seen the reunion on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM? Werthead - 13/11/2009 02:21:53 AM 462 Views
What's wrong with weeping heroines? Legolas - 12/11/2009 04:46:53 PM 448 Views
That's simple... Wibble - 12/11/2009 07:37:02 PM 566 Views
Then how do you explain the initial axing of Buffy? Legolas - 12/11/2009 10:01:22 PM 496 Views
Well tbh it's ratings sucked Wibble - 13/11/2009 12:12:38 AM 546 Views
Fox would probably have been happy with another FIREFLY, actually. Werthead - 13/11/2009 02:25:40 AM 526 Views
Coming here must distort things as well snoopcester - 13/11/2009 01:32:06 PM 427 Views
technically Dollhouse being on Fox is Eliza's fault Jim - 12/11/2009 09:01:55 PM 472 Views
Summer Glau didn't even get a chance to be on it before it died. Her tally rises. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 12:21:52 AM 515 Views
They're still airing the whole season, incidentally. *NM* Craig - 12/11/2009 12:59:53 AM 199 Views
She also was on The Unit. Jacob - 12/11/2009 03:42:28 PM 448 Views
She was on my Unit once, too. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 12/11/2009 03:48:24 PM 243 Views
And then you woke up. *NM* Jacob - 12/11/2009 07:40:25 PM 222 Views
Yeah, but it's a pretty crappy show. *NM* Rebekah - 12/11/2009 01:04:58 AM 245 Views
Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. Ghavrel - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM 444 Views
To be fair, his Alpha got a more regular gig opportunity. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 02:26:03 AM 257 Views
Re: YES! *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 09:54:53 AM 301 Views
Not surprising at all. TaskmasterJack - 12/11/2009 02:38:16 AM 494 Views
I hate when they do that. Sophy - 12/11/2009 06:29:38 AM 424 Views
Wednesdays always used to be packed. Now it's Thursdays and Fridays. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 09:19:31 PM 273 Views
Yeah, saw that. nossy - 12/11/2009 05:21:27 AM 446 Views
Definitely not. Jacob - 12/11/2009 03:44:02 PM 417 Views
Oh no!!! Sophy - 12/11/2009 06:22:16 AM 430 Views
This was pretty much expected Monkey - 12/11/2009 07:39:01 AM 474 Views
Beqi - 12/11/2009 09:05:35 PM 435 Views
I'd say it's probably well deserved. Chas - 12/11/2009 11:38:33 PM 466 Views
