FFS #73: On Dollhouse:

Valtiel on May 11, 2009

Just a quick, simple comic to give you the lulz, and give me the opportunity to rap a little while about Joss Whedon's newest show, Dollhouse, which just finished its first season this past Friday.

For anyone that didn't watch this show, I highly recommend you get your hands on the first season and watch it all the way through, as it is phenomenally entertaining, and easily one of the best shows that Whedon has produced in his run.

For those of you that stopped watching after the first couple episodes, I highly urge you to return to it, and finish the season. It has been said many of times by those involved, including the writers of the show, that the first episodes were made to appease Fox. It becomes Joss Whedon's show more after the fifth episode, and suddenly the overall plot begins to come through, and the charm and wit and general bad assery you expect also starts to shine through.

I have to say, the season finale was fucking fantastic. Easily one of my favorite finales in recent memory, and if it does turn out to be the series finale, I'm glad they closed some storylines up, but I will be terribly disappointed that this show, like Firefly, has to go away before Joss can tell us what he had brewing in his head. Both of these shows had long term plans, but neither was realized. As far as I can tell, even Serenity did not wrap up all Joss had to say with Firefly.

In short, fuck you, Fox.

Secondly, I'm back in school, so I can't promise regular updates, but I'm going to try what I can. I can almost guarantee next week's comic will be about Dollhouse as well, as the fate of the show is being announced late this week/early next week.

Also, started up work on putting together a book…AGAIN. This one is coming along really well, and I'm going to be including fan/reader commentary on some strips, if anyone has anything to say about anything. More details to come.
