Closing the Doors of the "Dollhouse"

One of my favorite shows of the last 2 years has come to an end tonight. I find that sad because I've grown to really like these people, even if they don't exist. It's a little late to give you a cast of characters with a brief life story so I won't. Maybe if I'd done that sooner, Dollhouse wouldn't have ended its short-lived run tonight; however, I've discovered that I don't like the same mainstream shows that everyone else seems to be crazy about. What makes that unfortunate is that my favorite shows tend to get canceled while everyone else's shows continue to plod along, business as usual. Kudos, though, to the studio execs for giving a head's up so Joss Whedon could wrap up the series for the fans and give us closure. That's more than we got when TPTB pulled the plug on my all-time favorite TV series, Firefly.

I'll be looking for these actors in new shows in the coming year and hope they land somewhere wonderful - maybe a new Joss Whedon creation. I'm a fan, not just of the characters, but of the actor's skill that made me love them all; Adele, Boyd, Echo, Paul, Topher, Victor, and Sierra. The love extends to recurring characters as well; November, Alpha, Bennett, Whiskey/Dr.Saunders and all the others that passed through the doors of the Dollhouse. I'm so sorry to see you go and look forward to seeing you again - soon.
