I was an occasional grumbler because there were a few epsiodes I didn't care for. But even those had something in them that I loved. There was always something. So even when I felt TSCC let me down a little, it rally never did. I loved everything about it.
Chuck lost me about midway through this season and I missed a handful of episodes thinking I was done with it. But I got back into in near the end. I wouldn't have been sad if it didn't get renewed, but I'll watch it again next season. I enjoyed it. Dollhouse bored me from the first episode. After 10 minutes of episode two, I gave up. I heard it got better, but at this point, I'm not inclined to backtrack and watch it.
I was telling Lena Geek further up that I am going to finish season 2 of the Comicals. After that I'll just have to see what I'm in the mood to do.
Your Telnovella was certainly a great additional to the fandom. You always could make me laugh :D
Start watching Dollhouse with episode six. That's where the story actually starts. I actually liked the ending. It wasn't mind blowingly awesome but it did a good job of wrapping one story up (in a way the Terminator finale really didn't) while still leaving some questions open.
I don't think I can bring myself to care about Dollhouse. Even though I heard it got better, I never heard it was great. My husband said it definitely improved but he felt the story had nowhere to go after the finale. He's not exactly mr imagination, but if he wasn't wowed by the show, I can't see me liking it. And if I'm being honest, I think I'd be too bitter to sit and watch anything on Fox on Friday nights now anyway.
Fair enough. I would note though, that I wasn't particularly wowed by Terminator until the second season. I feel like Dollhouse's ending is similar in that they've just hit their stride, and while I don't know exactly where they're planning to go next I think the "real" story is about to begin. (I would strongly disagree with your husband regarding the story having nowhere to go. There was a major plot thread that was introduced but never really explored.
I realize we disagree on Terminator Season 1, but the general principle might apply anyway.
Again, episode 6 is a good introduction to the actual plot and also gives you a good feel for what the rest of the show will be like. After you've had a month or so to mourn and get past the bitterness, I'd give it a go. What else are you going to do for the summer? :)
