I love some of the stuff that Joss has written, he's extremely talented and capable of writing great stuff, deep dialoge, humor, controversial issues, etc. But this show sucks. Not even close to the quality and depth of FIREFLY and not even up to the standards of DR HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG and that was a budget production. I expected so much more.
I agree, Firefly was the greatest. I keep watching Dollhouse hoping it will get better but I'm only giving it a couple more episodes before I give up on it.
