I deleted my last response because I'm afraid it gives the wrong impression.
I do like Dollhouse and am relieved and happy it go renewed. But I do not "love" it the way I still love Buffy. It is not a show I feel a desperate need to think about or write about. I think what we fall in love with in fictional dramas and are comedies is incredibly personal and hard to explain to others.
I have not to date found another tv show or book or film or cultural item that I can love or obsess about or care about the way I do Buffy, I don't know why. It's not like I haven't tried - as you know. I've tried so many books, so many tv shows, so many films...and while I enjoy many of them, In Plain Sight is my favorite at the moment - I don't feel quite the same way. That may change.
Dollhouse does intrigue me. I find my head playing with it. And it hits many issues that I've considered writing about myself and gives me all sorts of ideas.
But..you won't see me writing essays about Dollhouse the way I have about Buffy. I don't love the characters in the same way. That of course could change - if the series lasts more than two seasons. It did get better and the last five episodes, with exception of the horse one, were quite good.
