connielane at 08:49am on 07/05/2009 under dollhouse(Or perhaps just sick of seeing me post about it? :P) If you're not, I want to encourage as many of you as I can reach to watch the season finale tomorrow night at 9pm (8 central).
This is your last chance to see a new episode until and unless it's given a second season (which it REALLY deserves). Tomorrow night is the finale, and it might seem a bit like reading the last chapter of a book first (though of course it won't be the last chapter if there's a second season, y/y?). If you're interested in checking it out tomorrow night, but want a little background first, the most recent five episodes are on Hulu - if you only have time for a couple, I'd suggest 1.09 ("Spy in the House of Love") and 1.11 ("Briar Rose"). Actually, it would be best to start with 1.06 ("Man on the Street"), but sadly that has rolled off the list of available episodes on Hulu. If you can only give it one background episode before tomorrow, watch "Spy in the House of Love" and then watch the 3-minute recap of "Briar Rose" embedded below.
Below are two recap videos. The first is a pretty comprehensive recap of the entire season. It covers the concept and most of the major characters and plotlines. The second is a recap of the most recent episode, "Briar Rose," which is majorly spoily (the recap, I mean) so don't watch it if you're planning to see that episode before watching the finale tomorrow.
This is a smartly written, engaging, and thought-provoking show with a plethora of gray area and moral ambiguity (for those of you who like that sort of thing in your fiction :P). It's quite dark and can't really help being so, but manages to be funny as well. If you want to know how this compares with other Whedonian shows, I'd say the major difference is that it doesn't have, at least right now, the sort of "surrogate family unit" that his other shows have had. But the concept as it stands right now doesn't really lend itself to that.
Please check it out if you can. It's in a crap time slot, but that could change if it gets a Season 2. Right now, it needs and merits as much help as it can get in this last week.
