I'll probably talk about Dollhouse tomorrow

All I will say is that about five minutes into the show, the cat got up and left the room. Later he came back and curled in his "I am feeling sorry for myself" chair.

Wait, I will say one thing: if nobody even knows the Dollhouse exists, how does Mr. I'm so dedicated I screw up everyone else's cases FBI agent know that the memory implants require the original memories to be wiped?

True fact: The Dollhouse is one of the local strip clubs.

Because someone is feeding him information.

Why don't his bosses jump right on that? Well, they probably stopped paying attention to him a while ago.

I got the impression that he's being fed information, but it's not in the form of proof that can easily be shown to his bosses. Also, it's hard to convince people who refuse to believe in something, that it truly exists without overwhelming proof.

LOL.

There were a lot of 'huh?' questions which I think are going to add up to a trail of clues. To something. At least, I hope so.

It was better than the Dark Angel pilot, which was so bad the person who was napping on my couch grabbed the remote and changed the channel without ever waking up!

Yup, that's pretty bad!

I remember once mentioning a series so bad I said I'd only been able to watch the first forty minutes of it. A friend who had been with me at the time corrected me. "You only lasted five minutes. It just felt like forty."

The Dollhouse is any one of numerous strip clubs.

There is a Doll house strip joint/topless/nudie bar in every major city in America. I think I visited most of them when I was working on the road. But just for the free happy hour buffet, you understand.

Amusing note: I didn't realize Mr. I'm So Dedicated I Screw Up Everyone Else's Cases FBI Agent was also Helo until I looked it up (I haven't watched Battlestar for a while), and then, for the first time, noticed who his father is. I've gotten into...discussions...with Tony Penikett over the past two years or so during meetings we've both been involved in.

That's where I know him from! I guess he just has a taste for Artificial Girls.

As the joke goes, scientists have a name for this condition: "Normal."

True fact: I am attending a party at the Dollhouse (not a strip club) in an hour or so.

Truer fact: The Dollhouse is no longer open, and in fact the building was very recently torn down (as in, I know it was there last month, though closed, and I know it's not there today, because I just drove past it).
