Dollhouse goes out with a whimper

[fangirl_says]

In what could be the final nail in the Dollhouse coffin, the show's season finale last night received its lowest ratings of the year. Only 2.8 million people tuned in, which is roughly the same number of viewers that Supernatural got this week (its second-lowest ratings of the year, I might add).

The difference being, of course, that Supernatural is on The CW, where 2.8 million viewers is nothing to sneeze at, and Dollhouse is on Fox, where execs are no doubt sneezing their heads off at this very moment.

Honestly, Dollhouse deserves to be cancelled. Even coming from a background of loving a lot of Joss's previous work, I really didn't like this show. My only regret at this point is that Alan Tudyk was awesome in the last two episodes, and I'd love to see more of him as Alpha. But as someone on Twitter said, Dollhouse may be Joss's Ishtar. It had promise, it had buzz. It even had the automatic adoration of the Joss faithful, and it still...well, sucked.

I tried watching Dollhouse again last night after not watching it for a few weeks. I still couldn't pay attention all the way through. Except during the part where she was crawling on the beam to get the thingamajig before it fell. I thought, "she's going to reach out then for no reason start to slip & the thingamajig is going to fall." And guess what happened...

Also? Firefox actually acknowledges that thingamajig is a real word spelled correctly. But Dollhouse is not.
