Boredom and more Dollhouse

vervet_monkeyWith some quite considerable restraint I managed not to watch the 2nd ep of Dollhouse till this morning. That plus my intense boredom and lack of anymore attention span for reproductive revision means...
Why was this show not aired first? I may have a small recollection in the back of my head as to someone saying Fox had done a Firefly thing again in airing the shows in the wrong order? But that was such a good ep, alot better than Ghost.
All the characters were introduced, Echo is very much more likeable, as is Boyd. There is even a little Joss dialogue leaking through in the character of Tropher. If the first sequence of Ghost had been transplanted onto the begining of this ep it would have been almost perfect. The pace was right, the story was right. It gave you time to work out the characters and placed enough little cryptic clues about to get your mind thinking, to make you want to watch the rest of the series. All the little things that flash up going 'Look out for me, somethings going to happen here... but not yet' were hidden enough but still visable.
I liked that ep... in case you didn't work it out. Enough to get me excited about the rest of the series.
Spent a long time today doing revision, just to fill the time. Tis a good thing I guess, but i'm thinking this will be a very time filling week, complete with lots of re-watching of slightly neglected fandoms and lazy not get out of bed days... possibley what i need to let me finish theyear without combusting, possibly enough the make me lazy about getting back to work, we'll see...
