  1. Dollhouse 3/20 and earlier episodes (spoilers)

    I really enjoyed tonight's episode. It had an emotional core, a couple of surprises, and I was really tense about what would happen to a couple of characters I've really started to like. Is anyone still watching?

    Randy tries to save the economy, but fails miserably. Best part, IMHO, was when they asked the reporter about the economy and he committed suicide. Though seeing how the folks at the Treasury department consulted the chart was pretty good too.
