Yes, the Dollhouse has sucked, but lately, it has rocked. Supposedly Josh Whedon had to let the network dominate the first few ones, and the difference couldn’t be more stark. Ethical issues come up – argued with a friend of mine whether this was about Stockholm Syndrome, and on IMDB a rape/prostitution thread is raging. [...]
Bravo is rebroadcasting West Wing, and I’m watching it again. I used to watch it devotedly while I was traveling, in the late 90s, and now I’m trying to watch it in order. This was going to be a feminist review, but now it’s just a review-review. I don’t like Sorkin’s writing- it’s a bad [...]

The sequence of my indoctrination into Church of Justin Timberlake. First, all Christmas vacation have PaxilBack on your mind. (thanks to Rebecca, who showed me it first).
