I was really surprised too!

Honestly, I think Dollhouse has a lot of problems, but nowhere near as many as rabidly fan-popular shows such as Supernatural. I also think that given Joss' tricky narrative methods, a lot of the squicky things done so far in the show are going to be resolved (sort of a story-telling long con); I like watching Dollhouse because it's one of the few shows that have multiple instances of characters-of-colour and women in speaking, prominent, roles.

I still really have to think my way through Dollhouse. But I'm glad it's going to be around; I would miss a lot of the characters if their stories stopped being told.
