Why can't Eisner AND Katzenberg be the bad guy? They're both pretty heinous assholes. Katzenberg seemed to think that he WAS the animation department, yet the lack of decent animated films from Dreamworks shows the kind stuff that happens when he's got too much control.

Not stars, but leaves and dust, and they supposedly actually spell "SFX" which makes sense since those things are edited by the special effects department and they had a ton of that kind of stuff in that movie.

Yet Another Giant Plot Hole
OK so they spend all this time reviewing video cameras and investigating to find out who is raping Sierra (only six episodes and more rape! This is just the rapiest show ever!). It's really too bad they don't have any sort of technology where they can, say, download people's memories into

Woah, not liking Dollhouse (mind you I've stuck with it so far and plan to continue watching - for now - because I'm giving it a fair shot to stop sucking eventually) makes me a troll?

because the show has never bothered to get into any detail with regards to the imprinting technology, we aren't told how effective "training" is and it's not even REAL training - it's just knowledge. what about muscle memory? the kick-assery of the dolls would be that much more believable if you saw them in the

I thought the same thing. Everyone was saying she is an angel or like jesus, but actually she's nothing like jesus - but she does fit in somewhat with the jewish messianic figure mythos.

Not Only Do I Hate This Show
But it's making me rethink my Joss fandom in general. I mean, he's a guy who created one show that while awesome, had some really terrible seasons (Buffy), one ridiculous, hamfisted spinoff (Angel), one show with a cheesy conceit that still might have gotten really good, but we'll never

What, exactly, is so complex about Inara? Fancy geisha hooker with a heart of gold, and secretly in love with a somewhat jerkly manly-man who constantly derides her and her profession because he's jealous that he can't tap it for free. Brilliant, complex deconstruction of patriarchal issues there, Joss.

You know, I'm one of those unpleasant man-hating feminists, and what I don't get is how someone as frail-looking as Dukushu is supposed to be able to go up at all against a ripped kickboxer like Ballard, and I don't care what her training or skills are. It's an unfortunate fact of biology that women are, on the

Let's Count The Plot Holes!
- The grocery list is handed to the cashier by the cult member. We never saw any way for an agent to have slipped the note in there, besides, it was a note that already existed and he wrote "save me" on the back of it? Or managed to exchange the notes without the 20 cult members watching?

Yes, it was.

Hey smart guys - a public casting decision IS NOT A SPOILER. It would only be a spoiler if the writers of this show were so stupid that they decided to try to have the actor appear as someone other than Alpha, which would be *stupid* because it's *publicly available information*. Then again, the writing on this show

Late to the Party
I'm the kind of nerd that loves musicals, even some bad ones, secretly. I also love way too many "cult" films. I adore the over-the-topness of Baz Luhrman and Bollywood. I think Anthony Stewart Head is damned awesome. I thought this movie sounded totally rad.

The RHPS comparisons aren't really fair. Most of the songs in RHPS are genuinely fun and catchy with a few duds. There is only one song - out of ten billion (ok it's actually like 39 but that's still 30 songs too many) in Repo that is remotely hummable.
