I thought it was pretty clear — though no-one from behind the scenes has said anything, even implicitly — that the network told them to drop their plots midseason and reboot the arcs. Hence the sudden loss of Sunil and the abrupt removal of Anna, followed by the equally abrupt introduction of a Greg replacement. CW

And she's totally a Ravenclaw herself. Or a Ravenclaw/Slytherin crossbreed. Maybe Hufflepuff, at a stretch. Definitely not a Gryffindor.

I honestly found that damn Windbag to be the most annoying thing this show has done. And normally it's not annoying at all. The ending saved it, but for the most part he's creepy, grating and smug, when I think it'd have been better for him to be charming, ingratiating and… yeah, okay, still smug. But more in a

Which, of course, means nothing if they can't kidnap the kids in the first place.

So, um, why didn't the Count and his henchpeople just murder the shit out of Mr. Poe and kidnap the kids? They outnumbered them considerably, and don't have compunctions about murder (unless the character didn't die in the source material, apparently — see, also, Jacqueline in the second episode).

It annoys the life out of me when people take reviews as gospel, rather than as a suggestion.

Which also had the effect of heavily delaying the show on at least on occasion.

Pfft. I, for one, loved that one of them turned out to be a psychic.

I'm pretty impressed with what they've chosen to represent their dragon. (There's a spoiler in the next press release). They're bringing back the little girl from Bahrain..

This is still the show's first arc — it's planned to end with the 14th episode. I'm assuming that the second one (15 - 22) will have a different subtitle.

Well, actually, it's still an incredibly nebulous term. In some cases, it's the equivalent of a single director, in others it's not. So Bryan Fuller is incredibly hands on, yes, but in other cases the term is far more nebulous — e.g. the first season of Agents of SHIELD. Joss Whedon plotted the season, Jed Whedon and

Sorry, that didn't turn up in my feed — I was using the notifications system, which only lets you see direct replies and not the entire thread.

Well, yeah, it was a classic case of queer baiting — the lack of pay off should have been very obvious early on, and it confuses me that you let yourself get invested in the relationship despite this. What about Moffat's past work indicates that he actually cares about queer characters beyond simplistic and

My god that promo. What the fuck were they thinking? No wonder it was so hard to sell people on the idea that Dollhouse was remotely feminist.

Except, that's not the premise of the show, it's the premise of all those memes made by people who now have to feel incredibly foolish because, joke's on them, the show is pretty much the exact opposite of what they imagined it to be (and what all those memes required it to be in order to work).

Ha! Perhaps. Oh well, guess it can't be helped now.

Not quite — I'm not too bothered by the joke when the words are explained to the kids, though the show is basically guilty of repeating the one joke there.

They're deeply patronising and incredibly repetitive. A handful of them is fine for a book, but to have about as many in an episode of television is a clear mistake.
