Nick, yeah, I found out the hard way about IMDb too. A few weeks ago, I was looking at the Episode Cast section and looked at a future episode by accident, one being this past Friday’s episode. I’ve known for quite some time that someone connected to a main character was secretly a doll. So, that reveal on Friday was no surprise to me at all.

I don’t know about Alpha, so I’ll try to stay away from IMDb’s Dollhouse entry for a while.

As for BSG, I’m glad to see someone whose torn about the episode too. I was okay with the ending being “happy,” even if it did seem out of place with how gloomy the rest of the series always was. I’m more torn about the religious overtones (angels, resurrections, divine intervention, etc.). As much as I like the idea of shows, especially sci-fi, integrating a little religion into their stories, I’m not quite sure I like the way BSG pulled it off. Maybe I’m being picky, and I still can’t articulate it well, but something just didn’t feel right about it.

TVAddict, you said of Ron Moore, “Joss Whedon he ain’t.” I’m not always thrilled with Joss Whedon either, so I’d say “J. Michael Straczynski, *they* ain’t.”

DOLLHOUSE was great,Finally!

I never thought that Boyd Langton(Harry Lennix)would be my favorite character but he is.He brings a lot of heart to the show.Having said that Sierra(Dichen Lachman )is awful.She can not act and is creepy to look at.
Im glad this show is picking up.As far as Alpha goes i might have found out who is playing him…Damn you IMDB….

I see your point, but I think when it’s a series finale it is important that the show end on a good note, so it doesn’t alienate the viewers and keeps the fan base alive. I do, however, wish they would’ve killed Helo. When he got shoot, it seemed like a good end to the character.

Luke,
I did indeed. But if BSG, and/or life in general has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t always get what we want. Which is why I think Mr. Moore should have stuck with the tone he set in the world in which he created by having a lot less happy of an ending.

TV addict I’m confused. Didn’t you post before the finale that you wanted BSG to have a happy ending? I loved the finale and I was thrilled that everyone had a nice ending. I like Joss Whedon, but in Buffy and in Angel I felt like he killed two of my favorite characters (Anya and Wesley) just for shock value. I’m glad Ronald D. Moore didn’t take that approach. But if death is really what you were expecting, I guess you could say everyone died after the 150,000 year jump.
