I loved the show and am angry it ended. I like Eliza D, Echo was very smart and entertaining. I thought Tru C was a great show as well. Until they messed it up with the freak. I don't know what ya'll are talking about on this one. I enjoyed every show, every time they aired. They should have been given a better/longer chance. What is wrong with you people? Entertainment! I am not watching to pick it apart. I loved the Topher and Bennett characters as well. Excellent. Too sad, your bad.

"Rushed" is the key word. In watching the episodes of Season 2, I often felt "well, that episode was the Cliff notes version of what we would have learned in Season 5." I think, had the show been allowed to unfold over time, the way Joss usually does, this could have been his best, most mature program. As it is, we have the equivalent of fragments of a lost masterpiece.

Loved the show completely. Epitaph 1 was one of the best hour on TV. Epitaph 2 was great too but was obviously rushed. However, there was one fact that I couldn't get over; Laurence Dominic's story was blatantly contradictory. In Epitaph 1 he was pulled out of the Attic as the chaos started and still hating Echo like he did before he was sent there. In "The Attic", they seemed to have allied themselves.
Paul's death, Echo's outburst and her closure was a really good and moving "death story" but I have never seen a more "beautiful death" than Wes' in Angel's finale -
Demon Fred: Shall I lie to you know?
Wes: Oh yes please!
- but I guess Joss was given a lot more time to build that one up

I like the finale, but was disappointed in that you had to watch Epitaph One. If they made it available on Hulu/Fox, that's one thing; but to make us buy an episode to know what's going on for the finale? The teaser didn't give enough background to those who hadn't watched it.
How did things break down in just 8 years? Why was there anarchy to that bad of an extent.

The ending was too neat and tidy for me. Just because people got themselves back didn't make everything alright. There is still a society to rebuild.

I recall the term "dumb show" from Shakespeare, meaning a pantomime play.

Paul's death reminded me of the T:SCC finale, down to the bullet in the forehead of the male supporting the alpha female. Maybe this was Joss' mea culpa.

Funny, Eliza waited until one of the last scenes of the series to show her acting chops. Oh well. Better late than never.

I enjoyed this series while it lasted.

Season 1 up to Man On The Street was a mess partly because they gave Dollhouse the Firefly treatment, meaning that they aired episodes out of the intended order and screwed around with the tone of the show.

They did the same thing for a couple of episodes this season before they didn't care no more and let Joss do his own thing knowing that they were going to cancel it anyway.

The episode was a very good way to end the show. I do think that Fox should have aired Epitaph One before this one, would've helped the people who did not get the chance to see that episode on the DVD/Blu-ray and/or Itunes etc understand the episode a little better.

I would have loved to see Alpha evolve into the person he was in last nights episode. The episode that he took Ballard's wedge showed he felt something he didn't know he could when he was leaving the Dollhouse but that felt unfinished.

Overall Joss did a very good job. Perhaps if Fox would have given Joss a few more episodes for this season it would have felt a little less rushed but I was more than satisfied with this finale.

Okay S1 was not perfect. But S2 (after the first two or so episodes) WAS perfection. Of course maybe a part of that was them knowing the show could very well end this season and had a more focused plan of where they wanted to take it, but it still meant one of the best seasons I've seen from ANY TV show I've watched the past year (and trust me I watch A LOT of TV).

The finale was great considering what they had to work with. All of the "off" stuff the reviewer mentioned are too nitpicky and could be disproved if one really think about it. Both Epitaph episodes, I feel, require one to watch them more than once before everything sort of registers. Lots of things happening, etc.

Im thinking as I was watching the previews before the show started, that this finale was supposed to be 2 parts. We didnt get to see the first one because of the telethon last week, and FOX didnt air it before the second one last night. Because there were scenes in the previews that I know I havent watched, like when the little girl was imprinted as Echo. Or did I miss something? That would explain why it felt so rushed. It needed to be a solid 2 hours to tie up lose ends. Otherwise I cant wait to get the DVD set!! I loved this show. Started a bit slow, but it really grew on me.

Screw you haters! This show was amazing and not a "favor". It requires an imagination which most people don't have. They need it fed to them.
