Its difficult, I did enjoy the episodic feel for the first and part of the second season, but the quality of them was lacking (yes, im bringing up the singing episode), and it needed to progress beyond that and become something alot more... I do completely see what you mean about the last few episodes, too much has changed too quickly.Transformer Kamen wrote:I actually had completely the opposite reaction--really liking the episodic feel of the first and (most of) the second seasons. The last few episodes have really seemed like season 3 being crammed in at the last moment. Basically, everything after the thing with the Senator has really disappointed.
For instance in the space of 2 or 3 episodes we had DeWitt have multiple breakdowns, crises of conscience, flipping from side to side between Rossum and loyalty to the house, and the final reveal of her intentions.
Also, the completely random 3 month time jump that took place was horrifically forced, and in a sense ruined the pace of the show.
In a perfect world I would have extended the episode involving Victors release in to a 2 parter as I was really looking forward to seeing how he would integrate with society (an idea which reminded me of Shawshank), and whether the dollhouse would affect him... But this was glossed over to him just laying in a bath cos it was like the sleeping quarters in the house.
