The British website, SFX<\/a>\"\"<\/a> has some pretty amazing info for the inner geek. Perhaps one of the most original and funny features is something called Scriptease, in which a TV show’s entire season or a complete run is eviscerated into bite sized gems of hilarity. Past shows they have poked their sharp stick at are Doctor Who<\/em>, Twin Peaks<\/em>, The X-Files<\/em> and Farscape<\/em>. Needless to say both the website and the feature are required reading for me. Imagine the joy and trepidation I felt when I saw the listing for this latest episode..Dollhouse<\/a>, one of my favorite shows.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is frackin’ amazing. Major props to Jayne Nelson for an absolute dead on approach this show (spoiler alerts). From the very outset,<\/p>\n

“Also, because this is a Joss Whedon show on Fox, there is (a) angst and (b) the threat of imminent cancellation\u201d<\/p>\n

to the\u00a0 sharp barbs of truth and inner subtext we all knew was going on anyway;<\/p>\n

LANGTON<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019m really not sure about all this sex stuff. Aren\u2019t we just running a very expensive brothel here? This is icky.\u201d
\nADELLE:<\/strong> \u201cShh. Have some tea.\u201d
\nLANGTON:<\/strong> \u201cDon\u2019t mind if I do!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jayne has a gifted sense of the absurd and a sharp eye with tongue to match.<\/p>\n

This is Dome sayin\u2019: Did I fall asleep?<\/p>\n
