Despite a tumultous bout of reviews and ratings, "Dollhouse" will at least finish out the first season. Well, almost...
The Dollhouse closer airs May 8, titled "Omega," and represents the show's 12th episode aired. But there's also a 13th episode called "Epitaph One," directed by Whedon. Whedon compatriot Felicia Day (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) had a role in the unscheduled episode and Twittered: "Man, day getting worse and worse. Found out my Dollhouse ep, #13 isn't gonna air. Only on DVD. Such a great part too. Thx Fox. :( ..." (Live Feed)
Here's the thing: we have mixed feelings about this decision. On one hand, we LOVE Joss Whedon, and we want to see every episode of every show he ever has a hand in. But on the other hand, we also don't want Dollhouse to get bounced off the air prematurely and never really get to realize its potential. If holding back on airing "Epitaph One" (which we can always see on DVD anyway) will give Dollhouse a shot at a second season, then we say do it. That sai, we don't like to see Joss Whedon disappointed.
