Topic: 2x01
Srsly?... no one commented on this ep yet?
Hmm. Well, I thought it was awesome. I particularly liked Jamie Bamber doing his own english accent. 
(And "Helo" getting to be in a fight with "Apollo" 
)
Re: 2x01
I loved the "I remember them all..." by Echo. That felt a bit strange and yet so awesome. They have so many places they can take this now.

Yeah, it was like an Angel/Galactica reunion - Faith, Fred & Wesley with Apollo & Helo.
And it was an interesting turn in the messed up relationship between Dr Saunders and Topher.

Too bad - the first season started weak, the finale wasn't great, and there was a lot in this new episode that only really works if you've been watching the last season. Season 1, Episodes 5 - 11 were all amazing though - definately on-par with Angel and Buffy, although not on Firefly's level. If you don't like it, that's fair enough, but I will tell you you've managed to dodge all the good bits.
Can't say this episode was as good as it could have been, except for the Saunders/Topher interaction, which worked really well.

Epitaph One doesn't count as the official finale since you could only get it through download or buying the DVDs, so the season 1 finale was Omega.

hmm... E1 was clever, and considering the production situation it stands as a good example of storytelling vs visual sensationalism, but personally it totally put any interest i had in this series (which was entirely 'joss' motivated to begin with) in the tank... i mean i just love reading the first chapter of a book, then the last... and the whole 'flash forward/maybe this will happen, maybe we can change it' is such a contrived storytelling device that is way overused in every medium these days... i just finished watching 2x01 and found myself more engaged in folding my laundry... though the topher/saunders stuff was interesting... those few scenes said more about the nature of human behaviour than the first series did... i'm going to keep watching, but it's solely motivated by the saunders stuff...
i'm going to eat your brains and gain your memories...

I know.. but it's still the finale, to me...

Re: 2x01
I have to agree this episode didn't really do anything for me except the mentioned interaction most of you mentioned already. Hopefully more quality will come.
I mean imprinting has alot of plausible outcomes and uses I don't see the writers tap all the potential this idea has. We seen a few episodes where it used for other then "Hi lets have a adventure and (kinky) sex".
Anyways I'll watch where it goes with some hope yet

Re: 2x01
sorry for all dollhouse fans but the season premier had terrible ratings and we all know what fox likes to do with that, hope next weeks is better
