Since launching in 1997, the Stargate franchise has seen 15 seasons of television and two DVD movies, becoming at one point the longest running science-fiction show in US history. I have to admit, I was a fan. The writing wasn’t always the best, and the deus ex machina solutions in later seasons were a little [...]

Didn’t laugh once. And, uh… yeah. No. Fresh from their “hilariously unexpected non-cancellation”, as Joss Whedon describes it, Dollhouse returned with a bang on Friday and pretty much fulfilled all the changes I wanted to see in the show. More use of the ensemble cast?
