Fair enough.

I mean, Joss' schtick seems to be taking an idea that seems kind of campy and bad and making something cool with it. With Dollhouse, IMO, he had the campy/kinda-bad-seeming idea, but he didn't manage to make something cool out of it, at least not within the first half a seasons. Maybe his ability to craft a good narrative failed him. Maybe the network interfered and fucked with things. Hell, it seems like it was some amount of both, plus some other stuff (like casting a lead actress who didn't have the chops to handle the role).

I guess...I'm disinclined to blame Whedon, because I don't like to blame creators for not creating better unless they repeatedly make the same egregious creative mistakes, which, IMO, Joss doesn't generally do. I am fine with blaming the network for interfering, though, because in their case it wasn't a failure of creative vision (which happens to all creative people at one point or another), it was a need to stick their bureaucratic, non-creative noses in where they didn't belong.

However, YMMV and I can respect that.
