The sad day has finally arrived. For tonight sees Fox broadcasting what's very likely to be the last ever episodes of Dollhouse. Joss Whedon and his team are going out on one for the fans, too, given that the episode is Epitaph Two, a follow-up to the season one closer that you had to get hold of the DVD boxset to see.

While it'd be remiss to completely rule out a revival in the future, or a spin-off movie, even its most ardent fan would probably have to accept that we're not looking at another Firefly here. The show had two seasons to work itself out, and while there have often been flashes of brilliance, it's lacked the consistency and confidence at times to really be what it could have been.

A pity. But let's hope it goes out on a quality farewell...
