'Missing' Dollhouse episode screens in the UK this week
Those of us over here in Blighty will able to see the episode of Dollhouse that almost never was.
Due to the usual shenanigans at Fox TV, the 13th, and final, installment of the season, entitled 'Epitaph One', was not shown in the States.
It's a stand alone episode and, by all accounts, including that of creator Joss Whedon, is a bit bonkers.
It starts ten years into the future and then uses flashbacks to give us a taster of where the series will ultimately be heading.
Whedon has done weird before - the madness of the final episode of Buffy's fourth season for instance - so I'm sure to be turning on SciFi at 9pm tomorrow.

The problem with the final Epitaph 1 is, while it's actually a rather good and tense piece of episodic TV, it's not actually a very good episode of Dollhouse. There's hardly any Dushku (which for me is a good thing) but the whole premise of it is just a bit pointless and much as it pains me to say it I can see why Fox dropped it.
It's an epilogue for a show that (by some miracle, particularly in a world where The Middleman can't get a second season) hasn't actually finished yet and by dint of that fact is actually a bit pointless, although Felicia Day in particular was ace in it.
