Holy cow I just saw Epitaph One. Fox might just be the worst people on earth. Who could see Epitaph One and decide it shouldn't be aired? What, a rerun of Til Death or something is better?
I'm dying to know how the writers are going to make the rest of the series fit into the future they established here.
...also, I think that this goes to show how necessity is the mother of all invention. Fox required a 13th episode to give to overseas broadcasters and wanted to do clip show. But Joss said no and came up with this instead. It apparently cost half of what a normal ep costs, as it takes place almost entirely on the Dollhouse set, and by using the "future" actors they saved time because the regular cast was busy filming other episodes.
And as a result of Fox's corporate demand, we get a mindfuck of an episode that's inventive and clever and awesome (Reed Diamond!) and ironically smashes to smithereens the boring procedural format Fox tried so hard to straitjacket the show with. Cool.
