I'm not sure it's the most high concept show ever aired on network TV, but it's pretty damn well up there, and it is certainly amongst the bleakest as well, but fuck what a great last episode.
I can only imagine what would've happened to Dollhouse if it had come out of the gate with episodes of the caliber that it ended with. Dollhouse had a LOT of mediocre episodes along the way, but when it clicked, it did so on all cylinders. The second half of season 2 (basically starting with the double episodes in December) was some of the best television I've ever seen. Amazing characters, amazing writing, amazing acting. Amongst a variety of great performances, I really hope Fran Kranz and Enver Gjokaj, in particular, get more work, because holy crap do they deserve it.
Despite what I said earlier in this thread, I'm sad that it's over, but it went out with style, and given the long, slow, horrible deaths many great tv shows have died, there's something to be said for that.
