Re: The latest Dollhouse panic

[sombrefan]

This online fandom business was a lot easier when Angel and Firefly were in trouble. Now it's all about quelling rumours on Twitter and rallying support on MySpace.

And for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about:

Fox will not air the last episode of Dollhouse season one.

I haven't looked at Whedonesque today. Is it just a rumor and is fandom going boom over it?

Fox said yesterday in a May Sweeps press release that episode 12 was the season finale. And today Felica Day tweeted that episode 13 will not air.

Well, that's just plain weird. But then again, it's Fox.

I'm sad, but not shocked. FOX is as they have always been.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

I deleted my own comment because I just read what Tim Minear said about it. His statement cleared it up. I sure hope it gets renewed though.

So fandom is now a flock of starlings, whirling and tweeting in every gust of air?

So...?

What does that mean? cancelled?

No official word about the show's renewal. The whole fuss about the last episode was down to Fox paying for 13 episodes but 20th Century Fox making 14.
