"Dollhouse" halts its rating slide and delivers most watched episode since its premiere.

The 5th episode, "True Bliever" earned a 2.6/4, with an average 4.33 million viewers.

Here are the numbers so far for "Dollhouse:"

Ghost - 4.7 million.
The Target - 4.22 million.
Stage Fright - 4.13 million.
Gray Hour - 3.5 million.
True Believer - 4.33 million.

Some have speculated that the the poor showing for "Gray Hour" may have been due to the movie premiere of "Watchmen."

According to Joss Whedon in a note to reporters, these early episodes represents "baby steps" for the series and that from episode 6 and 7, "Man on the Street" and "Needs," "Dollhouse" will be an extra compelling place to visit.

"These two episodes represent a much stronger vision of what I consder the show to be," said Whedon. "For me, the question isn’t just whether a show is enjoyable, but whether it’s more than the sum of its fun, whether it truly touches, surprises or connects with you. These [episodes] may do none of the above — I’m not the boss of your opinion — but I feel strongly that they, and the eps to follow, are pretty intense, and very much worth the watching."

"Man on the Street" and "Needs" will air March 20th and April 3rd respectively.

Once again, I was not contacted for my vote.

Thus I fail to believe any alleged "ratings".

No more than I believe in "presidential elections", fairy tales, nor anything else alleged by the media (mafia).

Joss is swimming against the current of RWE. Good for him and his team of writers.

Good to see the return of The Joss Sense Of Humor TM.

Dollhouse always includes sexploitation via male/female shower scenes. Colleges now have male-female dorms with male/female restrooms and showers. In the Real World. US Army and National Guard soldiers are required to live together in the same tent, even when married to others. Rapes are extremely commonplace, with routine murders of those who complain. I know, because my wife got to experience that reality in both USAF and Army NG, which was NOT fun.

Other blatant propaganda in this week's epp was homage to The Waco Massacre by BATF ("Lets kill all those crazy Christians").

Some Truth trickled down in Dollhouse, such as falsified Probable Cause, just like RWE. The fake caller had never even been to that church, and was not even in the same state.

OOPS, Texas FLDS Raid Based on False Report?

Rozita Swinton, A 33 year old Colorado Springs woman was arrested on Wednesday for filing a false report in connection with the FLDS raid in Texas. She may even be the alleged "16 year old Sarah", that sparked the raid in the first place.

A TV station in Arizona is reporting Swinton made false calls to the Texas authorities, sparking the raid at the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) compound.

Texas authorities defend polygamous sect raid

After four-year inquiry, sheriff says he got legal grounds to act last week

The trigger for the raid was a hushed phone call from a terrified 16-year-old girl to a family-violence shelter who accused her 50-year-old husband of beating and raping her. State troopers put into action the plan they had on the shelf to enter the 1,700-acre compound, and 416 children, most of them girls, were swept into state custody because of suspicions that they were being sexually and physically abused.

"You cannot go in and bust in someone's house if there's not probable cause to do so," Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott said.

The man alleged to be the 16-year-old girl's husband, Dale Barlow, is a registered sex offender who pleaded no contest to having sex with a minor in Arizona.

Major myths were regurgitated (vomited) in True Believer, such as that David Koresh set his own church on fire (ignoring the tank assault - while broadcasting "This Is Not An Assault" - with deadly and flammable CS gas), and an "arsenal" is illegal (aka "lawful private property" and/or "licensed firearms dealership business").

Censored from Dollhouse was church suvivors mowed down by ATF and military soldiers using full-auto machine guns firing from tanks and helicopter gunships (as seen on police video in Waco Rules of Engagement), military satchel bombs used to massacre all children hiding inside a concrete room ("bunker"), loudspeakers playing sounds of live rabbits being slaughtered (mind control of psycho cops), and FBI agents posing for photos while standing on the skulls of church members.


Welcome to Waco

BTW BATF, FBI, Pentagon, NATO, Russian and Israeli military murdered 80 Christians in church at Waco (Crawford) Texas, over alleged lack of purchase of a $250 firearms license which allows lawful ownership and manufacturing of full-auto machine guns, but no evidence of such full-auto firearms was ever found.

In reality, any person can lawfully shoot a full-auto machine gun WITHOUT a license:

...How is any of what you just wrote not "propaganda"?

As for the real news, I'm glad the shows ratings have risen!

The problem with the 20th is that a lot won't watch because it's also the series finale of "Battlestar Galactica", me included. So, I'll be taping Dollhouse while me and several friends are watching Sci-Fi--and then watch the recording after. Does taping the show still count as watching--have they figured out how to count the fact hardly anyone watches a TV show when it actually airs anymore?

While not interested myself in this new mythos, I wish Mr. Wheedon well on it, in that a success here mayhap convince him and influential others to have a go at Serenity II. Here's hoping.
