So this is the way the world ends; a week after a big bang, and in two weeks with another whimper. Last week’s installment of Dollhouse was so good, you almost have to grade this week’s on a curve. The big twisties have twisted, the big shocks have been shocked, and now we’re just left […]
Richard Webber has painted himself into a damn scary corner. What purpose does he serve? What role can he play? A teacher, maybe.… An administrator, certainly. But he’s a doctor no more.

Apparently, comparisons to Grey’s Anatomy will be the norm, but I think Ally McBeal is a more accurate comparison. The first hour of The Deep End works for me, based on a […]
