My short-story-a-month plan is running along with a few bumps. I’ve written two short stories in Feb, but I’m not happy with either of them. I think there’s some potential in the second one, but the first one (while fun to write and hopefully fun to read) is probably not salvageable, it came out more like a writing exercise than a story. Will see about typing them up anyway, anyone who wants to take a look is welcome to stick their hand up…

Dollhouse Ep 3 (No Spoilers)
Again with the by-numbers A-plot while the B-plot runs setup for more interesting stuff down the road. This time the A-plot highlights exploitation, raising implicit questions about the show premise – but man, the fan service is a bit of a pill to swallow for any feminist reading of the show. These opening episodes feel like they’re marking time, but it isn’t unpleasant riding along with them. Three episodes in, the show has not grabbed me with what it has done, but I’m very curious about what it will do next. Roll on episode six.
