Oh, Joss. I do not understand your infatuation with Eliza Dushku. She's very excellent at playing a specific kind of character (badass, uninhibited: Faith, pretty much), but she has a very limited range, and I would rather Joss do a project with literally any other Dollhouse cast member than him try to do something with her again. With the amount of incredible people in that cast--Enver and Olivia Williams and Reed Diamond and Dichen Lachman and pretty much everyone else--I can't imagine why he'd rather work with Eliza. *sigh* But clearly, everyone at whedonesque disagrees with me.

Also! Just in case someone missed it, this thread (and yes, you have to read all the comments, since that's where the fun is) might be the greatest thread in the history of lj. Just sayin'.

Thank y'all so much for going with the Three Sentence Fic-a-Thon. It's making me really, really happy, and there's some great, great, great fic being written. Keep it up!

I think the problem I have with the other two is that they are very one-note - Summer Glau almost always plays socially awkward/crazy and Nathan Fillion plays pompous ass. Both of which they do very well, but it's pretty much all they do, and I find both of those character types annoying.

The only character either of them has played that I liked was Captain Hammer, where it was obvious Fillion was playing up the pompous ass stuff on purpose, almost a self-parody. (It also helps when he's the villain and I'm supposed to hate him.)
