Although I log in to the SF Fandom Twitter account a few times each week, I rarely check to see who has actually sent a tweet to the account. Hence, I missed a late December Tweet from Tore Simonsen, who appears to be a dedicated Dollhouse fan trying to save the show.
I decided I might as well give his campaign a little boost, although I don't know if my help comes too late.
You can read his Dollhouse: Help In Any Way You Can post here. It provides some links you can follow to sign online petitions, etc.
Good luck, Tore.

Is Fringe getting edgier or not?
After watching this week's episode of Fringe I was left wondering if J.J. Abrams and company really have a road map in mind for the storyline or if they are just trying to drag out the second season with continual cliff-hangers.
I like the actors -- all of them. John Noble especially dominates virtually every scene he is in unless Joshua Jackson is given the chance to make some of his flippy "my dad is so wigged out I have no clue what he is doing" comments.
But that's the think about this show. Right now it seems to be dragging on and not getting anywhere, and it's only real asset for now seems to be the acting. The directing is not bad but the episodes move around so much the viewing audience doesn't really get a chance to catch its breath. And the storyline just keeps taking twists and turns.
Is this what television entertainment has come down to? We're just supposed to be an audience of muppets who sit politely on our couches, oo and ah in the right places, and then go blog and tweet about what a great show we love?
I note that Joss Whedon's Dollhouse was just cancelled. He just can't seem to get a break. Every show the guy has launched after Buffy the Vampire Slayer has gotten caught in the doldrums. Is the problem that the networks expect shows to be too formulaic or is it that the science fiction TV audience is becoming jaded to the formulas?
