Yeah, I think so re: Dr. Horrible. I'm not a podcast fan in general so maybe that explains it? Makes sense to me. The whole feel of podcasts, the things they do, and very often the sense of humor are just different from tv.
Adelle Dewitt! *fangirls* OMG YES. I was absolutely shocked that Joss Whedon managed to write that character, and particularly her relationship with Topher. I kinda want proof of his direct involvement because, frankly, I suspect the intervention of a rogue staff writer. (I have a few low opinions of Whedon's character writing.) But then, I think Whedon really pushed outside his comfort zones on a number of fronts when writing Dollhouse, so maybe I should give him a little more respect.
Re: Eliza Dushku, I was mostly just happy with all the pretty... she has her moments, but you're right, her acting is frequently not great. I saw a great comment that she was the perfect actress to play the fully-developed Echo because Echo had such a monolithic, bland personality anyway. Which sounds snarkier than I or (I think) the original commenter intended it--there is just something . . . creepily uniform about late-stage Echo that works perfectly.
