So Felicia Day has apparently Twittered (here) that the thirteenth episode of Dollhouse isn't going to air, just be on the DVD.

And this makes me sad on many levels. One, just that I won't get to see it live and will have to wait for the DVD. And two, even though I've totally been one of the "shut up about the FOX curse and just chill" people, this seems like a major show of lack of confidence on FOX's part about the show.

I REALLY don't want it to get canceled.

You can send angry emails/calls/Twitters if you want; Dollverse has the contact information.

So according to this article, the deal is that FOX was never planning on airing the 13th episode of Dollhouse.

'Omega', the 12th episode, acts as a season finale and wraps up the Alpha story line. When FOX ordered 13 episodes, they did it by counting 'Echo', the unaired original first episode, as one of the 13, even though they didn't use it.

So basically, this doesn't mean that FOX randomly pulled the 13th episode and is planning on canceling the show. Obviously they still might, but this isn't a doomsday sign.

This sort of makes me feel better, but at the same time, way more pissed at FOX. I don't understand why they would complete and film and episode - and plan to put it on the DVD! - and then decide not to air it at all. FOX needs to get its shit together and actually be clear about what they're doing with this show, and what's happening with this episode, and then maybe people wouldn't be pissed at them all the time.
