Fandom Love.
Hi guys. I'm not sure what it was (post-Holiday blues? lingering flu?) but lately I've been feeling a bit of the blahs and ignoring you fun people at LJ. And while TV may contribute to risks of heart failure, I have to say this week has revived some excitement in fandom. Hopefully, I can become a better LJ citizen for it.
How about that Chuck? ( Read more... )

But I can’t believe that Caroline is self-self taught at the young age with her advanced spy-skillz of self-insertion and bombmaking.
They didn't offer Bombmaking 101 at my school. They owe me a refund. ;-)
I do believe every regular got one except the cold-yet-caring hard-nose gun-toting scientist Madame.
They have such trust and comfort in each other’s special talents, yet they still remain alone. Its like they have to be each other’s family by default.
Yes. Family. Sometimes they get really annoyed with each other but they stick together.
And yeah, what happened to Ivy? Good point!
You know I’m gonna miss the architecture and interior of the LA Dollhouse.
Hee! That place was pretty 'swank' as Topher put it.
“I love you guys.” HUH? But not Paul, hee. Oh poor Paul.The live blog comm I was lurking in everyone was like: WHAT? But he did really love them. I ( ... )

The live blog comm I was lurking in everyone was like: WHAT? But he did really love them. I know. It's odd but still kinda . . . Boyd. Now that I've had time to process, I could see it was true. But was he really that lonely? It's a bit insane, and I always thought that Boyd (before BB) was the most calm, collected, and sane person inside the Dollhouse. Nope, still am bitter about BB-twist. I need to come up with a term of disappointment that could encompass Boyd as Rossum, and Anders & Tigh as a Cylon.
This show never did treat her right, not really. I know. So sad. Never measured up to Echo, abused and kidnapped by Rossum, and 'she' couldn't even die in her own 'persona'. Poor doll-Paul is still angsting about his doll-state. ( ... )

You are bitter about Benedict-Boyd? I'm not. He was still kind of sweet underneath the crazy and that saved it for me. He loved Echo. I really, really believe that and she loved him. He was just so wrong and misguided. Is he worse than Adelle giving those plans? Topher making that tech? Claire shooting Bennett? No one gets away clean here.
But they even have time to replace Madeline November?)
I don't know! What's worse is I think they will all forget about her in ten years. Even Paul. I'm not sure what they were trying to say with Melli/November's character. It is sad.

Topher making that tech? Yeah, we know how well he's handling the guilt. You'd think Adelle would use the chair help Topher forget that part in order to heal him of the guilt. I mean the chair is still functioning in the future.
Claire shooting Bennett? We still don't know why she shot Bennet. They needed Echo's body not the Caroline personality. I have so much confusion with Claire-Whiskey-Clyde in terms of character, motivations, and hell, even LOGISTICS. So confused I can't even frame the questions.
I think they will all forget about her in ten years. Even Paul. I'll blame Paul. Priya at least has an excuse: she doesn't remember Sierra's memories of November. Wait, isn't Epitaph One Sierra, Sierra not Priya? I really, really need to rewatch that episode.

Well, you go on with your AU self! I think she'd tell Topher, though. She really did seem to be trying to lift the burden of responsibility from soley being on him.

Well, I don't think she wants to make Topher a doll. However now anyone could get imprinted! I wonder if she thinks about that when he's crazy. They could maybe fix him, but in nine years they didn't.
So confused I can't even frame the questions.
I know! CLAIRE. They must give us some answers on her.
In Epitaph One Priya is Priya. She even gets it tattooed on her back so she won't forget. The ep DVD commentary says that she starts the tattooing that continues in the future. Priya is like the mother of la revolucion!
Rewatch Epitaph One! It's still awesome!

The ep DVD commentary says ... eek! Still don't have access to that yet.
I wonder if she thinks about that when he's crazy. They could maybe fix him, but in nine years they didn't. I forget, the assault (whoa, the second one, or is it the fourth -- my my Adelle's repair bill must be off the roof!) on LA Dollhouse in Epitaph One, was that ten years later or just a few years later, and Mags et company enters the LA Dollhouse ten years later? I wonder if maybe, just maybe, Topher in Epitaph One tried the Caroline vaccine or created a brain architecture that would be impervious to (remote or chair) wipes. Hence his own science-powers prevents him from curing his mental illness via tech. Oh the irony.

I liked it. But it's so different watching Epitaph One first. I saw Topher from the outset very differently. I understood the implications of the technology differently too. I think seeing it first made me more patient but also more wanting to get back to Epitaph One world too. If the show was going to continue and this was the first ep, I think they'd have to make reference to it again throughout the show. One friend of mine said wouldn't it have been cool to visit the Epitaph One world for each season finale? Epitaph One, Epitaph Two, just to keep this narrative going. I don't know about that but even though I'm sad the show is ending I'm really glad we are getting back to Epitaph One world. I don't think we would have quite as soon if the show was continuing.
