I have staked my claim!
So, since people are leaving LiveJournal for Dreamwidth in droves, I decided I better snatch myself up an account, because unlike real life, I seem to completely cave to peer pressure when it comes to the internet. Because, you know, it's no fun conversing with myself. So here I am! I have imported my journal and set up crossposting and whatnot. I... like LiveJournal better. I HATE CHANGE, OKAY? IT MAKES ME TWITCH! Plus, I only have six userpics on Dreamwidth, while I have 107 on LiveJournal. Plus, my LiveJournal is prettier. But anyway, I am following this Dreamwidth fad, finally. We'll see if it lasts. I still refuse to Twitter though. Probably because I am not a text messaging person. Twitter is text messages, right? Or something. I've never really known what the heck that site is for. But our cell phone coverage does not include text messaging, so I am basically stuck in 1998 or something where the concept of texting someone instead of calling them is just bonkers. Or, really, really expensive. Honestly, I WOULD rather text than talk to people. But I've never been blessed with text messaging. Heck, it took me YEARS before I finally caved and bought a cell phone (that I never use).
Er... I have no idea how this post became about my cell phone history. Anyway, Dollhouse. It was pretty awesome. But... kind of anti-climactic? Or, well, it definitely had a climax, but the end just wasn't satisfying for me. At all. I don't know if it's because this was probably the last episode ever and that depressed me, or if it's because it actually wasn't satisfying. I guess I was just expecting more from Boyd and less from Paul. But, Paul surprised me in the end. In a good way. OH, PAUL/MELLIE NOVEMBER! WHY DO YOU PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THAT? Topher was AMAZING in this episode. So, so wonderful. I honestly cannot believe how much I despised him in the beginning, because he's probably my second favorite character now, has been since mid-series (or possibly as early as episode 3). But yeah, him and Saunders were so very wonderful and they totally stole the episode for me. I know it was supposed to be all about Echo and Alpha and their craziness, but... Topher owned me in this episode. Also, I loved what they did with the whole Alpha/Echo/Caroline thing, even if I felt dissatisfied with the ending. There was all kinds of religious symbolism going on in these last few eps and most of it was over my head, especially the Adam and Eve stuff which I just did not put together until long after last week's episode (seriously, I am embarrassed at my cluelessness when it comes to the Bible), but what I loved about this one was the whole idea of someone retaining their soul without their natural memories. Echo was still Caroline without the Caroline personality. She still did the right thing, she still wanted to save the good guys and hurt the bad guys, she still knew right from wrong, HER ideas of right and wrong, while Alpha still used the same techniques that he used as a criminal. He slashed Whiskey's face while he was still a doll, because in his head he was completely justified, and he did it in the same exact way that he did before he became a doll. With all of the personalities inside of him, he was still essentially the criminal he was before even without his original personality. So, that idea was pretty cool. They just overdid it with all the soul talk. Then again, with all the references to the garden of Eden last week, I STILL missed the fact that Alpha and Echo were Adam and Eve. *sigh*
Also, Paul getting November released instead of Echo made me so ridiculously happy. It was just so sweet and good and unexpected. And tragic. SHE DIDN'T REMEMBER HIM. *sniff* I still live in hope that they will meet again one day and fall in love for real this time. Without all the creepiness.
Also, I was kind of ticked off that Paul still got to save Echo, sort of. Well, he didn't save her, but he saved the wedge, and now Echo will associate happy feelings with him and UGH. It should have been Boyd! WHY DIDN'T I GET A BOYD/ECHO MOMENT? WHY? THIS IS THE LAST FREAKING EP AND I GOT NOTHING! Bastards.
But anyway, the ep was awesome, just... lacking in Boyd/Echo, which makes me sad.
OH! Also, if anyone wants a Dreamwidth code, let me know. I think most of you all have signed up already though, but if you need one, let me know.
