TV Commentary:

Dollhouse- So the end of the series. I still maintain people who watch the show, but didn't bother to pick up the DVDs to watch Epitaph One would've been totally confused. Interesting changes in the intervening years. So Ballard and Echo having been fighting the good fight, Topher's gone even nuttier because Rossum has been forcing him to work on a mass wipe device, Adele's a hippie matronly chick, while Priya is an actual hippie mother, she and Tony having a child. But they're not together, as Tony left with a bunch of other actives to go all mad max on the brainwashed masses.

So while Priya's become a Luddite, Tony and the other actives embraced the Tech as it gave them all sorts of power compared to the common man. But since they don't have chairs, they carry around flash drives that plug into a little mini-imprinter that interfaces with an interfacing circuit visible on the side of their head.

But how sad, Mags gets her legs shot up, and when Ballard goes to help her, he gets a bullet in the head. And Echo is sad because she never got to tell him she loved him back. But it works out, because Alpha (who has turned good) gave her Ballard's imprint to upload into herself. Like how weird is that, so now he's one of the personalities in her, so she's like in love with herself now?

In the end, Topher makes a device that he has to manually detonate that should restore everyone in the world, so he dies. The actives have to stay underground, because other wise they'd lose their memories of all those years, and obviously people like Priya don't want to forget their child, so they're holed up in the Dollhouse, along with Mag, who's legs were all shot up, so she's in no condition to be up there in the post-post-apocalypse. But Adele and Titus'
brother (okay, Zone or Zoner or whatever) lead the non-actives Alpha had in the Dollhouse back to the surface to free them and help guide this new world.

But aren't things gonna still be frakked up, because, everything's frakked up? Sure, people remember who they are now, but the world has effectively collapsed! And you'd think those people who "woke up" would be more freaked out given by their point of view, they were just walking along one day, and suddenly its years later and they're in a post apocalyptic world.

And what happened to Alpha? Did he take off and go somewhere else, or was he just in another part of the Dollhouse so we didn't see him there at the end?

Caprica- What's with Taurons and Fedora hats? Is that their thing in that universe? And wait, did I totally mishear things, or did Adama's uncle out himself? "I'd be hitting on some guy, and Joseph would pick up their sister". Or wait, did he mean literally hitting a guy, because he is kinda thuggish, and he was saying he'd be beating up some dude, and Adama would hook up with their sisters? And Atia and Andi from Kyle XY (Okay, Sister Clarice and Lacey) continue to seem to have a lesbianic vibe to their interactions. And weird, Jason Street is on this show? But getting back to Lacey, is it me, or did she look kinda cute in that kinda Amish dress she was wearing? What kinda idiot announce on live television that she thinks her daughter might've been responsible for the train bombing? She said herself she didn't know her daughter, she's continuing to be wrong about Zoe's life. But I'm sure this bodes well for the Greystones. I mean, his military contract is in jeopardy because the Zoe robot is the only cylon that works, the C-Bucs are doing awful, that crowd looked like they wanted to lynch her, but I guess it is a crowd entirely full of people who had loved ones on the train. And what was that look Joe Adama had as the Greystones drove off? Was he still angry about Daniel ducking him about Tamara? Or upon the whole Amanda Greystone saying she thinks her daughter had something to do with the bombing and holding up the symbol and calling her a terrorist, he's thinking of exacting Tauron vengeance on whom he thinks might've caused the deaths of his wife and daughter?
