Tell me about it. I was shocked about everything that went down. It only got worse in October when I realized we were likely never going to get a proper resolution on TV. I've already written a couple of fics on my LJ where Journey's End either never happened or what happened to Donna didn't. One pairs Donna with Jack (Prelude to a full blown Journey's End rewrite) and the other is ongoing. Other ideas are coming to the fore where if Journey's End did happen, then there is a fix - it. I've got no problem with much else in JE, but yeah, Donna's fate sucked.
It will be interesting to see what happens after their contracts are up. Just because they sign on the dotted line doesn't necessarily mean they'll get their freedom back at the end of it. I would think an organization like the Dollhouse would be very very reluctant to let their actives, knowing there's always a possiblity that one or more of them will remember and possibly go to the authorties with that info, especially after the disaster that was Alpha. We shall see what happens. Like I said, hopefully Fox won't cancel it before we can get to that point.
Hi. Sorry to just poke my nose in to your conversation. I cruised over from dollhouse_tv. I noticed you were talking about what happens to actives. Last night in "Stage Fright" we heard mention of sending Echo to the "attic" because she is problematic. Which implies that attic is not a good thing -- isn't that where dolls go when they're of no use anymore? I have to wonder if all the actives don't end up there. That there is no real retirement. They sell you an awesome bungalow on the beach, but you end up... well, dead and buried in the sand.
