I'm watching Dollhouse- or, more specifically, I'm trying to watch Dollhouse, because apparently I've seen the first at least five episodes of the season two and I'm only realizing this as I start the episode- and, three thoughts
( Read more... )
Oh man, Adelle is amazing. Her arc in season 2 is just probably my favorite arc on a Joss show ever. (It is season 2, right? I watched the show so fast I don't know if I can separate the two seasons in my head.)
re: Madeline and Melanie! HAHAHA! Look at your parents, they started a trend!
I'm on season two, and Adelle is still being as fierce as ever. I'll let you know if she somehow manages to get more fabulous. (I don't doubt her ability to achieve this, I just can't conceive of her being more amazing.)
It's weird! In the second Legally Blonde movie, one of the judges was named Madeline Melanie [last name] and it was like whoaaaa my mind is blown, and here November was called Mellie by Helo and then her real name was Madeline... the mind reels.
This was basically me when I was watching Dollhouse. Dewitt ensnared me enough to keep watching throughout the whole series, but I usually watched while doing something else mindless, like internet shopping or something, so that I wouldn't get too annoyed at how little Dewitt there was. I really did like the last 4 or so episodes though; it was only then that I was like, "Damn, this could have been much more awesome than it was."
But yeah, I'm pretty sure the show would have been epically awesome if it has been the Adelle Dewitt show rather than the Echo show.
I was trying to explain to my friend why I was watching it even though I disliked most of it, and seriously, Adelle DeWitt is the main reason. Sure, I like seeing Tahmoh Penikett being morally outraged, but not enough to merit its own show. (What I really want is the Dominic & DeWitt hour.)
Although I am so fiercely, insanely attached to this show at this point that I love pretty much everything about it. Like, 98% of what it chooses to be. I even reconciled myself to Paul/Echo and now sometimes have feelings of FONDNESS for them. It's straight up whack yo.
I finally got to an episode I hadn't seen yet as the last one on the second disc, and Echo got an illegal immigrant in trouble and then rescued her? And people are bossing Adelle DeWitt around? I am so sad. ADELLE DEWITT SHOULD HAVE TO ANSWER TO NO ONE BUT GOD ALMIGHTY.
other options, River is torturing Faith Cameron is torturing Faith Cameron is torturing Echo Add Tru and repeat Anyway, much as I tend to love Jossverse, that show was disturbing on so many levels that squick armor or industrial sized bottles of bleach are needed to get through it
Cylons=/=Dolls, gotta be the creep factor and the blind faith of the ignorant
LOL, I don't have enough knowledge of Summer Glau's other roles to see her as anything other than River. I suppose it could been seen as River torturing Faith, though.
THIS SHOW IS SO SQUICKY. Like, I'm trying to like, not think too much about it so that I can stomach it, but it's hard.
I started watching because dollsome made me fall in love with Adelle Dewitt and Dominic, and I was so bummed that it wasn't the D&D hour, but instead The Eliza Dushku hour. :(
I so disliked Mellie, and I felt bad for disliking Mellie, and I was really indifferent towards Echo. Sierra/Victor are darling, though.

Maybe the dolls are cylons...

But they're not! They're all different! I keep expecting to see many Echos, and many Sierras and Victors, but nope! Just the one.
