THEY DID IT IN A WAY THAT WORKED NARRATIVELY WISE? In that, like, I love him dearly and I've trusted him basically since day one and even now that he's Evil!Boyd I still love him and want to trust him and they very much played into that. Rather than just "We know you loved him BUT NOW HE'S EVIL HAHA SUCKERS GUESS YOU CAN'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE" sort of thing that I've gotten from other shows.
Spoiler. Um, obviously.chicafrom3January 16 2010, 23:31:04 UTC
He's apparently the original founder of Rossum, the Dollhouse's parent company. He's responsible for bringing Caroline into the Dollhouse. He's been manipulating things behind the scenes to get Echo to "full potential" re: retaining imprints, and also he arranged for Topher's remote-imprinting tech to be implemented, which means that to a certain degree he's responsible for the bad!future in Epitaph One.
Adelle/Topher is my platonic!OTP as well. I love their mother/son relationship. I loved how in Topher's security footage, you could see her put her hand on his cheek and step forward to kiss his cheek, which they had in the script for the last one, but cut.
Victor!Topher is awesome. Tony/Priya is adorable. Amy Acker is amazing. Paul is boring, but I like him with Mellie, and now she's dead. Boo. I do like that he gets SOME amusing lines. Occasionally.
How good is Harry at making Boyd evil though? It's amazing. He's so creepy, but not enough that it would throw off the characters. It's very subtle. The evil grin when he said "I'm glad I chose you." to Topher made me flail.
Topher makes me hurt so much. I love how Topher kept wanting to like.. I don't even know, attack people? First Whiskey!Clyde for killing Bennett, then BOYD for killing Bennett, and then like "I invented it... which means I have to destroy it!" He tries so hard to make things right. It breaks my heart
( ... )
Harry is amazing. The subtle creepiness, where he makes it so you know you shouldn't trust him and the other characters shouldn't trust him but you still do anyway. OMG. He's so incredible. This cast is so incredible.
I will join you in that fight! Topher's had some serious ethical and moral lapses, he's definitely not the most white-hat-good-guy around but I don't see how anyone could possibly call him evil. The sheer desperation in his realization that his tech is being used for evil... D:
...I need to get a Boyd icon eventually, probably.
Adelle & Topher are my platonic!OTP. Oh god. I want them to live happily ever after and I know they won't and whyyyy.
I am in 100% agreement with this statement.
We still have one episode that's good to know. I was thinking it was over for good leaving us right back at the start, but how will they fix this in one episode.
Topher!Victor = ♥♥♥ (Enver is so flippin' good, OMG). And Anthony/Priya (while Topher!Victor ties to convince Priya of adding cooking skills to the mix in case of future husbandry - omg, how cute!) = more ♥♥♥. Those 2 make a scene 10 times better just by being in it with their awesomeness.
I prefer Paul with Mellie to Paul with Echo, which isn't saying a whole lot because Paul, as a whole, equals boring. But I like Mellie. Quite a bit.I'm the same way! Totally agree. I liked Mellie. Poor girl
( ... )
Enver is amazing, omg. He better be working constantly after this or there is no justice in the world.
I still can't cope with evil!Boyd. D: I'm terrified that I'll go back and watch earlier episodes and spend all his screentime going "WHYYYYYYY". But it's either that or completely repressing it when I rewatch earlier episodes.

That...more or less sums it up, I think.
