Any favorite scenes? Favorite lines?I love that scene with the drugged Victor!Dominic and how Adelle prodded what he meant with 'Alpha' as the password while Topher and Boyd were all, "IDK, he's a bit drugged." and Adelle gave them the "shush, let him finish" glare. It reminded me of the scene in Omega where Topher says he's the smartest person in the room, but going back to the imprinting room, he can't figure out what Dominic meant with Alpha (Your smarter with the technical stuff, Topher ( ... )

1) For me, Enver Gjokaj was the super surprise talent on the show. It's not just that he can act (and act well) but the way he was able to act others people's characters so phenomenally well was astounding. I kept forgetting that his Topher wasn't actually Topher. His Laurence Dominic was excellent as well ( ... )

When asked about the password for the document, he replies with ‘Alpha’ but the others don’t believe him, aside from Adelle who orders them to try it anyway, convinced that the information is good. Interesting coming from someone not willing to believe his methods or intentions regarding the Dollhouse not so long ago.

And he had called her naive during their confrontation.That scene was so interesting because of this. It was just... I love it so much.

but I think with Dom still in charge, Rossum taking over the Dollhouse would have definitely gone more in Adelle's favour (....Harding may or may not have ended up dead at the end of that arc as well....just saying.)

I think the events in the Perrin arc would have gone differently if Dominic had been in charge. IDK, I think he's more hands on and would make sure that Echo can be contained. I also think Ballard wouldn't be sent to retrieve Mellie. IDEK. Best Head of Security ever.

However, if I did have to say that I had a head!canon for the episode (when it aired), it was that ( ... )

Dom really is a more hands-on Head of Security and I totally agree, I think Echo would have been more contained and not running around the LA area unsupervised for several months. Dom would have had a handle on that so fast! Adelle! Why did you go down a notch for security?!

Lol. It was Boyd. Definitely.

It was totally Boyd! Haha.

She reacted emotionally to Dom's betrayal and picked the nearest, capable guy who could do the job? lol

Also, I made a poll about the Celebration Week. Hope you could answer :D

I had thoughts on these episodes, but then I got caught up in RL. My Januarys are never busy, until this year. Gah! Anyway, thoughts...

1. How awesome was Enver Gjokaj's take on Reed's take of Laurence Dominic? (answer: very)
Beyond! I mean, wow, does he ever channel Reed's intensity, his mannerisms, his damn voice. Don't even ask about his Topher (I couldnt help it, I read ahead) I swear his hand gestures alone sold the character, the rest was over the top brilliant. Why he isn't acting in everything ever is a mystery to me.

2. And how awesome was the part when DeWitt and Dominic realized who sent the flash drive to them?
Complete minds-in-sync moment!
Did you notice the part where Topher and Boyd didn't want to take the word of a drugged Victor!Dominic about the password, but Adelle was?
Not only did she take his word for it, but she knew when he was telling the truth but not all of the truth - she knew him well enough to draw out the whole 'greek letter alpha' part.

3. If ASitHoL did not happen and Dominic was still Head of ( ... )
