Farewell words

[frenchani]

So I rewatched Dollhouse's finale, hoping that I would find it  redeeming qualities and that I'd like it better this time...

Really, it was Adele/Topher that worked for me in this episode - one bright, graceful note in an otherwise lackluster ending for me.

To me, having Paul live in Echo's head is a strange "happy" ending. There really is no way for them to have a relationship that would do either one of them any good that way, and Paul's pointess, random death seemed more like a "trick" that Whedon has done one too many times. Alpha's presence actually annoyed me as well, as his evoluation had to be taken completely on faith, and his quick disappearance again at the end of the episode was illogical (they're in the only place safe from the wave, so why did he leave it? Where else is better???)

I'm a sci-fi girl too, and I'm enjoying Caprica so far. Enough that I've rented Battlestar Galactica, which I've never seen, to start watching!

BSG was a terrific show and I'm falling in love with Caprica!

I think that Sci-Fi might just not be Joss Whedon's genre. I guess he lacks the right gravitas to do it properly, he's too campy

Yes, it could have ended better. But like you and prophecygirrl above, Adele/Topher stole the show.

Who would have htought, at the beginning of season 1, that Topher would become such a favourite?

I wish we had more Claire Saunders too...
