We are going to have to talk about this

Feb 28, 2012 21:25

Okay. Okay, I need someone who has seen both Star Trek and Dollhouse, because we need to discuss handlers and bonding and the possibilities thereof.

STAT, PEOPLE. STAT.

pure frivolity, fic ideas, audience participation, writing, star trek, random fangirling, dollhouse

I've never seen dollhouse, though I've read up a bit on it due to a couple of fanfictions that crossed over with it. You can find some info at places like.. http://dollhouse.wikia.com/wiki/Dollhouse_Wiki

Oh, I've watched it numerous times, I just need someone to chat with who's seen it as well. :lol:

Ah. I wish I could be of more help then. Unfortunately it was one of those shows that was just never on when I had time to actually watch anything.

YES!!!! I volunteer!! I literally just finished watching Dollhouse!! I can totally see Kirk and Spock grouping, Scotty as the crazy tech guy, Mccoy as the doll/doctor, Pike as a handler, maybe Sarek as a handler as well. And the one in charge of the house...maybe Archer, or Komack? You are my new favorite person ever

I soo second the above casting. I'd be tempted to make Spock a handler, buuuut he has way more than enough personal angst to be thrown right into dollhood.

Auugh! And then he would know nothing of Sarek being his father! The potential! It burns me.

Oh that is brilliant. Spock does angst so well, and I can see interesting things being done with Vulcan blankness versus the generic happy blankness of the dolls.
In some ways Kirk is much hard to imagine as a doll, because they try to make the dolls sexless and Kirk's sexuality is a huge part of his character for me.

Actually, what got me thinking about it was someone referring to Echo being "bonded" to her handler, and because my mind is a crazy merry-go-round of slash, my train of thought immediately went:

Bonding --> Jim and Spock bonding --> Jim as a doll and being bonded to his handler, Spock, only ZOMG IT GOES EVEN DEEPER THAN ANYONE HAD ANTICIPATED AND THEY END UP FULL-ON VULCAN BONDED

I don't even know what to do with this idea. XD But Jim would make such a good doll, and maybe, I don't know, Starfleet has him imprinted because of his pedigree (much like the whole thing with Senator Perrin)? Or, OR, if you really wanted to play fast and loose with canon, Jim Kirk died years ago--maybe on Tarsus?--and so they imprinted this guy to pretend to be him. In any case, they assign Spock to be his handler and it's so weird, because they don't even really get along but Jim trusts him.

With his life.
