Dollhouse

FTW!! HOLY CRAP!!! The amount for shockers and back story and mind fucks in those two eps. my brain is melting out my ears and my heart is pounding in my throat.

o.O

Ok, so Heathen told me which actor was going to play alpha so that wasn't a surprise. But all through the ep I was thinking... wow... they brain wiped their heating and lighting guy and made him a doll.

um. no. cool.

and then Whiskey!!! Holy shit. Never occured to me. I love her reaction. I love everyone's reaction to discovering they are a doll. It's all kinda mixed up, going from i've been brain wiped to my mind's been placed in a new body. Either way it's a total freak out.

very cool.

And Alpha feeding echo with every single personality. Jeepers, guys. Clearly there are 'streaks' in your wipes. Need to switch to Windex.

Alpha putting Caroline into some chick... shit, he is scary brilliant scary. I love the Echo never plays by anyone's rules. No matter where she is and what she does, she's a wild card.

I am totally impressed with Alan Tudyk. I was telling Heathen that I was all meh about that. I thought how could that dinosaur-playing cutie make me really shiver. *shivers*

"Did you always want to be a Doctor? Are you sure about that?" *shivers*

November!!! Oh man, I cried when she left. Just... *sigh* I'm happy for her. she's out, but it's so heart breaking for Mr FBI man that I cannot remember the name of. (clearly I am very attached to him). Also, how hot was she? Dammit! Feed Sierra a few hambergers or something. o.O

I also totally teared up when Echo touched Brain wipe guy. heh. I need to look up some name. :/

I officially am really impressed by this show.

Is there a new ep next week or are we going to break for bit?

SERIOUSLY. This is exactly what me and the S.O. said. We also share your lack of concern for Mr Forgettable FBI man. Who we continue to call "Helo," because even after 12 eps we can't remember his name. :)

I do love that Joss has an eye for interesting, sweet, not-model-girl-next-door actresses. See icon. :D

I hope November slips into season 2. I hope there is a season 2!!

Ah, well. At least they went out with a bang if this was it. Great last two eps.

That's it for season 1. There will be an unaired ep in the DVD set being released in late July. Fox will give their thumbs up or down for a second season on Monday.

THIS Monday?

*crosses fingers*

And you, my dear? What did you think?

Although the last episode was really good, I still have mixed feelings about the series as a whole. I'd prefer a renewal of Firefly. I'd like to see where Dollhouse goes, but I'm not invested in it.

It won't let me invest deeply. The blank sex doll corporation will never be recipient of my empathy. It keeps trying to force the angle of Dollhouse as "grey", or worse a collective anti-hero. Has any woman had sex by her own choice, outside the influence of drugs or dolling, that's been portrayed as a positive experience? ...And stopping there. Sorry about the annoying politics, but it is my stumbling block.

*nods*

it's not Firefly. but I do like it.

I have no love of blank sex doll corporation, but I do find their complete amoralness kind of ... amusing. They are not really grey, yes. But knowing that at any moment they corporate heads that are playing with people's lives could find out that they, too, are in fact dolls is pretty... I don't know. I'll go with amusing again.

Has any woman had sex by her own choice I thought boss ladies affair with Victor was positive... if not 'healthy' even thought she ended it. It was sex with the women in complete control and fulfilling her needs.

Not that that makes it good or anything, but they did throw in that episode that kind of balanced things.

Also I liked that brain wipe guy made himself a best friend rather than a sexslave for his birthday. points for that. :D

Your opinions are hardly annoying. thank you for sharing them!

That was it for Dollhouse, I'm afraid. I really liked it; it grew on me. Fingers crossed it gets renewed, but I'm not hopeful...

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I really hope they go on. I mean, I'm prepared. Been through this too often...

still, *crosses fingers*

I know. Takes me back to the bad old days, when Firefly was cancelled... It makes me more wary about watching new series, as I tend to think, 'Should I bother? It's bound to get cancelled...' and then it does, just when I've grown to love whatever it is. *sobs* Mean old networks. I had to download Dollhouse specially as it hasn't actually been aired in England yet.

Okay someone really has to let me in on this show. I'm hearing it everywhere and I've no idea what it is!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

It's currently airing in the states and canada.
