marguerite_kruxOMG. DOLLHOUSE FINALE. OMFG.
MY BRAIN BLEW UP INTO ITTY BITTY BITS AND I AM DAZED AND CONFUSED. WHAT HAPPENED?
One review summed it up as ‘boy, they really didn’t think they were getting renewed, huh?’ Which makes me laugh, because judging by how epically FUBAR that ep was, I’m inclined to agree, the writers probably didn’t think they’d ever have to deal with the fallout.
Adelle is awesome. She rocks hardcore! OMG, THE LOVE. *flails like a giddy fangirl*
Also? If Caroline killed Adelle, I’m hating on this biatch for the rest of my life. That’s a fact.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains…”
I have had Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in my possession for almost a week now and I still haven’t read it yet. I’m just enjoying the cover art and the premise too much right now. I keep brandishing it at people, ‘GUYS, JANE AUSTEN WITH ZOMBIES, ZOMG’ and they ask me how it is, which forces me to admit I haven’t started yet. Which they find odd since I can finish a book in less than a day. But the idea of this book is just so shiny and brilliant that I’m almost afraid to start it in case it doesn’t live up to my expectations…

Xena mini picspam:
Some fans refer to Ulysses as ‘Useless’. Lol. It does seem apt- this dude is a waste of oxygen, what a jackass. I liked the premise of this ep, I can see how Xena would be attracted to him, but I have strong, strong feelings about infidelity [when I see a character cheating on their partner, I want to stick pins in their eyes and twist til their brain’s scrambled] so the moment he was schmoozing all over Xena despite the existence of a wife, he was dead to me. Especially since said wife is played by Rachel Blakely. 
I’m so disappointed that her appearance on Xena was as the long-suffering wife of this pig, he doesn’t deserve her.
I wouldn’t have minded seeing her as an Amazon, she played the part well on TLW!
She only has a few lines as Penelope, but I’m impressed by her character- this queen managed to keep rule over her land for a decade on her own, yo. No small task considering the rude arrogant jerks she has to deal with, it’s a shame that on a show about women doing it for themselves that she needed him at all. I’d’ve loved an ending where both Xena and Penelope rejected him, heh.
Wonderful X/G moment.
Gabrielle: Promise me one thing?
Xena: What?
Gabrielle: You’ll follow your heart and don’t worry about me.
Xena: You’re part of my heart.
Gabrielle: Xena. Do you remember what you told me when Perdicus asked me to marry him? 
*Xena looks resigned*
Gabrielle: You said that seeing me happy would make you happy. I feel the same way.
Xena: Gabrielle, you’ve been so good for me. I don’t think I would’ve let myself feel the way I feel now about Ulysses if it wasn’t for you teaching me how to love.
Gabrielle: Did you say love?
Xena: Yeah, I guess I did.
Gabrielle: I guess we’ll be staying on a while in Ithaca.
THIS is love, okay? It’s wanting what’s best for the other person and standing by whatever decision they make no matter how it impacts you. Even if you think they might crash and burn, your job isn’t to be a know-it-all or killjoy, you don’t take away their choices because you think you know what’s best- you let them know you’ll be there for them whatever the outcome, either to cheer at their success or help pick up the pieces.

Date: 2009-07-27 12:42 am (UTC)I heard a theory somewhere that they need Topher to help out with the cure or something and Adelle's the only one he trusts and the only one who can calm him down, so she's still necessary...*wibbles* I like this theory. I like any theory that involves Adelle being alive. *nodnod*

Date: 2009-07-27 12:47 am (UTC)That's interesting. It did seem like Adelle was the only one who could get thru Topher. I have so many crazy theories in my head (and it's Joss so ANYTHING is possible, there are no limitations with him), but one of them is Topher creating a time machine of sorts so they can send somebody back and stop Dollhouse from becoming the big doom house of evaaal. Topher is the smartest one and anything that requires him will require Adelle by default. *nods* I LOVE THIS SHOW OMG.

Date: 2009-07-27 03:59 am (UTC)I WANT TO KILL YOU BITCH BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BECAUSE I'M BETTER sort of crap.
*eyeroll* No, really, that's exactly what I think will happen, you nailed it. Because tiresomely moral people like Caroline are always shoving how moralistic and noble they are down other people's throats, 'watch us, this is how decent people behave, try to follow my lead', UGH, GROSS. Makes me want to throttle them for being so condescending and arrogant about it.
Oooh, I likey that idea! Time Machine saves the day, woohoo! Because we can't have a show where the main character is stuck in the body of a little girl, where is the sex appeal, am I right? Horny teenage male demographic demands more flesh be shown than appropriate for an eight-year old, or however old that oddly familiar girl is. She did okay for such a complex role, but I wouldn't want her to be the star, lol

Date: 2009-07-23 03:43 am (UTC)ABOUT DOLLHOUSE!Yup, everyone loves Adelle XD and Topher. I don't particularly like Caroline. Don't dislike, but don't like like. Don't really get what the craze with her is.
XD TLW, the confusion just happens! And you do know that that confusion brought us together, right? RIGHT?! XD Heee!

Date: 2009-07-27 03:52 am (UTC)Caroline- she's interesting in an 'oh, there's plotty stuff happening with her, hmm' but nothing that keeps me glued to the screen, breathlessly waiting for more. I'd rather seem more of Dr Saunders/Whiskey than her, y'know?
I owe that confusion so much! *hugglesmishes you*

Date: 2009-07-30 07:12 pm (UTC)Baaaah. Caroline is more annoying than interesting. Okay, just a bit interesting (as it, what is it with that woman that everyone wants/likes/hates and why is she an exception to everything?!), but still, no much love there. I agree, Whiskey/Dr. Saunders beats her.
*SQUISH*

Date: 2009-07-27 04:07 am (UTC)I went into this knowing I'd love Adelle. I had to, I mean, morally ambiguous, sardonic,aloof boss lady? HELL YEAH! Plus, her wardrobe rocks. Echo's always in skanky costumes a lot of the time, Adelle gets this uber-chic, elegant style, mmm.
Do you have any ships in the show?
I really liked the idea of DeWitt/Dominic but there's the whole spy thing standing in their way...*sighs* I also liked the idea of Boydand the self-aware Echo [who is way cooler than Caroline, can we get rid of the original personality and substitute it with the increasingly intelligent doll?] but they seem to be going with Boyd/Saunders [who is sweet and adorable and I won't begrudge her this] and Caroline/Paul, ugh.
I LOVE THE ALBUM SO MUUUUCH, ZOMG! Thank you again and again! *squishes*
(no subject)
Date: 2009-07-27 07:29 pm (UTC)Oh, hells yes. She's by far the most interesting one in DH followed closely by Boyd. I luff boss!lady with issues. DeWitt's wardrobe kicks Echo's in a hot second.
As for ship, yet again the Firefly curse, no. I do know that most of them are boring IE: Caroline/Echo/Paul = *SNORE* Caroline/Echo is a bore but self-aware Echo is win. Why can't we get more of that? Caroline irritates me. Blech. I do like the Echo/Boyd father/daughter dynamic. Kinda reminds me of Buffy/Giles. Oh, Giles. ♥ him. Boyd/Saunders is Joss pulling stuff outta his ass and hypnotising people with YOU WILL LIKE EEEEEET!! It's craky but I can see how/why he's going there. Also, DeWitt/Dominic has that hate-you-so-much-revenge-sex-must-be-awesome vibe, I can buy into that. I was kinda interested in Paul/Adelle too... but that's prolly more to do with Tahmoh and Olivia's respective hawtness and them getting down and sweaty would be a pretty to grace the screens with, no? ...and damn, I need Adelle icons...
