"I'm not planning on presiding over the end of Western civilization. This is a one-time situation."

[marguerite_krux]

Dollhouse season 2 info.

What interests me:

#1. Dominic definitely will be back!
"Will Reed Diamond be back or is his character Dominic staying in the “attic”?
We’re committed to seeing him again, but we’re not going to pull him out of the attic right away. As is the case with a lot of other actors, they’re either busy or we can’t afford to have them as much as want. And we have a large cast to service anyway. So it won’t be right away..."

I'm tired of all my doomed ships. I was shipping DeWitt/Dominic so hard and then it turns out he's a spy and she puts him in the Attic! Okay, so Adama led a coup against Roslin and put her in the brig and that didn't stop them conducting an epic space romance, but this is on a totally different level of betrayal...and he's only going to appear in a few eps, so ugh!

#2. Epitaph One will be further explored!
"So we’re going to sort bring it into the larger world and we’re going to be dealing with some of the stuff that happens in Episode 13, the infamous unaired episode without making it impossible to watch for people who haven’t seen it..."

I'm kinda on the 'screw the viewers that haven't seen it, what about us loyal fans, eh? WRITE FOR US, DON'T WATER IT DOWN FOR NEWBIES' train. But I'm excited that it will have ramifications for the show, it's not a one-off thing they threw in 'coz they figured the show would be cancelled and they'd never have to pick up the threads!

#3. ADELLE BECOMES MORE AWESOME.
 "She may not be the boss of everyone but she’s definitely the scariest person in the room. And we get to see some of that Everybody else in the House is afraid of Adele. There’s a reason for that..."

I love scary!badass!Adelle like WHOA. Her delicate ladylike appearance contrasts with the ballbuster within. She doesn't need to have bulging muscles or tower over everyone in the room to intimidate and terrorize, I love it when she asserts her authority. She's become a little softer, a little more vulnerable as the show's gone on and while that's great, exploring different facets of her personality, it can be done to the point where she becomes irrelevant, and I'm glad they're not going down that road, I'm loving the idea of her getting to be all scary again, yay!

Dollhouse- ep 13 picspam.

 

-~--~--~--~-

SCENE 1

Adelle: sales woman extraordinaire.
One of the many things I love about her? How canny and manipulative she is. Adelle is an expert at spotting people's weaknesses and figuring out how to best exploit them

 

Client: Suppose that I just want someone to pretend that they are in love with me?

Adelle: Then you are out of luck.
Blunt, brutal, disappointing.

*dejectedface*

Adelle: If you engage an Active then he or she-

Client: She!

Adelle: She will see you and totally, romantically, chemically fall in utter and unexpected love with you.
She took away the hope he had, and then returned it a million times over by tantalizing him with this perfect fantasy. She's got him hooked now.

Adelle:You are a man who can have everything he wants. This isn’t just about what you want.

[Random cap of pretty tea service]

*smileyface* Lookit how contended he is! She's weaving this fantasy so effortlessly, it has him feeling all warm and fuzzy.

Adelle: This is about what you need.

The meeting with the client is more of a seduction than the actual assignments the Actives go on. The client knows what to expect, they're in control, they dictate all the parameters, how they want to interact with the Actives.

But here, in DeWitt's office, is where the real seduction takes place. Her languid voice, her poetic turn of phrase, her slow elegant movements as she serves him the tea he never asked for. I love that, 'You want this tea. This tea will fulfil all your dreams and hopes and desires. Take the tea. It will change your life.' Lol.

Adelle: An active doesn’t judge, doesn’t pretend. This will be the purest, most genuine human encounter of your life- and hers.


Adelle: It is a treasure. One I guarantee you will never, never forget.
Such a smooth talker! I'm totally buyin' what she's sellin', yo! She could convince me to sign myself up as an Active the way she talks!

-~--~--~--~-

SCENE 2:

 
Adelle: Is it as you’d imagined?


Topher: It’s actually weirder.


Topher: Which may be a first.


Adelle: This, obviously, is the programming center.


Topher: It’s great.



Topher: I love what you haven’t done with the place.
Aww, Adelle laughs at his lame joke! Early indications of her maternal instinct kicking in with Topher? Or just a general relaxed attitude? She seems rather at ease here, not tense and remote as usual.

Topher: I gave up a nest. I’m going t need a couple throw pillows, and a fridge-


Dominic: Should we order you a poster with a cat, maybe hanging off a tree?

Topher:  I like this guy already!

Dominic: It’s not a dorm room.

Adelle: Mr Dominic is our head of security

Dominic:  I’m here to make sure the house runs smoothly, no unstable elements.

Topher: So do you get me the fridge or do I talk to someone higher up?

*unamused face* This, of course, becomes Dominic's standard Topher-face. One where you just know he's mentally making a list of the most painful ways to kill a person and then adding extra pain just for Topher.

Adelle notices Dominic's head is about to explode from frustration- either that, or he's gonna rip Topher apart.
'Implement distraction protocols immediately!'

Adelle: Perhaps you’d like to see the imprinting process?

Lmao. That expression- 'come along, boys, let's not have bloodshed so early in the game! You have the rest of your days to irritate each other to the point of homicide, why don't we at least get through the first day without any nasty incidents, hmm?'

*cut for Topher being an arrogant smartass showoff and pissing the hell out of Dominic*

-~--~-
Montage of mutual antagonism and disdain.








-~--~-


Adelle: Mr Dominic is my eyes and ears.


Topher: Can I be your nose and throat?
That's so immature, but it made me laugh anyway. How can anyone ship these two? They're cute in the stern mother/impudent child way, y'know? It's adorable and I enjoy their scenes together, but I can't ship 'em! [No, I go for the abusive, traitorous guys like Dominic. *facepalm*]


Adelle: In matters of security, my assent is a formality, including the termination of unstable employees.


Topher: *meep*
Adelle: Mr Dominic?

Dominic: Ma’am?
'Give me permission to wipe the smile off this pain-in-the-ass geek's face, pretty please? Come ooon...'


Adelle: Get this man a refridgerator.
*DIES LAUGHING* I love it! She's got Topher squirming, thinking, 'Oh, crap, I angered the guy whose job description allows him to kill me if he feels like it, I'm so dead if she leaves me at his mercy', and then she does a 180 and grants his request!

 

Aww! She's such a cute conspiratorialist!

-~--~--~--~-

SCENE 3:

T: *looks sick*

Adelle: Mr Ambrose? What’s going on?

Ambrose: I’ve come here-

Adelle:How?

Topher: Delivered on a hard-drive

Ambrose: I’m here to inform you that this is a service we now provide.

Adelle: I’m sorry, I-

Ambrose: Upgrades. We now provide select clients with complete anatomy upgrades.

Adelle: You’re giving away our actives?

Ambrose: No, we’re not giving them away, we’re charging a lump nine-figure sum.

Adelle: This is wrong, you can’t do this.

Ambrose: I think you’ll find in the coming months, we can do whatever we want.

Adelle: What about the laws?

Ambrose: We’ve always been above the law, Adelle, only now we’re also writing it. this will all be legal within a year. Everyone who matters is either a client or one of ours.

Adelle: I was talking about the laws of humanity.

Ambrose: Laws of evolution, Adelle. Imagine what one man can achieve if he has no fear and can live forever.

Adelle: This is not what we set out to do.

Ambrose: It’s not what you set out to do, Adelle.

Adelle: You cannot have that body, Mr Ambrose. It belongs to another soul, and I will not sell these people off at any price.

Ambrose: Listen carefully. This is the time to choose whether you want to be someone who lives on in the epic, endless arc of history or a quickly discarded, decomposing vessel, enriching the soil. You both earned a place on the ark…

Ambrose: You can take this body if you want, I won’t fight. Right now I’m in ten others, having this conversation in ten other houses. If you do reclaim this body, though, we’ll know, and you’ll have made a choice. A defining choice. So, what do you say?

So, she said no and took back Victor's body, y/y? She made her choice and stood with her people against the corrupt management, I'm liking that idea. People always think she's a villain, 100%, pure evil through-and-through. It's so cool that she calls Ambrose out on how wrong it is to steal the Actives' bodies, no matter the consequences of speaking out against the party line. She's protecting her people, that's what matters, not nine-figure sums. Awesome!

-~--~--~--~-

 
SCENE 4:

Dominic:  I regret to inform you, ma’am, but we’ve had a security breach.
AHAHA! This one-liner is just brilliant, I gotta applaud for him. Go, Dominic! Not holding any hard feelings, I see!

Adelle: I sent for you, Mr Dominic.

Dominic: After everything we’ve been through, you think I’m still your faithful lapdog? After the attic? After what you did with my body?
Note: He states he is no longer 'still' her faithful lapdog- meaning, at one point, that's how he saw himself? Interesting. It's the sort of bitter self-deprecating thing people say when they're disgusted by how they acted because it now hurts their pride in hindsight.

Adelle: You were a spy. You got caught. What did you think would happen?
Heh. Adore her pissy tone. Just 'coz this guy could kill her don't mean she's gotta suck up to him and be all meek and apologetic, hell no, she'll keep slicing at him with her wit!

Dominic: Exactly what happened. Everywhere.


Adelle: So you’ve been briefed.
*clutches at head in despair* 
WHY IS THIS SCENE SO HOT? MY BRAIN IS WIRED WRONG, I SWEAR. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ROMANTIC OR SEXY, SO WHY DO I SEE IT THAT WAY? CRAZY DUDE IS THROTTLING HER, NOT SHIPPY AT ALL! DAMN YOU, BRAIN.

Dominic:  I saw Topher’s face. Almost worth the price of the ticket. And I took a walk outside.

Adelle: That wasn’t a good idea.

Dominic: I ran into a guy, a business guy- very nice suit, it’s three buttons again, who saw that coming?- guy asked me to help find his mommy, and did I want to play pretty princess with him?

Dominic:  Says he’s not going to like kindergarten ‘coz there’s boys. So I’m thinking, god, some twisted freak’s imprinted this poor guy, but no, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this sick sap soul was coming and just decided ‘I can be whoever I want’. That’s what this whole operation was about, right?



Dominic: Giving people what they want? No, no, no, no, what they need. Everybody needs to get away, to slip out of their lives…the thing they couldn’t do…the girl they couldn’t have…the pretty princess they never got to be…

Dominic:  I miss anything?



Adelle: Just the vodka, thank god.
OMG, THE LOVE. HEEE. This lunatic just manhandled and then shot at her, and she's so witty and acerbic, it's fantastic!

Dominic:  How’s it feel to end the world, Ms DeWitt?

Adelle:There may be a way to stop it.

Dominic:  Tech’s out there, you can’t make it go away.

Adelle: There’s a block, a defense against being imprinted.

Dominic: Topher has a cure?

Adelle: [disgusted sneer] Caroline has it.
Look at the way her lip curls! No love lost there, lol.

Dominic: Which one’s Caroline?

Heh. I love Dominic. His disdain towards the dolls has always been there, and his flippant, almost insulting way of inquiring about the former doll that could save the human race is amusing.
I also enjoy that they keep the 'Mr Dominic/Ms DeWitt' thing going. It's like, who cares that one of us stole the other person's body and imprisoned them, who cares that he went and held a gun on her, let's still respect our boundaries and act professional, lol.

-~--~--~--~-

SCENE 5:

 
Topher: There you are.


Adelle: I’m sorry. I was at circle.

 
Adelle: Have you had anything to eat today?


Topher:  No, no, no, no, no.


Topher: One phone call…that’s all it takes…an entire army in a single instant…millions of people programmed to kill anyone who’s not programmed to kill…and then the war has two sides, those who answered the phone and those who didn’t…


Topher:  ...don’t answer the phone, promise me you won’t pick up the phone.
I literally had chills down the spine at this moment when Topher revealed the new way humanity came up with destroying it. Like Terminator, only instead of building robots that are the enemy, now it's ordinary human beings who are taken over by the enemy. So horrifying.


Adelle: I promise, sweetheart…
This was the point I realized this wasn't the same Adelle I knew and loved. Or it was a part of her buried so deeply we rarely get the privilege of seeing it rise to the surface and infuse her interactions with so much additional warmth and love.


Adelle: I could read to you, would you like that?

 
Topher: …an entire army in a single instant…that’s all it takes? That’s brilliant! That’s sooo brilliant.


Topher: Why didn’t I think of that?
He really creeped me out with that line. It sounded so- sly, so malicious, almost. Ugh. Like this cunning destructive monster peered out of his eyes for a moment.


Topher: Did I think of that?

Topher:  Did I?


Topher:  Oh god. Oh my god.

Adelle: Shh. It’s alright, there, there, it’s okay.
There are no words for how much this scene tugged at my heartstrings. Topher's moment of lucidity when he realized he brought about the apocalypse, Adelle's expression of heartbreak at the burden he must bear and her almost frantic need to comfort him and soothe him and tell him it will all be alright...*sniffles*

 
Ominous pounding of imminent discovery.

 
Dollhouse: Oh, frak. Guys? GUYS, WE BEEN FOUND, PAANIIIC.
Moment of mad awesome.

She goes from weeping maternal figure to grim defender of their home. RAWR.

I love demonstrations of authority. She walks up, calls out, 'Space' and everyone scatters to make room for her. Victor hands over a rifle and she stands there, armed and looking badass.

He didn't even have to wait for an order- if the house is going down, there's no way Adelle's not going to be at the front lines, taking as many of the enemy as she can with her. Hell yeah!

 
-~--~--~--~-

SCENE 6:

Adelle: Come to save the innocent lambs?

C: They’re not lambs, DeWitt. I think I’ve mentioned that before.
Seriously? It's the end of the frakking world and she wants to quibble over how Adelle refers to the scant remnants of our species? That's what she thinks is a priority issue to address?

Adelle:What about the rest of us, Caroline? Are you going to save us, too, or have you come to kill us?

C: Can you give me a reason not to?

Adelle: I’m not going to plead with you. Your mind’s made up.
Dignity- this is how it's done. I don't think Adelle has anything to apologize for, STFU, Caroline.

C: Yes, it is.

FRAK YOU, CAROLINE. IF YOU KILL HER, YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. DEAD, YOU HEAR? I WILL BURN YOU IN EFFIGY, I WILL WRITE HATE!FICS WHICH INVOLVE YOUR HORRIBLE, GRUESOME, PAINFUL DEATH, ARE WE CLEAR?!

Comments

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

I didn't read any of this because I'm completely anti-spoiler, but I love Dollhouse!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Lol, I'm your exact opposite in that sense! I thrive on spoilers. Anyway, I'm glad I was careful about lj-cuts, sometimes I feel lazy and/or freak out that LJ's gonna wreck my post [I've spent countless hours reposting something that LJ spazzed out over once I added the cut, ugh] but then I worry about anonymous people getting spoiled and ruining their day. Now I have put a face to one of the people at risk and I am glad I took that extra time!

Where are you up to with DH? I've been watching sporadically- eps 1 to 5 on Foxtel, and then I d/l a few of the later ones, so it's been patchy and confusing but fun!

[kat-rowe.livejournal.com]

frack. Now I need to buy the DVDs. I didn't even know there was a second season in the offing. Last I'd heard it hadn't been renewed. I honestly only watched the show to the end of the season for Adelle and Topher who are just insanely layered individuals. That scene with her comforting him? If it's even half as emotional as it seems, it's the season 1 money-shot as far as I'm concerned. That ep looks better than everything else that happened in the other 12 eps combined (which had some real high-points).

Oh, yes, and can Caroline die horribly now?

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. At first I was so pissed that DH got a second season and TSCC was booted but now that I've gotten into it, I'm on my knees, praising TPTB for not being asses for a change.

I'm glad you like Topher, it's hard to find people that like him. He reminds me a lot of McKay from SGA- all arrogance and so intense and geeky it's off-putting to most people. I'd hate him if I thought his bluster and annoyingness was for real but when I see it as a thing he does kinda as a self-defense mechanism, it endears him to me, y'know? If he was genuinely an ass for no other reason than to piss people off, it'd bug me, but it's like he's compensating for some innate feelings of inferiority- despite being such a genius, maybe because people always pick on the geeks- that he has to snark at others around him all the time. Or something, IDK.

But I do like him, and seeing him fall apart in this ep and having Adelle pick up the pieces, omg...OMG. AMAZING. After the apocalypse and the world goes to hell in a handbasket because of him, he basically loses his mind and Adelle's the only one he trusts and the only one he'll calm down and take his meds from and I just wish we could see what led up to this point where there's all this trust and affection and reliance happening. Which is so unusual for me, I'm pretty much always about the ship and now here I am wanting to see a different kind of relationship explored further. But these characters...*squishes them*

ETA:
Oh, yes, and can Caroline die horribly now?
You win so much! *stabs her* I do not understand what people love about her! I quite like self-aware!Echo, if she got a larger part, then yay! An evolution of the basic doll personality- or lack thereof- would be cool, but unfortunately, from this ep, it looks like Caroline's back and in control again, gah. I hate those overly moralistic do-gooders that think they're right all the time and can walk around being all smug and judging everyone else. *grimaces*

[kat-rowe.livejournal.com]

Topher's arrogance and brash mannerisms are absolutely the defense-mechanism of a profoundly lonely and insecure man. If anyone needed any proof of that, they just had to look at his unauthorized imprint on Sierra. While Adelle used Victor to fill her need for physical as well as emotional intimacy, Topher turned Sierra into a totally platonic friend who probably would have slept with him, but that wasn't what he wanted from her, either. So sweet and sad *smushes Topher* And programming Whiskey to despise him was totally the act of a gentleman...

See, my take on ships is that a well-developed non-romantic relationship is frequently more satisfyiing than a lot of the one-dimensional or unrealistic romances you see on a lot of programs. Wendy/Middleman, Wendy/Lacey, Will/Magnus (even if i have since been swayed to the dark side and now passively ship them), Jim/Blair, Jack/Daniel, the great comrade-at-arms relationships you see on so much Sci Fi... just these beautiful, layered, complex-but-not-contrived emotional bonds between people who have no physical interest in each other but still love each other profoundly. To me, that is so much more meaningful than the "boy meets girl; boy nails girl" drivel that makes up a lot of the TV landscape.

Caroline was a twat. Wanting to do the right thing and make a difference is a great trait (i could list off about 50 characters I adore that trait in just off the top of my head if i had to), but Caroline had an attitude problem, never thought ahead, and picked her causes poorly. Plus she was a self-righteous bitch...

[lilsmiles86.livejournal.com]

Annie!!! I miss your crazy picspam posts... I so want to catch up on Dollhouse, but alas, I have zero time... I'm so sad... School is killing me and I'm a bad procrastinator... or am I a good procrastinator... Oh, whatever. I just wanted to say that I nearly killed myself laughing when I was looking at your caps. I keep gawking at the screen going OMFGLOL, it's pervy, tree-hugging, Juvie camp man from the Mentalist! XD Too funny... Anyway, I should go back to my work... sighs... *sulks off to write her paper...*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Hello, bb! *squishes* Too bad RL is taking you away from the fandom, DH started off rocky and worked its way up to being pretty frakking cool. Nowhere near the level of perfection that is Mentalist, of course, but lots of fun anyway.

OMG, I KNEW THAT GUY REMINDED ME OF SOMEONE! I KNEW HE WAS ON MENTALIST BUT I COULDN'T PLACE HIM!

Of course. The child molester guy, with that girl Jane made a daisy chain wreath for, riiight! Can't believe I missed that, argh!

Aww. *huggles* Good luck with the paper, hon. ^_^

[luxuria-oceanus.livejournal.com]

Well.

I obviously did not watch that episode (unaired one, right? Frak).

Oh yeah, you're Adelle-whipped, with good reason *nod nod*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Unaired ep, y/y.
Aka The Ep that Forced Me To Deviate From My Schedule and Run Off To The Library To D/L Immediately.

It'll come out on the dvd, so you'll get to see it eventually. *squishes* It's a great ep for the regulars, but I admit, I skipped a bunch of scenes with the random future!apocalypse!survivors. *yawns* It was like 'I don't care about them, where are my people?!'

Oh, Adelle. *sighs yearningly*

[luxuria-oceanus.livejournal.com]

Wow, you really are a fangirl of the hilarious kind XP

[sunny-serenity.livejournal.com]

EPIC PICSPAM IS EPIC!!!!!! ADELLE!FTMFW!!!!

Also, Adelle/Topher goes to that Oedipus place of creepy but if you add Dominic it goes to that Mah Brainz Jus Broke place. THE most dysfunctional OT3 that can ever be created! I kinda scared myself for a bit there but blame you for picspamming that scene. o___0 *flees*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Whee! Thank you! I could've devoted some time and space to other scenes, other people...but HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS SUPER AND AWESOME IN THIS WORLD, ADELLE! Nope, sharing of the limelight was to be had. *fangirls so hard*

LMAO. What be this crackery? *wipes away tears* That is the most screwed up OT3 imaginable! And hey! Your mind goes to these weird, freaky-deaky places and you wanna pin it on moi?! *iz flabbergasted*

No, no, no. Adelle and Topher? Mother/son dynamics. Topher/Dominic? Begrudging bromance in the making. [I blame it on the waking verse fics, it makes me think fanon is canon] Dominic/Adelle? SHIP. There. All clearly delineated. No scary creepy OT3's in sight. :P

[southerncharmfa.livejournal.com]

That scene between Topher and Adelle literally brought me to tears. It was such an amazing scene and they both did a beautiful job of it.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Best scene ever! If I hadn't been watching it at 2am in the morning and trying to keep quiet, I'd've been sobbing and wailing like a baby, it just hurt my heart. Well done, show, very well done.

[glam-geek.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Adelle and Topher. In fact, if it weren't for the two of them as well as Victor and Sierra the show would be down one fan. Although Boyd and Dr. Saunders are growing on me too. So, really kill off Caroline and Ballard and this show would be ridiculously awesome.

Adelle is just so wicked awesome and her ability to emotionally compartmentalize along side her empathetic ability is just a pleasure to see. Thanks for the picspam, it's wonderful to see her appreciated!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

I walked into the show, firmly convinced I'd love Adelle- I have a type, the restrained, reserved boss lady with deeply hidden tender feelings and issues- but Topher was a surprise! I'm glad I've found someone else who likes him, because he seems to get on a lot of people's nerves but I just want to squish him and ruffle his hair, lol.

I like Boyd, although he was better off as Echo's handler. One of my nitpicks is how quickly the show introduced change after change. Dominic being a traitor, Boyd leaving Echo to become the new head of security...*sighs*

Saunders is quite an interesting character. She's so quiet and meek most of the time and there's all this hidden stuff going on in the background. I feel quite attached to her now- not obsessing or anything, but I do like her. It's weird, though, if she knows that she's a doll and how that would affect one's personality, knowing you're not real. I didn't know dolls could be self-aware like that.

So, really kill off Caroline and Ballard and this show would be ridiculously awesome.

*high fives* RIGHT ON, ITA. I can't figure out who I hate more- I think Ballard 'coz he's been his own loathsome arrogant jackass self throughout the show whereas Caroline's popped up more infrequently [if that makes sense, lol] but they both irritate the hell out of me. UGH. I hate how Ballard thinks he's a good guy when he's going around beating people up and threatening lives and everything. I can't stand folks that are self-deluded.

At least Adelle knows she isn't an angel and doesn't claim to be. She has her own complex motives and kick-ass displays of authority and unexpected demonstrations of warmth. I love her so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed the picspam!

[its-elaine.livejournal.com]

I loved Adelle in Ep.13! The scene with her and Topher shows a new side of her that we never saw during the season. Lovely picspam :)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

That seems to be the general consensus! Hopefully the writers see how much we enjoyed this new portrayal of her character and give us more next season! Thanks, glad you liked the picspam. :D

[derevko-child.livejournal.com]

I love love love Adelle ever since episode 2 (when she opened the door to her office and she and Dominic strut like its no one's business...*points at icon*). She's so icy and scary with everybody but all vulnerable and lonely when she's alone. And episode 13 made me love her even MOAR.

Adelle notices Dominic's head is about to explode from frustration- either that, or he's gonna rip Topher apart.
'Implement distraction protocols immediately!'
LOL, I had the same thoughts.

I also enjoy that they keep the 'Mr Dominic/Ms DeWitt' thing going. It's like, who cares that one of us stole the other person's body and imprisoned them, who cares that he went and held a gun on her, let's still respect our boundaries and act professional, lol.
I think the reason why they try so hard to maintain that boundary is because if they stop, they'll end up jumping on each other. In my reality, DeWitt and Dominic made out after that scene and had some hawt sexy tiem on the couch. lulz.

I hate hate hate Caroline. I like Echo, but not Caroline. *seethes* And I refuse to believe that she killed Adelle. It would have been stupid for her-- Adelle's been protecting these people and Caroline would only alienate them (Topher, most especially if they need him in Safe Haven) if she killed her... So. Not dead.

And. Doomed ships! This is my fourth doomed ship. (Alias, Angel, BSG... now Dollhouse). Why is it that everybody keeps on dying? (Dominic's still alive, but he doesn't exist at the moment, so... I want Reed Diamond back :c)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Pretty pretty icon! I do adore how in control and commanding Adelle is. If she was just 100% biatch and making with the ballbusting and terrorizing for the hell of it and that was the extent of her character- well, I'd still like her, but those moments of vulnerability and sadness beneath that exterior make her so much more amazing. The emotional compartmentalization, whoa...oh, and hee, I just watched Echoes last night and it was bloody FANTASTIC. Ridiculously funny and I love it so much! It was the one ep I wanted to see the most and of course the one that was impossible to find a link to d/l. *pouts* I had to wait for Foxtel to air it, argh. But it's such a cool ep, I need the dvd so I can rewatch it!

In my reality, DeWitt and Dominic made out after that scene and had some hawt sexy tiem on the couch. lulz.

NO, REALLY. TRUE FACT. There was SO MUCH SEXUAL TENSION happening there, it had that whole 'I hate you but I still want to screw you' vibe going, the whole 'need to get you out of my system'. I really wish Dominic had never turned out to be the spy because my ship was so wonderful til that moment- the lady and her right hand man, but then we would never have gotten this scene so...*weighs it up* Awesome, if they make the most of Dominic in the few eps the actor can commit to and not make it a gratuitous cameo thing.

I like Echo, but not Caroline. *seethes*

See, that seems to be a common response among fans. I want the writers to recognize how much we hate the main character, damn it, but of course there'll be a group of fans going on about how terrific she is, ugh, so we probably can't rely on any changes. They have something really innovative to play with, the idea of a doll becoming self-aware [btw, I've never understood why Actives can't revert to their original identities in the House- I mean, I know it's more practical and much easier to keep control if they're in a passive state, but is there a real technological reason for it?] so why bother with the annoying arrogant idiot that is Caroline?

Yeah, I don't think Caroline would've killed her if only because she'll need to do that whole 'I am better than you, I shall rise above this and show you how noble and understanding I am, give thanks for my benevolence' rubbish. *gags* It'd make her look like the bad guy and she can't have that.

Aww, bb! *huggles* I know about doomed ships. *sighs* I was so bitter about BSG with Athena and Helo getting a happy ending [I think Tahmoh is a great actor but I HATE Helo with a passion and again here with Ballard] while Adama and Roslin have a tragic one. GRR. And apart from X-files, pretty much every other ship in every other fandom of mine has been shot down. *wibbles* That or the show gets canceled. I'm starting to think it's personal. *glares at the universe*

Yup, yup. In Needs, Topher said that you can't imprint someone with a full personality because the brain might explode or something to that effect. The Actives have to be "empty" so that they can imprint them without problems.

I was so bitter about BSG with Athena and Helo getting a happy ending [I think Tahmoh is a great actor but I HATE Helo with a passion and again here with Ballard] while Adama and Roslin have a tragic one.

I liked Helo, I hate Paul (except when he's walking around shirtless. lulz) I was actually expecting either Helo or Athena will die because they're the most normal couple (except for the fact that Athena's a cylon and all that jazz) on the show... and then Helo got shot and I all, NOOOOO, but then it turns out he's alive, so... lulz.

The one I was surprised the most (but was very pleased about) was Six/Gaius. They were the reason why I started watching BSG, and even though I drifted towards AR, I still found them interesting. Never mind that there was the TIgh/Six baby plot, but SIX/GAIUS, yay!

I so wanted Adama and Roslin to live happily ever after, and I cried buckets of tears when she died (and the "Reminds me of you..." line :'c ). I expected her to die, but I found myself satisfied with her end because at least she got to see humanity's new home.

so, i just spent the last several hours unsuccessfully searching for screencaps of the Adelle/Topher scene (the muses decided I need a new hug icon) and it suddenly occurs to me "Hey, I know someone who posted images of that scene!!!" ... mind if I gank one from you?

*hugs you and does hopeful puppy eyes*

I agree so completely with this picspam!
Topher's final scene with Adelle was just heartbreaking.
