Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...
...my plan for making Dollhouse awesome (inspired by
anythingbutgrey):
Topher's been totally freaked out about what's going on at Rossum, and when he finds out that they're using his device, he decides to take off, so that they can't force him to come up with anything else for them to misuse. As an attempt to make amends, he decides to restore Priya and help her bust out, too. Except that, of course, she won't go anywhere without Victor, so Topher has to restore him, too. Once out, our two Actives with their memories back decide the thing to do is try to take the dollhouses down, and they enlist a reluctant Topher (who has brought the chair along with him) to help.
So the rest of the show is Priya and Real!Victor (NAME, JOSS) getting imprinted with various skills to plan a takedown of Rossum. Topher keeps threatening to leave and having moral crises, Priya's dealing with the whole Nolen thing (ANGST ALERT), and Real!Victor's dealing with whatever baggage he brought along with him (I assume it's a lot. This is Joss, after all. I have two main theories, and hopefully they'll be confirmed or proven wrong soon. VICTOR-CENTRIC EPISODE NOW, PLEASE, JOSS).
Meanwhile, they form a tentative alliance with FBI agents played by Mark A. Shepperd and Jonathan Woodward (WHERE IS HE, JOSS? You know I've been waiting since you said you were working on a new show!) and the lady who played Loomis in S1. And they're all trying to catch Alpha, which means many guest-starring-s by Alan Tudyk. And Claire/Whiskey comes back and we get lots of intense scenes between her and Topher. And Bennett! Sometimes there's Bennett! Maybe she and Alpha team up or something! And maybe Boyd can show up now and then if he promises to be cool again and not boring. And if Adelle ever decides to start acting like Adelle again, she can come back, too.
And SMG should guest star. Often.
y/y?

I don't know what's going on Season Two, but whatever it is, I hate it already.
no subject
And yeah. I'm not pleased by...recent developments.

Y!

Clearly, Joss should hire me to write his shows for him.

Also I am very interested in your Victor theories. Share?
no subject
We know he was some form of military, right? So my thoughts on why he ended up in the dollhouse are that either A) he has PTSD and it was a way of wiping away all the trauma, or B) he stumbled upon something Rossum was involved in with the military and they needed him out of the way so they sent him there.
Thoughts?

Nice! I've always kind of gone along with A, which seems to be fandom's rough consensus at the moment and makes sense with how sincerely freaked out Victor seems to get in the scenes we've seen him flashback to his real memories, but B could work out too. Especially if they release him with presumably everything but the Rossum memories, and those start coming back piece by piece. And then Victor tries to do something a la Madeline's public reveal, and we all know where she ended up and OMG VICTOR NO. DO NOT FALL INTO THE HANDS OF SCARY BENNETT.

A seems to be the most likely, but B would be more fun, especially especially with your little idea there WHICH I LOVE SO HARD. NO VICTOR! STAY SAFE ALWAYS! YOU MUST GROW OLD WHILE KICKING ASS WITH SIERRA AND HAVING LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL BABIES AND GENERALLY BEING HAPPY. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

Victorrrrrrr. Sierraaaaaaaaaa. I would kill for a spinoff with those two and their Unconquerable Love. IT DEFIES EVERYTHING. INCLUDING WHETHER OR NOT THEY EVEN REMEMBER EACH OTHER.

IT DEFIES EVERYTHING. INCLUDING WHETHER OR NOT THEY EVEN REMEMBER EACH OTHER. And it seems to be growing in intensity! In their little scenes in the last two episodes, they totally had things for each other! When they were doctors making out! When she was the femme fatale! They don't forget each other at all anymore!
AND WHEN THE EVIL GUY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SENDING HER TO DUBAI, I WAS ALL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. YOU CANNOT BREAK UP THEIR UNCONQUERABLE LOVE!

I assume you've seen the new episodes--how are you feeling about the direction they're taking Adelle?
no subject
I've only seen Jonathan WOodward in Buffy and Firefly but my reactions to his characters were exactly the same:
"ZOMG, he is so, so cool and charming, please tell me he survives this episode, pleasepleaseplease....Meh."
I'm sooo behind on comments...
And I am TOTALLY on the same page with you re: Jonathan M. Woodward. I adore him and am very angry that he hasn't show up on Dollhouse thus far.
no subject
since it's a while after you posted this, i have to ask--what were your victor theories? (did i ever tell you my cracky crack crack, upset-fan theory about tohper and saunders being siblings, which i didn't want to happen but was nearly-sure would? : P)
