2. How long had Harding and Co. had Topher? Was this a recent thing, him getting nabbed? Or had they had him a while? Are we talking years or what?
I'm guessing, just because Caroline and Paul had a pretty simple plan to get him back, that Harding hadn't had Topher for years. Plus, Topher was crazy before, too, so the crazy-making would have taken more effect more quickly--but definitely long enough for him to get far less lucid, and to start working on a vaccine. At least a month, maybe a little longer?
3. How did Tony and Priya end up back in the dollhouse post-The Hollow Men and pre-Epitaph One? I can see Adelle and Topher being there and Echo and Ballard, too. But wouldn't Tony and Priya have taken off?
Well...they went back, though. So I think they made their choice to fight the fight (and Sierra was never going to leave Echo behind). Even if they didn't go straight back to the Dollhouse, though, it sounded (to someone who didn't pore over Epitaph One or discuss it much) as if the Dollhouse became an irony-is-wacky kind of safe haven from everything going on above ground.
7. Dominic is not dead. Which means he's been out there kicking ass and taking names, y/y? And sometimes dropping in at Safe Haven and having intense moments with Adelle?
There is no other possible explanation. Dominic is out there being a bitter resistance fighter who kills carrots and strawberries anyway, but Adelle's laid down the law about when he checks back in.
8. I demand that somebody write a long, character-intensive fic exploring Alpha's journey to becoming as awesomely good as he was awesomely evil (OMG HIS AWESOMENESS DID NOT DIMINISH AT ALL). So...get on that.
Lol, I read this and wandered off for a bit, and somehow Alpha => Adelle, so if I end up writing Adelle's pre-Dollhouse life/post-apocalypse transformation, I blame you. But thankfully, I can't write Alpha's kind of crazy/awesome, so I just have to sit back and appreciate it. (Also, as a side note, this fandom needs to get started on the Epic Fanfic thing now.)
9. Did it ever say how old T is? I know that Priya mentioned something about the last time Tony'd seen Safe Haven was three years before. But his gang could easily have stopped in seeking shelter or swinging in to protect the camp or something. We know that T doesn't know that Tony's his father, and it doesn't seem like Tony had been around him pretty much at all, so I'm guessing he took off shortly after T was born. Thoughts?
T looked about seven or so to me. Tony's probably been around a little--Priya was too hurt for the scabs not to have been picked over a couple of times over the years, and for her to keep seeing "proof" that Tony was pulled in by the tech. But, yeah, he must have officially left while T was still very young.
10. The whole scene in Epitaph One with Harding in Victor's body. When the hell was that supposed to take place? I have no idea.
A lot of Epitaph One seems retconned now, or at least in serious need of some PR fasttalk :P
