Still so many questions!
So I did my freaking out about last night's finale of Dollhouse. Now's the time to be more practical.
Oh, yeah. There's spoilers.
1. I have decided that this is my ultimate fanwank: the vaccine to keep from being doll-ified also stops you from aging. What do we think?
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?
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?
4. An extension of that: how soon after the end of The Hollow Men did the big wipe take place? I know the flashforward at the end said, what, a year later?
5. My fanwank about Whiskey/Claire: they get Whiskey's body out, then try to put Claire back in. But not only is she deeply conflicted about who she really is, but she's also feeling betrayed by Boyd, so she asks to be taken out again so that she can be the messenger when everybody else leaves. Whiskey re-enters doll-state, and stays behind as the messenger, just as Claire asks.
6. I totally shipped Zone/Mag (I really like Zone, and Felicia's awesome as always)! And then Mag has a crush on Maurissa's character whose name I didn't catch! I'm gonna go with her being bi, as she never defines herself otherwise, so maybe one day she and Zone can have a thing.
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?
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.
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?
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.
I'm sure I have loads more questions, but I think this is a good place to start. Help me out, people!

oh okay. there was a lot of random shit that doesn't fit. i don't like it, but i also get that joss was working with the very little time he had left. but then i realize it's joss' fault anyway because he didn't get his shit together. cycles.
NINE THOUSAND WORDS IS A WONDERFUL AMOUNT OF WORDS. ngl, despite the finale fail, i think a LOT of wonderful, wonderful fic of all sorts can come out of it. and tbqh, i want to read paul/echo, and i know that makes me a horrible, sick, twisted person (and i actually ship paul/mellie sfm despite that terrifying sex scene i literally cannot talk about and that joss just vomited all his feminism on, all stinky and acidic) but i want it. i have finale issues.
i just want him to go do something awesome now. something with teh feminisms. i'll watch it, i promise. just cast everyone in dollhouse but eliza and we'll be great.

Yeah, he should have gotten everything together LONG AGO and then I'd be much more willing to forgive the continuity things.
YAY! I'm glad you think so!
I agree: there's tons of potential for fics. Honestly, a lot more than Firefly, and that fandom's still active, so I wonder if that means this one will be around for a while?
I think the right writer could sell Echo/Paul for me (and agreed about both the awesome and the terrifying and vomitous sex scene of Paul/Mellie) for me if they really played up the twistedness of it. I just felt like I was supposed to actually buy it when they hadn't taken the time to establish it yet.

the thing about the firefly fandom, however, is that that show was PERFECT and everyone loved it with good reason; this one will probably peter out and die after a while but i hope lots of good!fic comes out before that happens. fandom probably knew what to do with this show better than joss did because we're smart.
and YES re: echo/paul. there are few things i hate more than being presented a ship and being told i should ship them. SHOW IT TO ME. it's not hard. see: about twenty minutes into battlestar galactica i was already the shippiest fangirl in the world for my pilots and i will never ever EVER let them go. i'm a shipper, i don't need much convincing, but you need to SHOW IT TO ME, not just tell me about it. thanks. love, elyssa.
I like it when you say what I'm thinking so I don't have to.
