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!

And then the season two promo pics came out, and it was gone. And in its place was -- not much hair at all! Where were my beloved perfect forties-style super-chic curls? What happened? A knife to my heart! A shadow in my soul! Like, Olivia is allowed to get a haircut and everything (Olivia ... could probably eat kittens without even killing them first and I would still support her 110%! It is serious, this love thing), but Adelle's hair! I genuinely spent like the first two episodes of the season feeling like she had committed this horrible betrayal against me. I didn't know how we'd ever make it out of this endless forest of betrayal & woe & strange newness & did I mention the loss of the miracle curls??
Then I remembered how she's Adelle DeWitt and, what the hell, she can do anything, and I will blindly follow her, mad with love. So we worked it out okay! And I clung to the few instances in which we got flashback hair. And then started giving the haircut actual Resonance & Importance In Terms Of Her Characterization, wherein in season one she was softer and a bit more feminine and idealistic and romantic, but then, GUESS WHAT! Her #1 workplace bff
and true true lovebetrays the hell out of her! This will not stand! Her heart is hardened! And so goes the hair, because she is going to look fierce and severe and pretty much like someone who, yes, can actually kill you with the amount of badassery contained in the lift of one of her perfect eyebrows. And just as she looks way more Wicked Queen Hardcore now, thus does her character arc go! Her life spirals into unparalleled suckitude and disorder and alcoholism! She responds by getting steadily scarier & icier! Somehow, somehow, Adelle Hair 2.0 complements this all perfectly.Maybe it was sort of like that scene in Buffy where Spike calls Buffy Goldilocks so she chops all her hair off. Maybe Dominic had a secret affinity for her hair that we never got to know about! Could any of us blame him?
The actual story is: Olivia had to get her hair cut for a movie she was in over the summer.
(... I can't believe I wrote actual paragraphs on that just now. That was an accident. Me and Adelle! It's just weird! Anyway. The fact that her hair had regained its former glory in the last episode made me happier than it rightly should have.)

and having a mad love affair with Dominic whenever he stopped by, and her hair was long again! Yay!Maybe it was sort of like that scene in Buffy where Spike calls Buffy Goldilocks so she chops all her hair off. Maybe Dominic had a secret affinity for her hair that we never got to know about! Could any of us blame him? I have a Thing for Spike's Thing for Buffy's hair, so I would approve of this. Let's make it fanon.

Hee! I like the Character Arc stuff better!
