Dollhouse-shaped thoughts
And they are conflicted.
Let's get the obligatory flail out of the way, okay?
OMG ENVER! BEING AN ECCENTRIC PSYCHIATRIST/DOCTOR WHATEVER I DON'T EVEN KNOW BUT HE WAS SO WONDERFULLY NEUROTIC AND HE SAID SIERRA WAS NAUGHTY AND KNOWS IT AND THEN SHE GAVE HIM A SULTRY LOOK AND WAS A FEMME FATALE AND THEY WERE MAKING OUT WHEN THEY WERE DOCTORS AND DID I MENTION THAT ENVER IS A GENIUS?
Not enough Victor! Not enough Sierra! Not enough of them together!
Now that that's out of the way, we can get to the actual coherent stuff.
1. Is it just me or did Meet Jane Doe really, really not feel like Dollhouse? And it didn't feel connected to A Love Supreme at all? And neither of them really felt like the previous two Denisof-y episodes? And nothing's been as good as Belonging made me think it would be?
2. Am I seriously supposed to believe that Echo's all in love with Ballard and this is not creepy? I mean, sure, props to him for refusing to consummate it, but HE IS A CREEPER. I am not won over by this. And the big emotional moment in ALS is supposed to based on her feelings for him? DO NOT WANT.
3. ALPHA!!!! IN A CRAZY SUUUUUIT!!! Oh, Alan Tudyk. Never, ever stop being in everything. You are a god among men. Blow things up always.
4. Alpha = Bennett? Little bit? They're scary similar to me.
5. Topher waxing all depressed about how he was omg!betrayed by Bennett was hilarious. And also proved to me that he has woman issues. I'm convinced that he's probably a Nice Guy.
6. Topher was really the only thing I liked in Meet Jane Doe. I'm becoming more fond of him with every episode. I likes him a lot.
7. The fact that he was the one who was the one who figured out what Rossum was up to and was dedicated to them not being able to do it and was smart enough to design it on his own and then hide made my whole day. GO TOPHER. (Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snickfic, I share your love for him.)
8. I really, really do like what they're doing with Echo. I do not, however, like the whole "Echo is special zomg!!!1!" meme that's going on. There better be a reason she's special or I shall be greatly displeased.
9. I was super, super excited to see Patton Oswalt again, but he was not used nearly as well as he should have been. Anyone could have played that part, as opposed to his bit in MotS, which was epic.
10. I hate what they're doing to Adelle. Hate it. She's not felt Adelle-y to me lately, and I miss her Adelle-y-ness. I'm really attached to the whole "my bad guys are better than your bad guys" feel that we've had about the LA dollhouse so far. This was a departure from that, unless she's really just playing everyone, which she might well be. But her turn around? Felt too rushed to me to be genuine; I didn't believe it. I don't know; all this may or may not be good character development; I can't tell because I just dislike it so much.
11. When are we going to have a Victor-background episode in which I can FIND OUT HIS NAME?
12. Maurissa was in the episode again! I like her!
13. Did anybody else feel like they tried to cram too much stuff into these episodes? They felt rushed. CURSE YOU, FOX.
* Does anybody have a link to next week's promos? Pretty, pretty please?
* Also! I saw Invictus last night! For free! With my friend from South Africa! Which was super useful as she could explain things to me! And did! And have I ever mentioned my fondness for rugby? I hate sports in general, but I looove rugby, though I do not follow it and know little about it. And I may have flailed with joy when the All-Blacks in the movie did their war dance/cheer thing, even if I have major cultural appropriation objections to it and then I felt guilty. But the movie was good! And apparently the accents were "impeccable," says said friend. And Morgan Freeman did a scary-good Nelson Mandela imitation. And Matt Damon's so likable! And the supporting characters were excellently drawn--most of them security personnel, and they were fab. And Martha Jones' mama was in it! AND RUGBY.
* AND A TRAILER. GARY OLDMAN AND MILA KUNIS (!) IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC MOVIE! BLOWING THINGS UP! YES PLEASE! I mean, I like Denzel Washington a ton, but he's not usually enough to get me really worked up about a movie on his own. The rest of the cast, though? YES PLEASE.
* My parents and I sat down and made a budget for me today, as I will shortly be moving out on my own (more on this anon). It was rather hellish, and the conclusion I arrived at is that life is stupid.
* I think I've finally gotten all my notifications? So I can catch up on replies soon? Hopefully? Be on the lookout for them!
