"I like the essence idea, because it fits that whole 'can you wipe away a soul' thing, but I also...kind of really dislike it at the same time, because it feels too some-people-are-just-born-bad-or-good and that feels really....simplified."
I think that was the point of Susan's character in Briar Rose. Both Susan and Alpha have a thing for knives because they makes them "feel safe." The point of Susan's story was that she could grow into a strong, kind woman. Alpha (gr...I forgot his real name, I know there were 3 lol) was already an adult who committed a crime when he was wiped.
" ...but the idea that someone would sign away five years just for the Dollhouse to take away a specific memory is really interesting. "
I thought Caroline wanted her memory wiped of how her boyfriend died.
"I cannot wait for the Topher/Claire arc next season."
Me too! I'm psyched for next season!
"(Ooooh. That would definitely explain a lot - the Dollhouse doesn't seem all that altruistic as a business, but I could definitely see Topher doing something like that.)"
Ever since Topher made a comment in the episode Echoes about how people's biology reacts differently to chemicals like drugs and how if he tried heroin once he would be a complete junkie, I thought Topher either was a junkie or had a junkie as a parent. But Topher seems too nerdy to be into drugs....hm...
