Oh, and I almost forgot....

And one last thing--I'm ticked off that Joss still won't tell us Victor's real name! We know the real names for all the other Actives we really care about--Caroline, Madeleine, Priya--with the exception of Whiskey/Claire/whoever (but I'm cool with that, because I think that fits her characterization at this point), but no Victor! At that one point (you know which one I'm talking about), I really thought Topher would say it. But alas. No name for me.

Mr. Whedon, it is absolutely essential to my fic-writing abilities that you tell me what his name is. Now.

Heh. As a fellow Victor fan, I raise my hand.

I'm pleased that I'm not the only one it's irking.

I've seen it on some fansites that his real name is Tim, but that could just be a VILE FABRICATION somebody invented and spread around. You never know.

eta: due apologies for my fickle editing, by the way. *shameface*

I hope it is a VILE FABRICATION, because that doesn't suit him in my head.

Also, you are awesome, and I've missed you.

No apologies. Not ever!

I too have been feeling inspired to write Victor/Sierra fic. Oh, Dollhouse.

I'm hoping we'll get it quite soon, if it isn't a plot point of some kind that it's missing--they brought up his flashbacks again, and that after Echo told him it was good to "take charge," so I have the feeling Echo will be accidentally (or not really :P) kicking up that hornet's nest :P

Oh, I hope so. I love the idea of Echo "kicking up that hornet's nest," as you say. She's definitely noticed that Victor and Sierra are the two who are most...evolved? Self-aware? What kind of phrase do I need to use here? I hope she does continue to play everyone the way she did this episode. It's the first time that I've gotten really into her. It's awesome.

But I desperately want a Victor-centric episode the way this one was a Sierra-centric one. I hope we get it this season, because if we don't, we won't get one at all, and I will cry.

That icon never fails to make me grin. So many people have it and whenever I see it, I just can't stop smiling!

iawtc--I think Echo is a necessary character, as far as providing impetus and forcing change, and all, but she's way more interesting in *that* role than she is as the only main character who has some backup. I like her plot-wise more than I do character-wise, which is interesting for me (I almost always like the main character best), but there's a way more awesome ensemble "backup" than Caroline/Echo. Plus, Caroline is whiny and self-righteous, so it's better to have her in small doses :P

I definitely think Echo is going to be pushing at Victor/Sierra to become more self-aware. They aren't supposed to be able to fall in love (which makes me bite their nails for what happens when The Dollhouse finds out about *that*), so Echo will probably take advantage of that.

*crosses her fingers* Victor-centric episode, definitely! The longer they hold out, the more I think it might be a Reveal (although, they are smoothing out into ensemble in s2, so maybe it's just getting away from Echo), or the root of some serious misjudgement. I sort of wish I could write fic for this fandom, but it just doesn't come at all--too many unanswered, pertinent points. But they do seem to be bringing Victor's past in more, so I hope that (especially with that Senator Wesley running around) we'll get more on that soon.

That icon scene was *awesome*. Now, Adelle and Topher are always awesome (alone or together), but they were hysterical, too :D

I feel like I repeated myself a lot in this message. *hides* Sorry!
