Dollhouse- Epitaph Two

[aisalynn]

TOPHER! *cries* I loved him! And I love him even more now! The arrogant brainiac who didn't care about other people and just saw them as plaything ended up sacrificing himself to save everyone else and erase the harm he had done. God, his story line was awesome. I really really wish I could have gotten seasons of it.

Tony and Priya! Have a son! And are still in love despite years spent apart and I just... I love them. And I don't know, I really liked the fact that Tony went all Tech-head, and that Priya hated it. Mostly because I think she was the one who started him on it, by allowing the fighting skills to be downloaded into his head years before. I wish there had been time to explore that.

Also, I loved the Tech-heads, it connects to my love for Cyberpunk stories.

Oh, Alpha. I LOVE YOU ALPHA. YOU ARE MADE OF SUCH AWESOMENESS. I really wish we got to see more of him, and how he developed into such awesomeness, and how his and Echo's relationship turned into a hugging one.

I totally shipped Mag and Zone, did in Epitaph One too. And that shippiness is not brought down by Mag's apparent attraction to the Asian chick. Zone was so thrown off by that so much that I am convinced he was really into Mag, and I'm choosing to believe that Mag is bixsexual. So, it will happen. If only in fanfiction. *cries*

I just don't know what to feel about Echo and Paul. How quickly their relationship developed this season kind of put me off of them, but then I started to get back into it in this episode and then BAM Paul's dead. I was sad after it happened-especially during Echo's breakdown--but I kept feeling that it wasn't the end of it, and I was right. I just don't know how to feel about the whole Paul living in Echo's head thing. I just don't.

This episode was great, but mostly it just made me sad. Like watching the movie Serenity, it just makes me think of all the potential Dollhouse had, and how it failed in so many ways, and how because of it was canceled, it didn't get to fully explore the ways in which it was so awesome. There are so many stories left in this universe, stories during the years between these last two episodes, stories from after this one, I'm even curious as to how Caroline fought against Rossum before she was turned into a Doll. Mostly I'm interested in everything that happened leading up to this episode. I love post-apocalypse stories, where people are huddled down in small groups in underground places, trying to survive. I would have enjoyed seasons of just that.

TOPHER! MY BABY! I'm still in mourning. And I totally agree about his arc. The two things I'm most going to miss are: A) Topher's KICK ASS ARC OF AWESOME and B) seeing what Enver does this week.

YES. Their relationship had gotten a little too sweet--they were taking this for granted--and this just added new levels and made the whole thing more tragic and beautiful. I loved it.

ALPHAALPHAALPHA!

You and I will just have to write Zone/Mag fic. And convince everyone to ship them.

Yeah, the whole Echo/Paul thing was just weird, from start to finish.

You voice my thoughts perfectly. That's one of my bullet-proof kinks, and I wanted MORE.

I'm going to be reading and writing loads and loads and loads of fic. Actually...I've done it already!
