Dollhouse reaction

starsthatshineOMG OMG OMG. SO MUCH TO SAY I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN AND I'LL PROBABLY FORGET HALF.
So Dominic was a mole, but not necessarily the mole, right? Since he served to "protect" the Dollhouse and not bring it out as seems to be Alpha's primary objective. So there's still one out there? Who do you think it is? Personally, I sort of loved that Topher thought Boyd was the mole and was all like "I won't tell anyone if you went out for a smoke or something". It was absolutely hilarious and I don't know... again, ultimate awesome.
It sort of makes me sad to see that Dominic was wiped because you know... Adelle/Dominic totally pwned and so did Dominic/Topher and Dominic/Echo - damn me for being such a multishipping whore (but I love it!). They certainly lost a colourful character but I'm sure they'll bring him back to some extent sooner or later, or at least that's what I hope.
How sad was it that Echo got a new Handler? I felt so incredibly sad for Boyd, when he watched her get her new imprint, but I can't seem to figure out whether or not she was looking at him during the process or if it was just filmed that way? Boyd/Echo was epic, I'll be sad if it goes away.
Also Victor being Adelle's "vacation"? Really surprising but I guess that in that level of business, you sort of need to take a break from everything and she has sort of imprinted herself - in a way - to believing in the "purpose" of the Dollhouse, suggesting that not even she really knows what the Dollhouse is for, since she constantly repeats the whole 'we make people feel better'. I wonder how many bosses there are over her head, constantly looking over her to watch her make a mistake.
There's so much more I could talk about but for now, I'll leave it at that. What did you guys think?

Date: 2009-04-11 08:47 am (UTC)There is definitely another mole, the one that's been sending Paul the messages via imprints. But it makes me wonder who this could be. Dominic's out, and Adelle wasn't there so she's out (unless she knew beforehand but idk how that could've worked) so that leaves either Ivy, the girl that works with/beside Topher or Dr. Saunders. Or someone else. IDK. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES OMG.
Because they didn't kill him I'm sure they'll bring him back. How and why, I have no clue, but this is Joss and he does bring characters back when needed. I admit I'll miss him being all antagonistic towards Echo and having that whole demeanor about him.
Echo was totes looking at Boyd when she said that in the end. I refuse to believe anything else.
I feel very sad for Adelle, because working at the Dollhouse constantly being watched and judged, having to do such a difficult job in a highly secured organization can be pretty damn constricting of her own freewill. So letting go of that release, even if it's just a weekend vacation while becoming a "client" for a "doll". I find that reveal very interesting, kinda disturbing but also kinda sweet in that twisted way. She found herself to relax, to loosen up, let herself go. But at the end of the day she had to go back to that life, and hearing her talk about wanting to have no consequences, freedom, living how she wanted where she wanted and who she wanted to be with -- it was all a dream.
It's very psychological, and I feel bad for her because of the weight she's carrying.
OMG THIS SHOW. OMG.

It's very sad that Echo got a new handler and OMG how she kept looking at Boyd during the new imprinting thing. I think that was the goal of that.
