Dollhouse 2x01

OK, my reaction to this episode... mostly consisted of OMGSQUEE and WAIT... WHAT?!, for a variety of reasons...



1. JAMIE BAMBER. (I don't think I need to explain this one...)

2. O-k, Topher sleeps in the server room. Actually, like much of this show, that makes a weird kind of sense.

3. Um. Topher is far more messed up than even I thought. And yet, still loveable.

4. Whiskey/Claire/whatever you want to call her... yeah, I don't know what's going on there, but that, too, is hugely messed up.

5. ...I think I ship Boyd/Claire. WHAT THE HELL, SELF?

6. Hm, I quite like Olivia Williams' new hairstyle.

7. Oh, Paul. Just... um... yeah. Actually, never mind. (Is it me, or has Tahmoh Penikett carried over a lot of Helo into Paul? Because they are VERY similar... then again, I still call Paul 'Agent Helo' sometimes, so I can't really complain.)

8. Oh, Ivy does still work there. W/e.

9. Basically, EVERYONE in that Dollhouse is severely messed up. To the point where the Actives are probably the most normal (except Whiskey, obviously). Seriously - Adelle, Topher, Boyd, Paul - all got major issues. BUT I STILL LOVE THEM. (maybe I love them BECAUSE of their issues. hmmm.)

10. Uh, what was with the random Imprinted!Sierra at the beginning? And why'd Claire/Whiskey put those rats in Topher's lab? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

11. HOLY SHIT, RANDOM!UNEXPECTED!ALEXIS DENISOF... looking rather attractive in that suit, I have to say...

Also, this has nothing to do with the episode... but I've come to the conclusion that if Paul had a daemon, it'd be a terrier. Also, Boyd's is a German Shepherd, Topher's may or may not be some kind of monkey, and I'm leaning towards a nightingale for Adelle. (Look, deciding what daemons characters would have is... just this thing I do. Helps me understand them better.)

Adele is like...a spider. Totally a spider. A really deadly one. XD

OMG, why didn't I think of that...

probably a Black Widow, tbh. It fits.

That's actually what I was thinking...

I think random Imprinted!Sierra at the beginning was sort of a... "hey, so although everything's gone different, the Dollhouse is currently still sending actives out on normal missions. So far. We haven't gotten to the everything's-falling-apart future yet." sort of thing. (Honestly, I am so confused about timeline, and I have a very strong feeling I missed an episode somewhere in first season because things sort of abruptly stopped making sense, even though I checked the episodes and I allegedly haven't...) I mean, this episode was... weird, Active-wise, and it would have been pretty understandable if viewers had gotten confused about what the Dollhouse was or was not still doing.
