Nov. 19th, 2010 03:23 pmI'm watching Dollhouse- or, more specifically, I'm trying to watch Dollhouse, because apparently I've seen the first at least five episodes of the season two and I'm only realizing this as I start the episode- and, three thoughts:
1- It is damn eerie how often the media puts the names Madeline and Melanie together.
2- I know that I'm only watching this show for Super Fierce HBIC Adelle DeWitt, but goddamn, I hate so much of the other plots. I started the episode where Sierra is Priya before she, you know, GOT SOLD INTO SLAVERY BECAUSE SOME EPIC DOUCHEBAG IS DISGUSTING and it's like I want to wash my brain in bleach because I'm so grossed out by the world.
3- I have a ridiculously hard time remembering that dolls are not cylons.
ETA: OMG, now River is torturing Echo, wtf. This show needs so much more Adelle DeWitt in it.

Although I am so fiercely, insanely attached to this show at this point that I love pretty much everything about it. Like, 98% of what it chooses to be. I even reconciled myself to Paul/Echo and now sometimes have feelings of FONDNESS for them. It's straight up whack yo.

Really, that episode. My feelings for it is comparable to Belonging (Priya's ep).

Date: 2010-11-20 02:12 am (UTC)I'd go with everything when it comes to Dom. But frankly, if Dom was there, the whole Harding arc wouldn't have happened.
...and I almost said a spoiler.
ADELLE DEWITT IS QUEEN OF THE WORLD. But it's also a painful way of telling the audience that Echo was right about Adelle during 1x08-- that she wasn't as important as she thinks she is.
But then, you really don't want to mess around Adelle DeWitt. Especially if she has Dominic by her side.

Date: 2010-11-20 02:58 am (UTC)I was actually hoping Helo would have sexy chemistry with Dewitt, but alas, even though Tahmoh and Olivia are sexy individuals, they do not have sizzling tension. (Olivia and Reed, on the other hand...)

Cameron is torturing Echo
Add Tru and repeat
Anyway, much as I tend to love Jossverse, that show was disturbing on so many levels
that squick armor or industrial sized bottles of bleach are needed to get through it
Cylons=/=Dolls, gotta be the creep factor and the blind faith of the ignorant

Date: 2010-11-20 01:25 am (UTC)I so disliked Mellie, and I felt bad for disliking Mellie, and I was really indifferent towards Echo. Sierra/Victor are darling, though.

Date: 2010-11-20 02:00 am (UTC)But I love this show to bits, even the squicky parts. <3

and believable.
