Notes on Watching Dollhouse

1. OMG - Joss Whedon only knows like 15 people. Faith, Fred (doing a mighty Illyria impression in later shows), Wesley, Penny - will no one else take this man's calls?

2. The substitute Angel kills me. All the brood and 50% fewer facial expressions? JOSS. ILU. STOP THE MADNESS. Grab hold of the well-rounded hero character and roll with it. I'm begging.

3. I have the slightest teensy weensiest barely worth mentioning crush on Topher and by that I mean I want him to bear my geeky genius babies. Also - if there is not at least one community dedicated to Topher/Adelle 'cesty roleplay fics, I do not know fanpeoples. That wasn't even subtext - Joss just wrote that sick puppy right into the dialogue.

Fan baiting is never nice. Except when it really, really is.

4. I get it already. Military-industrial complex = bad. The horse died. The beatings can now stop. Find a new issue.

4, cont. Except not the serious Daddy issues you clearly already have. Boyd? The Boyd thing? Not even right. Just not. At all.

5. I just finished this afternoon. Re-watch commencing...about now.

I think it's first episode that really requires a willingness to ride. I started enjoying it after that. And my husband actually likes it, which is high praise as far as I'm concerned. He hates all television.

But I will say that I spent more than a few moments going "Oh Joss!" because it was like he'd saved up all the fucked-up shit he couldn't put into Buffy and Angel --- and then threw them all plus his Daddy issues into every script.

It makes for really bizarre scenes.
