Dollhouse

Cutting for ep 111 reactions.



AHHHHH! Joss, I kinda hate you and I kinda love you. This show may finally be hitting its stride, y'all. The last two eps have kept me involved with minimal ick factor and last night's ep? Alan Tuddyk as Alpha? Genius. I was thinking that Alan is way too buff to be behaving like such a stoner, wimpy guy when they were in the shaft but I just chalked that up to Joss casting one of his Whedonverse alums (who can totally bring the comedy) in the role. I did NOT see him as Alpha coming at all, which I should have. Because yes, he is much too buff to be a stoner, wimpy guy.

Oh, Joss. Prospects are not good for Dollhouse, but this damned show FINALLY got my attention in a good way.

I was *totally* freaked out when I discovered Alan's character was Alpha. It was a truly *wtf* moment for Jim and I.

I was SO freaking surprised! And it was awesome. Loved it, I really did love that moment in the elevator with Alpha and Echo when they were leaving the dollhouse. I might have screamed a little...

Hee. I might have also squeaked. A little.

It was probably my favorite episode of the series. I only started suspecting that he was Alpha when he was that good with the computer, because if he'd really been stoned he wouldn't have been able to do all that stuff. That scene at the end with Echo... wow, just wow. I can't wait for next week's episode and I'm quite sad that it probably won't be renewed.

I am with you regarding how it was my favorite episode of the series. I had such high hopes for this show, and now they are finally starting to be realized. It really is too bad that it is likely not going to be renewed.

I can't wait to see what Echo and Alpha get up to next week....

Dude- my love for Alan Tudyk cannot be textually rendered. I got spoiled for him being Alpha- jesus, ages ago, so when I saw his name in the intro credits I actually flailed a bit.

Verily, I did enjoy this episode!
