If this was part of her and Boyd's plan to stop her from resurrecting Echo, why would Boyd have killed that guy when Echo was in the chair? <br /><br />However, the fact that Boyd "got to her" after she left was pretty clever, although I'm sort of annoyed with Boyd being the Big Bad. I'm going to trust Joss on this one and see how it plays out, though.Serena + Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676817343327371251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-56819373226023196492010-01-13T16:52:13.932-05:002010-01-13T16:52:13.932-05:00Fantastic episode, but the twist at the end can br...Fantastic episode, but the twist at the end can break it.

If that's true, she's out of sympathy, because Topher is no more responsible for her situation anymore than any other person at the dollhouse, and being annoying is no excuse to have your girlfriend shot in front of you.Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74203722230610366802010-01-12T18:44:34.713-05:002010-01-12T18:44:34.713-05:00Regarding Claire- I don't think she killed Ben...Regarding Claire- I don't think she killed Bennett because she was a sleeper, but rather to hurt Topher. Remember that she hates him, sees him as evil? That whole conversation back in "Vows" definitely makes me think the shooting was spiteful rather than part of Boyd's plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58584648450321572092010-01-11T22:13:01.872-05:002010-01-11T22:13:01.872-05:00JOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

It hasn't been that long since I watched Doctor Horrible, where I should have seen Penny coming, and now we had two characters happy with each other near the season finale IN A LUCY WHEADON SHOW, and I still didn't figure out I was about to have my heart hit with a sledgehammer for the 11th time ever since Jenny Calendar wound dead on Giles bed.

I said before that Summer Glau...Loved the episode!<br /><br />I said before that Summer Glau just needed more practice with expressive characters to become a very good actress, and it's showing. She was much better in this episode. And when Bennet died, my jaw litterally dropped.<br /><br />But as much as I loved the episode, I feel cheated that Boyd is the Big Bad. They'd better have a good explanation coming, or else everything will fall apart to me.<br /><br />That said, Boyd being the Big Bad just makes Claire's waiting for him, which we saw in Epitaph One, more poignant.Gustavo Brunettinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-35618792857276079582010-01-10T09:28:20.257-05:002010-01-10T09:28:20.257-05:00well. i loved the song that plays between bennet a...well. i loved the song that plays between bennet and topher!! <br /><br />so cute!<br /><br />in theend he made us love bennet and now we know why topher goes mad.<br /><br />the quote i love the most on this ep is the last one with boyd and caroline. mind-blowing.cheza28noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-84159459509518841822010-01-10T08:24:23.411-05:002010-01-10T08:24:23.411-05:00I love that quote
"I'm not a thief, i'...I love that quote<br />"I'm not a thief, i'm a terrorist" - Caroline is so much more interesting and twisted then the animal-loving college student she was in season 1 - my mind exploded when bennett died - i loved summer glau's acting, and i was crushed. this episode made me love Caroline and Bennett, and still feel sympathetic for both, even from that confusing clip we saw in the "Left Hand" that completely threw me of from what i thought of Caroline. My guess is that once her boyfriend died, Caroline became more driven and obsessed with taking down the dollhouse, refering to herself as "terrorist" rather than an "activist". <br />now that doesn't mean shes evil, because we always assume terrorism is to with genocide, it means that shes intending to take down the organisation by any means possible - assuming that she doesnt cross the death line. <br />My heart exploded when Bennett died :[ She & echo were my favourite characters - i wud have sed Boyd also, but now he doesnt exist to me anymore. This foreshadows Epitath One, because after Whiskey killed Bennett, Topher went into shock, which was one of the first signs of his madness - the killing was a bit like killing tara (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but i liked it better - the difference is willow can go and reek vengence, but Topher is powerful and powerless at the same time.I love that Topher set Ivy free.there used to be a little spark between Ivy and Topher, which is now more of a big brother little sister relationship. Ivy looks up to Topher, and Topher is telling her that she shouldn't make the same mistakes he did, by trusting the Dollhouse's power. I never thought i would like Topher, as much as i do now, because i hated him the whole of season 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18852579898772495852010-01-10T06:09:24.626-05:002010-01-10T06:09:24.626-05:00I looked up the play Clyde the 5th mentions toward...I looked up the play Clyde the 5th mentions towards the end – its a Czech play about android/clone type people who rebel against their creators. And Rossum alludes to the Czech word for reason/wisdom etc...<br /><br />Boyde and Clyde, huh? Kain and Abel all round... Caroline befriending Bennett is a lot like Boyde taking care of Echo. And Caroline never really betrayed Bennett...? And what about Echo and Boyde both referring to the man behind Rossum as ‘the snake’? Echo becoming a person in spa paradise is a lot like the fall from grace. <br />I never saw the end coming, but there were two moments when I thought I-didn’t-know-Boyde-was-that-kind-of-person (when he shot the room full of people, and when he killed that man with his bare hands). Maybe I haven’t been paying attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-26047082055886226742010-01-10T01:32:18.800-05:002010-01-10T01:32:18.800-05:00The CEO that Caroline met sounded just like Topher...The CEO that Caroline met sounded just like Topher.
