Comments on: What did you think of Dollhouse episodes 7 and 8? http://www.dollverse.com/2009/12/what-did-you-think-of-dollhouse-episodes-7-and-8/ Opening Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:08:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: XENO http://www.dollverse.com/2009/12/what-did-you-think-of-dollhouse-episodes-7-and-8/comment-page-1/#comment-2551 XENO Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:56:06 +0000 http://www.dollverse.com/?p=331#comment-2551 I have a theory of why alot of ppl feel this eps were "rushed". It seems to me that the only reason these eps are very arcy, is that these are the five seasons. Weird, huh? At the end of the left hand it seemed like a perfect way to end a season, and meet jane doe seems like a perfect season opener. The love supreme is suppose to be what happens in between. I wish the show could of progressed as it was planned, it would of helped the narrative better (dont get me wrong love the eps though...Long live Echo and Dollhouse) I have a theory of why alot of ppl feel this eps were “rushed”.

Ok so this show has been on and off for so many episodes it's unreal. Last week I was ready to write it off after the dull, poorly acted (with the exception of a few especially Victor who is one of the best actors on the show if not the best), plodding along of episodes 5 & 6. Then episodes 7 & 8 happen. Wow would be an understatement. I'm not ashamed to say this, I cried...hard! I mean it may be because I've had 6 hours sleep and recovering from a night of alcohol abuse, but damn. So many good points I don't know where to begin, so I'm just gonna name the 3 most prominent: 1. Alpha yet again stole the show. I loved his entrance into Dewitt's office, "Try the Franklin it has a terrific pasta bar. Also you're almost out of paper." He's just so beautifully creepy and funny all at the same time. 2. The script was so well written this time props to Jenny DeArmitt. There was such a perfect balance of comic banter, action, horror and emotion. 3. Also the direction was spot on (David Straiton). The timing, edits, almost horror like movements of the camera as it sped up towards Echo solitary cell, the explosion on the helipad and Alpha's brutal throat cutting at the start of "Love Supreme" to name but a few. These are the things good TV is made of. Whilst unfortunately the show has already received the death toll from Fox (quelle suprise), I can only hope that the rest will be as good as this and we will get some semblance of closer. OMG!

He was mentioned in Epitaph One as the person who develops and runs the tech at Haven that stops remote imprinting. He's got things to do yet. I was wondering whether having Paul's personality helps to give him a less serial-killery mix. Empathy anyone? They can’t kill Alpha off.
