I Feel Like A Nerd (But I'm Glad That I Did It)
I canceled plans with real, human people (I sometimes refer to them as friends because I realized, at 8:56, that there was a new episode of Dollhouse on tonight. During the opening credits I texted one of my friends to tell her that I changed my mind and wasn't going out. By the second commercial break the "Oh my God, what have I done am I really this lame?" moment hit me. And it's not like we can just go out tomorrow night: I'm leaving tomorrow morning and driving back to school. They're leaving later this week. I won't see these people again until May.
But you know what?
It was totally worth it.
Dollhouse rocked my socks in a way that only Joss and his wonderfully evil and brilliant mind can. For a long time, I thought that I was only watching the show because it was Whedon, and my loyalty to the great Jossian god required me to do my part. But tonight I realized that I'm really going to miss it now that it's leaving, and that I really, really really did like it. Not as much as Terminator, but still...
The newest episode (I don't know the name of it. Sorry!) just completely blew me away. On the one hand, it reminded me that Eliza Dushku can't act, or, rather, that she can, but not all the time. It's like some days people forget to flip on the "decent actress switch." That being said, I still think that Season 3 of Buffy is the best ever because of Faith, I own all of Tru Calling on DVD, and I'll watch anything that she's in because she's just so darn pretty. I did like the Caroline/Bennet friendship (hair-washing scene = hotness) but this episode didn't give me the "OMG I HEART ECHO!!" feeling that the last few did.
But back to Bennet. I love her. I love Summer Glau. I will watch anything with Summer Glau in it, and not just because she's pretty, but because she seems to rock at everything. And Bennet reminds me of several of my RL friends, and I just love that so much (but hope that I'm not Caroline in that scenario... hmm, worrisome.) Bennet/Topher=OTP. Just so utterly adorkable. I cried at the end. Just... Topher! I've loved him from Ep.1, and Epitaph One made me cry and now that we know why... I just want to hug him.
But on a happier note: Mellie! I love Mellie. Always have. I was so sad at the end of S1 when Mellie wasn't her original personality, and now that she's back I'm just very squealy. Even though she wasn't quite the same Mellie I remembered (always so... clingy? I don't think that's the right word) it's still nice to see her back. Paul and Echo looks like a no-go relationship from here until the end (I'm shipping Echo/Alpha-who-is-technically-Paul) so maybe Doll!Paul and Mellie will hook up. One can hope.
Let's see... squealage left to squeal...
Ivy! I love Ivy (i love lots of things, can you tell?) Topher's little speech to her made my heart melt a little bit. Everyone called me crazy for crushing on Topher from the beginning but he does have a heart! I used to ship these two until Bennet came along, but now I just hope that Ivy gets out, heads up some Apocalyptic Resistance Factions or something and gets to be awesome. I would totally watch a show called Ivy Being Awesome.
And then there's Saunders and Boyd. I cannot hate any character played by Amy Acker; I think she's one of the most wonderful and underrated actresses in the world, and she is simply amazing as Whiskey/Saunders. She killed Bennet, and had it been anyone else, I would be hating that character right about now, but it was Saunders! Working for Boyd! Boyd is the big scary Rossum dude! Boyd! Big, huggy, Papa Bear, I-Want-Him-To-Adopt-Me Boyd! And it's still pretty freaking awesome.
*sigh* That's it for my rambly, nonsensical review-squeeage-thingy. I was going to write a much longer, more interesting entry (my (parents') house is haunted. Of that I am now 100% sure) but then I saw Dollhouse and I got excited and now I'm tired. It's not even 1. I feel like a little old lady.
g'night.
