Now to thoughts you all made me think about the meta story -- We all wear masks- how much do we really know anybody, even our children, our spouses , our parents - and what is every body hiding, and is our chosen way of interacting, our preference for the superficial - is that what makes it so easy to hide.
So if everyone is lying and hiding in the Dollhouse. Is there a truth.
My most paranoid lizard brain is saying maybe the Dollhouse is real....
But then I might have to believe in other conspiracies ...
so maybe I should watch House.
So the Actives = Actors
The Dollhouse = Fox (with all the other Dollhouses being other studios)
Topher = Joss
The customers = The audience
?
I can't believe that the meta theory is the foundation of the show, or the cornerstone, or even a building block. It was just one of the thumbnail sketches that went into developing the design.
I don't think it is the cornerstone -- the corner stone is more of what I see as the meta story -- what do we really know about that person next to us?
He's certainly been angry enough recently...
This episode made me cry. Topher and Sierra.
Also, I went to a Dollhouse convention in the UK at the weekend, which was fun considering it hasn't even aired here. Everybody was aheming it.
This episode made me cry. Topher and Sierra
Topher raping Sierra... Hey the whole consent issue is especially acute with Sierra.
Remember when the series first aired, Allyson predicted Topher would take part of his compensation in time with the dolls? And have one of the dolls channel Willow? I'd say at this point her prediction wins brownie points or a no-prize or something. Prediction one: dead on. Prediction two: like a millimeter from the bullseye.
Topher raping Sierra...
Do we know there was sex? Looked like buddy fun to me. Not saying there couldn't have been sex, but we don't know.
