Giles ,'Same Time, Same Place'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
except I thought that statement referred to Ballard, not Boyd.
I can't find the exact cite, but the Wiki says:
Joss Whedon has stated that there is a reason that Boyd is in the Dollhouse and that later episodes/seasons will explore exactly why this morally strict ex-cop has agreed to work for such a morally shady corporation.
Which sounds like what I was thinking of, but I can't find where he said that.
I know (second-hand) most recently that there were comments made by Tahmoh at a convention and how he knew nothing about his own character to inform his acting choices and was frustrated by that, but I have a strong memory of an article or interview with possibly Joss saying that we wouldn't find out what Ballard's motivations for pursuing the dollhouse and what makes him tick until many moons/seasons later. It works for Boyd, though, very perfectly, so I could be misremembering, or it could have been said for both!
What?
Also, what? And again, what THAT was?
I'm sorry. Not all fit with what I thought I knew.
And also, there's a big, loving hug on this corner of the world for Topher. Poor boy.
And nice cameo by Eliza's boytoy, there.
Ah, thank you. I couldn't figure out why he looked familiar before.
I hate him. He's a shitty basketball player and a big ball of bitch on the court. I lost respect for Eliza when I found out she was dating him.
Seconding the Rick Fox hate. He skeeves me out, I'm ashamed he played for my school, and I'm disappointed in Eliza for dating him.
OK, on second viewing the only thing that makes no sense to me is the goodbye scene between Boyd and Saunders (that's the same scene that was in E1, right?). Was he triggering her, or was something in him hidden that got triggered when she did, or...? It doesn't make sense if he was never going to really leave, as it seems from the way things went down in the lab at the end.
I was thinking he changed his mind about leaving after he said goodbye.
I thought he left in order to lead in the troops. Which makes it even more confusing. And that she was punishing topher while also hindering resurrection of Caroline.
I skipped a few episodes (because not my show) but watched last night. One thing confused me: what was Boyd saying to Caroline in the big reveal scene? My memory was it was something about needing her in the doll house but that he'd take care of her because she's too special to risk, and that she could trust her life with him. Am I misremembering? Because otherwise I can't make sense of it.
