Man, it hurts watching "Topher" gesturing at the blood-spattered screen repeatedly.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

mnhh hngh wah hah wah! The suspense with Topher is killing me.
Later, I was getting ready to cry some more in anticipation of Topher pain.
And then later later I laughed and laughed over "I love you guys".
And there goes the buddy cop series with Ballard and Boyd.

Amy Acker continues to amaze me. She seems so male, but not a charicature of a man.
Oh Tahmoh, bet you never thought you'd be good for nothing more than braindead jokes and comic relief, huh?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Whoa!
Nice turn of the tables on Boyd or whoever he was!
But, did they save the world?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
But, did they save the world?
Well ... there IS one more episode to go, so I'm thinking not as much as they think.
It's like ... you know how when a series finale happens, and you're generally OK with it, but you find yourself thinking, "Yeah. No way is it THAT easy." But, show's over, so there's not much use in wondering what's next? (Except in fan fic, where inevitably the next chapter entails sex with Spike.)
That's what this episode felt like. (Minus the sex with Spike part.) This felt like that sort of series finale, except that there's actually a whole other chapter left. So ... yeah!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
there's still plenty of time for sex with spike.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
You guys saw the "...ten years later," right? I also got a promo for next week so yeah, not so much with the world saving. But what a great end for Boyd. "I try to be my best" I almost couldn't look. I'm glad they outed him last week so I had some time to process.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But, did they save the world?
Did you not see the "Ten Years Later" bit at the end? Not so much.
Loved the return of Victor-as-Topher. And aaargh, so much cringiness in the scenes with Topher and Boyd! "Thank you for confiding in me, Topher." Aaaaaaahhhh.
Amy Acker is so great. And strangely hot in a suit.
I kind of liked that Caroline was special because of her UNIQUE SPINAL FLUID. It's so ridiculous yet it works. Enough.
Boyd's "I love you guys" was awesome. I'm really not sure I understand all he was doing, though. He just wanted some dudes to hang out with after the thoughtpocalypse? That he engineered? Or he assumed his underlings were going to engineer anyway, so he thought he'd gather some good company? Also, Clyde seemed like a decent guy in the Attic. I suppose that was only because he'd been in the Attic a while.
Boyd sure got his just deserts. But making him blow himself and Rossum up? Daaaaaamn.
Poor Mellie. I saw that coming as soon as she started coming to.
There were some pretty cool fight scenes in this one.
Was he imprinted with Victor?
He was just in Doll state.
