I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Is Anthony the father of T? or is he some stray kid they picked up?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I think T is T (Jr) for Tony.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

that was kind of an abrupt ending. Fran Kranz just tweeted about the finale and signed it -christopher brink. *sniff*

I'm behind a little, but Alpha is one of the good guys now? And Paul just got shot down like a dog? Holy SHIT!!! Jossing us good, ain't he.

Ignoring disturbing Topher talk until I get to that point...oh well

So I've probably only watched 5 or 6 eps, and the last 3. And this one made me cry. I kept expecting it to end a la Angel. And that's a good thing. I liked(? wrong word, it appealed to the narrative) the world, I liked the desperation. But then, I sorely miss the Sarah Connor Chronicles. So, anyway.

I got to say, whatever Eliza's other shortcomings thespian-wise, she's got an incredible gift for acting violent rage leading into grief and/or self-loathing.

You should go back and watch the rest. The first half dozen were rocky at best (no thanks, Fux network), but the latter half of season one and pretty much all of season two have been very, very good, IMHO. My one problem is they could have gotten countless seasons out of what happened between the last episode and what happened in this one that I would have found fascinating. Alpha finding his inner peace would have been a BIG thread I'd like to know more about, and the evolution of Adelle and Topher and their relationship to each other (which got to be one of the most fascinating things about the series as is) also could have sustained an arc or two.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My god, what did and didn't happen between Paul and Echo and Priya and Victor and Adele and Topher. So much room.

But that's what fic's for, huh.

I had a reaver flash when the bus pulled up, and my heart fell. Victor was hawt.

I knew one of the guys would die, and this way is the less sad. So, gentle for Joss. They'll still be together--it will just always be masturbation.

Oh, Poor Topher. Poor, poor Topher. Never thought I'd think that. And poor Adele. What happened to Dominic?
