'The Killer In Me'


Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers  

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.

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*

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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?

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

If the mainframe was destroyed then Dominic probably is dead.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And Paul just got shot down like a dog? Holy SHIT!!! Jossing us good, ain't he.

Someone's been watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

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.

Yeah, that scene actually made me buy the Echo/Paul thing.

They'll still be together--it will just always be masturbation.

Ha, yeah, that's what I was thinking as well.

Oh, Poor Topher. Poor, poor Topher. Never thought I'd think that.

I really didn't want him to die, but if he was going to, that was the best way to do it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think Topher could have designd a remote trigger if he'd wanted to.

Oh, totally. But I feel like Topher had been wanting to kill himself for years for what he'd done, but he kept himself alive and powered through insanity just so he could undo it.
