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.

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?

If the mainframe was destroyed then Dominic probably is dead.

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

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.

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.

Because Joss never casually killed anyone before?

I'm not sure about these guys and remote triggers. I figured they could have used one and kept wiped Boyd alive too. Hmm. But then they would have had Rossum back now.

My current takeaway from this is sweetly haunting, which is not really a place I expect Joss to leave me. Definitely worth rewatching back to back with Epitaph 1 soon.

That's what we did last night, and I'm glad. So much to take in.

I guess we were supposed to think that Paul-in-Echo was poignant? I thought it was creepy!
