Because Joss never casually killed anyone before?
Oh, of course he has. Ballard's death in the heat of battle with a bullet to the head just felt rather familiar is all.
My current takeaway from this is sweetly haunting, which is not really a place I expect Joss to leave me.
Yeah, it was a happier ending than I was expecting, even though I didn't really feel happy. "Sweetly haunting" is a good description.
Yeah, I wondered if that was a transmission error. Did that happen to West Coast people as well?
Yep. Weird.
Yeah. Alpha's reformation was alluded to in "Epitaph One," but we really didn't see it until now.
Was it? I do need to rewatch it.
then laughing on top of crying when Alpha asked if it was a bad time to request a favor.
Ooooh, now that line makes sense.
I was really hoping the bomb worked on Alpha... but then I remembered he was a serial killer before the dollhouse. Does he know that? Didn't Echo?
Was it? I do need to rewatch it.
Yep. Echo says they have Alpha to thank for Haven.
Ah! Interesting. At the time, we would have assumed that, like, he killed everyone there, so good for them.
I thought the abrupt end was an attempt to recreate the end to Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog. I have a vague memory that ended abruptly mid-note.
It did, but very intentionally, as it went from the song to a mournful last word. This felt like it was just cut off by accident, with no deliberate punch at the end.
Paul in Ballard is definitely the haunting part of haughtingly.
