I didn't think they were women, I thought they were robots. But I did feel sorry for them.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Regardless of what they are playing, I am pretty much over Whedons putting actresses in boxes.

What is it with girls in boxes?
All the refrigerators were full up?

Pretty much, yes. That is exactly what it feels like.
I mean, the boxes are more visually interesting than refrigerators, but I am pretty sure that is not the improvement that *I* was hoping to see.
These are people that I think are talented and can treat women as people. Why do we keep going back to women in boxes? It's frustrating to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Who is, do you think? Cuz it ain't me either. I never want to see that again in my life.
Yeah, I am not usually offended or squicked by things, but I just couldn't believe what the fuck I was watching and did not understand why someone would make that and want people to watch it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but I just couldn't believe what the fuck I was watching and did not understand why someone would make that and want people to watch it.
I can't believe they're so tone deaf on the issue. It's that kind of shit that killed Dollhouse before it got a chance to get any audience traction.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Technically, I don't know if it's the "they", but the issues are still totally valid.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don't think they're making the statement they think they are, they being Zack Whedon and Melissa T.

And Anton King, the director of the video, also credited with the "story."
I think I can see what they were going for, but it was just so baffling to watch. The way it was presented, I think, was not critical enough of what we were seeing, which gave a sense of implicit complicity.
Okay, I just made up that last phrase because it sounded cool.

But it had a happy ending, see! The damaged doll gets a homeless man of her very own. I don't see why you guys are bitching.
