Dollhouse Post!

HOW IS ENVER GJOKAJ NOT AN INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS SUPERSTAR? He is ridiculous. He's an acting god. I thought he was amazing as Terry, but then he became Kiki and it was WONDERFUL. I LOVE HIM. I love his dancing and his "it's wicked filthy" and just everything. Oh, and clinging to Paul! "Why did you ever leave me?" "You got a problem?" Eliza had trouble matching up, but it wasn't as bad as it could've been. This was the best episode of the season so far for me.

Over the last couple of episodes I've definitely been coming to like Paul a lot more, and I really liked him in this one. It's like he was in his element, being the protector and investigator and not having to make the big moral decisions. He got to be funny and intimidating, but not creepy or self-righteous, and I liked seeing that side of him. Also, Tahmoh was fucking hot tonight.

I think the bit with the brains was them going TOPHER IS NOT A PSYCHOPATH. I think it's important to note that Topher is a scientist first, but he does have ethics and morals and empathy. If he didn't, I don't think he'd be as good at his job as he is.

Also, need more Boyd. His "Ah" in response to Topher revealing that Victor was now a serial killer on the loose was one of the best moments of the episode.

I need to do this outside the cut: If you are not watching Dollhouse because you have trouble connecting, or have trouble accepting the premise, or whatever, I beg you to reconsider. You are missing out on what might be the start of an incredible fucking career for Enver Gjokaj, and on seeing some of the best and most diverse acting, week-in, week-out, of your life.

More Dollhouse:

Dichen interview

Enver talks about 'Belle Chose'. "It was like the best DVD extra EVER." LOL

Eliza talks saving 'Dollhouse'.

Official Twitter

'Cabin in the Woods' pushed back to 2011 to go 3D.

Tonight I also watched 'Flash Forward'. On this, baldie_troll and I are agreed: this show is stupid. They really freed a Nazi?! AUGH.









You suck! Trying to hit a girl?

So, I got lucky and finished watching Dollhouse last night before our power went out because there was an accident with a car crashing right into the power source of out neighborhood apparently. It literally went out right when Dollhouse ended. And stayed off until this morning.

But OMG. Last night's episode was, in my opinion, the best episode of the series so far. It's crazy how they can do a remote wipe when an Active is nowhere near anything electronic. Or at lest, not directly. But I loved how Topher accidentally switched them! The dancing by Victor was SPECTACULAR. And his whole "You were gonna hit a girl?!" was such awesome line delivery.

Creepy serial guy was CREEPY. My cousin and I talk about Dollhouse all the time cause she's a huge Joss fan, we always talk about how Eliza is sort of a hit and miss actress. I love her to death, and when she's good she's REALLY GOOD, but sometimes she falls short. But I did enjoy her a lot in last night's episode, but you're right that Enver did a better job when they switched. I warmed up to Paul a lot more last night too. But I'm still not a big fan of him yet. I really hope the show gets the opportunity to make me one.

LOL way to go with the timing.

I think it was the best of this season, but I'm still too huge a fan of "Epitaph One" to say anything beats that - and I also love "A Spy in the House of Love", "Briar Rose" and "Echoes", too. Such amazing episodes.

Kiki!Victor was one of my favourite things on TV this season so far. Epic! His "I'm Kiki" with the little non-existant-hair-flip was also perfect.

I still think that, with Eliza, it's more a problem of her Eliza-ness coming through in characters where it isn't appropriate.

Kiki!Victor? Fantastic! Clinging to Paul was just so cute! I don't think Eliza could have pulled that off so well. I still don't like Ballard. He is way to wrapped up with Caroline. At least Boyd is able to distance himself.

But you are right, Tahmoh was fucking hot (and I'm not the hugest fan of the guy). Something about carrying around that laptop thing, at least for me ;)

ENVER GJOKAJ: WINNER AT ACTING. I'm still not Paul's biggest fan, but I liked him way more in this episode.

Guh, I am a big Tahmoh fan. He's gorgeous.

HOW IS ENVER GJOKAJ NOT AN INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS SUPERSTAR?
YES! EXACTLY THAT! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?????? BECAUSE IT'S NOT!!!!

Basically YES to everything you said. I liked Paul!!! I'm excited that I actually liked Paul again! Yay!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

HE NEEDS TO WIN ALL THE AWARDS AND GET ALL THE ACCLAIM AND BE MEGA-FAMOUS FOR HIS RIDICULOUS ACTING TALENT. Seriously. I wonder if he'll ever get another opportunity to show off his ridiculously impressive range.

I...don't think I ever liked Paul in the first place, actually, so it's entirely new to me.

'We don't think so...'

You know the 'Topher isn't a psychopath' thing never clicked with me but I'm glad it was there. Lot's of 'this is how it all goes wrong' in this episode. LOVED it.

Yeah, the foreshadowing was really cool.
