A week of finales
What am I going to watch now that Dollhouse and Lost are over? There's still Ashes to ashes but brit series are very short and we're nearing towards the end...
I watched Dollhouse's finale on Saturday evening, before going to see Wolverine, and I haven't rewatched it yet so my review might be rather fuzzy. First off, I must say that I prefered episode 11. "Omega" didn't seem as well written, and there was something in the pace that didn't work, especially towards the end. Of course compared to Wolverine, the scenario was a masterpiece!
Things I liked:
- Paul and Adelle arguing.
- Paul and Boyd teaming up.
. The Whiskey sub-plot and how it gave an unexpected depth to Topher eventually.
- Victor, as usual. Enver is always stellar!
- Paul's "sacrifice" and how November turned out to be the princess he woke up. He saved the girl but didn't get her. Their last scene together was touching. I think it was a great way to end Paul's journey no matter if we get a second season or not..
-Alpha threatening Caroline's wedge with his gun instead of aiming at Echo.
Things that I didn't like:
- the Omega stuff even though the idea of the Frankestein's monster wanting a fiancée like him was a good revival of the story. Unfortunately it was rushed and the scenes in Alpha's lair, with poor Wendy, didn't work for me. Alpha's exit was quite convenient too.
- the Caroline in Wendy/Omega scene and the line about Obama. I'm sorry but that was cheap and not Whedon quality.
- Alpha's criminal background and what it means in terms of nature vs nurture debate.
-Paul using the S word...or was it a wink at Buffy fans?
- Paul saving Caroline's wedge. It was phoned and Echo shouldn't have needed him. The wedge thing was a good device to allow the princess to save herself as the little girl hoped so in the previous episode. I wish that Paul had saved Echo but that she had saved Caroline.

They wiped all his memories out thanks to their technology
I don't think they did. Everything we saw on the show points to the memories still being there, but behind a subconscious barrier (explaining the previous personalities surfacing in the episode when they were all high).
