    LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!! :D
    Just.....wow!, action packaed from start to finish, sooooooo much going on....i don't know where to begin!

    But lets start with Enver!!!!!!:eek: the guy is *just* an amazing actor, he got Topher 100% bang on in every way, their scenes were soooooo funny!

    Bennet and Topher, class!...great chemistry, what a perfect pairing!...i loved the flirting and interplay, but she's one twisted kitten! :eek:

    I'd have to say, Summer Glau was fantastic in the role, she played it so well!...really glad it was two eps. as this really was a two parter, or three...it's not over yet.

    Oh!...did anyone get Alpha vibes from some of Bennets mannerisms?, talking to herself, facial ticks etc., i felt like there must be some connection.

    Very good episodes...nothing like an imminent cancellation to bump up the quality! Topher/Victor worth worth watching again and again...

    That was awesome... like late season 1 stuff... It's a good sign that the series will go out with a bang at the very least... and
    with episode 13 being called Epitaph 2, I'm certain we'll get closure...

    Fantastic stuff, and again got to hand it to Enver Gjokaj. His mimic abilities are superb and I hope he gets a good acting gig after this. They must have felt sorry for giving Sierra a heavy episode as she was nowhere to be seen in both eps. I have no previous experience of Summer Glau but she was ubercreepy. And poor Mellie:eek:

    Such a shame the show couldn't have been like this instead of constant assignment of the week fodder, but I now look forward to enjoying how the second half of the final season plays out.

    Keith Carradine's character said something like "what was her name, Sierra?" so it seemed to allude that she's gone or something? But that's not where the last episode we saw her in left things so not sure what the deal is.

    Both episodes this week were fantastic and it does get my hopes up for a strong finish - I just do hope "Epitaph Two" provides solid closure for the series.

    Great episodes. Why couldn't we get writing like this in the early episodes of the seasons! Again, as everyone else says, excellent job by Victor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Agree with everything above.

    Very very good. Gjokaj & Glau were outstanding. I didn't want episode 6 to end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,473 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Topher and Victor were fantastic in there...epsecially Victor...taking Topher off to a T especially at the end scene :)
    I can't understand how dolhouse can have some really fantastic shows one minute and some load of shíte the next...
    Wheldon really needs to sort his crap out for his next show,

    One thing I forgot to mention...

    Did Echo manage to overwrite the imprint of having a dead arm during the fight with psycho congressman?

    That could be interesting for future episodes.

    More likely Dushku forgot that her character had a dead arm... ;):D

    One thing I wasn't sure about... was the senator caught again by the other dollhouse or did he just say that stuff himself (without being re-written)?

    I'm probably giving her too much credit alright. :D

    Would be an interesting development though so hope it's not just a goof.

    I assumed he said it himself.

    She overcame it. When he has her on the ground she is shouting as him that he does not have to do as he is programmed to. Then the realisation hits her, she looks at her dead arm and forces herself to move her fingers, picks up a shovel and fights back.

    He willingly went to the Dollhouse as he wanted them to erase the memory of him killing his 'wife' with his own hands.

    Whenever anyone says "You can't improve upon perfection", I just point to this episode and say "Sure you can, you just get her to wear glasses" :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,780 ✭✭✭JohnK


    Two brilliant episodes; if only they'd had these at the start of hte season I doubt it would have been cancelled. As said above, Enver is showing what a serious talent he is. I'll certainly be watching for him in the future.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    Geat stuff,

    There was no reason why this couldn't have been the first two episodes of this season.

    As sad as I am to see it finish i'd rather see 5 more episodes like this with a good finale then 8 seasons of the ****e like came at the start of this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,518 ✭✭✭matrim


    It was fantastic stuff. Pity this season didn't start like this.

    After ep 5, I was sure Bennet was Alpha, didn't see her being Caroline's friend in any way. The similarities between them were really well done.
