Oh, my god, what the shit ya'll!  That was boss, man!  Perfection, utter perfection.  Witness the exchange below!

Topher:  What are you doing?
Adelle: Doing?
Topher: Besides being ...
Adelle:  Being what?  Sarcastic?  Controlling?  British?
Topher: It's an animal.
Adelle: Where?
Topher: No, the word.
Adelle: Still, you have to admit, I am very British.  I don't say hard R's.
Topher:  You know what I like?  Brown sauce.  What's it made of?  Science doesn't know!
Adelle:  It's made of brown.
Topher:  Bro-own.  Mined from the earth by the hard scrabbled brown miners of North Brownerton
Adelle:  Oh my god.  I find lentils totally incomprehensible.
Topher:  Hee hee hee hee ... That's got nothing to do with the drug.  Which means our problems are huge and indomitable
Adelle:  Oooh, I could eat that word.  Or a crisp?  Do you have any crisps?
Topher: You haven't seen my Drawer of Inapropriate Starches! 
Adelle:  Oh my god, I'm having such a terrible day.

I mean, Oh. my. god.  This was like the best and the worse episode of Dollhouse to watch when crazy high, man.  It was so surreal.  And that couch Adelle was lying on (rawr) was the exact same couch that I was lying on, and I felt like we were all in the same room, lying on that couch together, firin' up the hookah, eating too many cookies and laughing at everything.  We totally would have cuddled, too.  Totally.

Firstly, I have to say that I pretty much love Adelle and Olivia Williams.  I want to take Olivia Williams behind the middle school and get her pregnant!  She is so much wacky fun.  I loved her attempts to get over that banister.  And the hint of Adelle bra was much appreciated (as was that trampoline scene "Say 'Hi' from me!"). 

Seriously, she and Topher were comedy gold together.  I could watch Topher and Adelle as their wacked stoned adventures every week.  Brilliant.  But brilliant.  I also loved that scene where they were swaying together listening to Boyd play the piano through the phone, it got me, it got me right here *points to heart*

Topher:  I have another call!  I have another call!  I have a better call!  *clicks*  Boyd!  Did you find Echo?
Adelle wrestles telephones away from him.
Adelle:  Boyd ... *chagrined look*  Did you find Echo?
Boyd:  I've got it under control Ms. Dewitt.
Adelle:  Is Echo contained?
Boyd: Just listen.
Walks over to a piano and sits down.  Props phone up and begins to play a classical song.
Adelle gasps, looks at the phone.  Topher stares at it.  They huddle together.
Adelle gets shivers, and giddy, overwhelmed.  Topher smiles.  It really is very beautiful.
They listen together in rapt glory, and Adelle looks like Elaine Cassidy (aka Maud from Fingersmith) a whole lot.


The exchange (above), when Adelle and Topher began to lose it and spiraled into crazyville,  made total sense to me.  Watching this I seriously wanted to go to there, and hang with them!

November:  Is she what you think about when you're on me?
Adelle's and Topher's eyes bug out.
November:  There are three flowers in the vase...
Adelle's 'Oh shit ... Mommy!' face owned the world.

Adelle: I'm your superior!
Topher: In every possible way.

...Also, I really want to know what happened to Topher's pants.

Also, I LOVED Dominic.  I was dying at his spazzy movements and general girl on crutches at the wrong party mopeyness.  His apologizing to Echo was very interesting.  But I'm in no state to analyze it. 

"Yeah right, four hours ago you were talking about how much you loved applesauce."
"Oh man, it's so heavy.  It makes my arm tired."
"It was so heavy.  Everything's heavy."
"I'm really sorry for trying to burn you alive.  That was really not cool."
"Feels Nice...like a kitty!"
"Again, sorry about the burning to death. "

Also, Echo was an anime character!  Seriously, Echo's outfit was super awesome anime, and scene of her riding in on the awesome red motorcycle in her psuedo-school girl outfit was awesomeness personified.

I don't actually remember a lot of this episode.  I'm going to have to watch it again.  I remember there was some stuff with Caroline, but I couldn't follow her storyline AT ALL.  There was too much talking.  And that opening was really long.  It was 13 minutes long.  We counted.  That's JJ Abrhams, "Alias" still shit.

And any coherence I once had is gone now, and my stomach hurts (rice cakes followed by chocolate frosting from the can wasn't such a good idea, even though it seemed like a good idea in the middle of a David Bowie dance sequence from Labyrinth) so it's time to hit post ...

MANSIONS IN MY EYES!

Adelle: Oooh, I could eat that word.

I don't know how or when, but I'm going to use that line someday. I'm a little late getting on the Adelle/Olivia train, but I'm so there now and I ain't ever getting off!

And November/Millie whatever we're supposed to call her, is a cutie. I hope we haven't seen the last of her.

Echo was an anime character!

LOL she totally was. I had a My-HiME moment when she pulled in on that motorcycle.

I guess I read wrong about Amy Acker being in all the remaining episodes. I would have loved to see her getting all messed up with Adelle and Topher. Anyway next weeks episode looks awesome.

lol! I know. "I could eat that word" is my new "he said that word like it was made out of milk chocolate". It's just sexy.

I'm a little late getting on the Adelle/Olivia train, but I'm so there now and I ain't ever getting off!

I'm just so glad they are giving her such good stuff to do. I was worried that she'd be criminally underused after the pilot, but it's clear that the team knows what an awesome and talented actress they have on their hands. I was really surprised and delighted by how good she was at the comedy, I've mostly only seen her in dramas.

LOL she totally was. I had a My-HiME moment when she pulled in on that motorcycle.

Yeah, I couldn't get over it. And then she went into the space age labs, and I was like "Anime character! It cannot be denied!" I kind of loved that outfit, although I have to wonder what was going on in the costuming department, lol

I would have loved to see her getting all messed up with Adelle and Topher.

This. That would have been awesome. Although I have to say the episode was so good, that I didn't even realize there was no Claire until after it was over. Still seeing her and Adelle jumping on the tramp together giving each other like high fives would have been awesome. Even awesomer, if Claire wanted to play doctor, and Adelle was her patient. Rawr.

Anyway next weeks episode looks awesome.

This. I cannot wait!

hahaha I find it AMAZING that you could post ANYTHING wordforword of this episode!

Actually, I downloaded a copy and then transcribed that. I could barely remember anything from watching it, because I was watching with other people who kept talking, we were stoned, and we almost set the house on fire which distracted us for a while.

i really cant even fully say anything concrete about it because it was just SO spazzy and sooo great!!!

Dude, I know what you mean. That was just a fully enjoyable viewing experience.

hahaha the house is still standing though right?
i've dropped....flaming things that should not be dropped on carpet before and that's just not fun, so i bet almost setting fire to a place was much more jarring :S

Olivia > everyone. And she needs to come back to London as soon as she is finished with Dollhouse and get her ass to a West End theatre of her choice (see? I'm reasonable..), and possibly take Lena Headey with her, if it isn't too much trouble..

*_*

Olivia > everyone.

This is truth. She is amazing. I want to kiss her feet. I'd only seen her in like dramas before this, so to know that she's brilliant at comic stuff too just makes me love her more. She had so many brilliant moments in this episode.

And she needs to come back to London as soon as she is finished with Dollhouse and get her ass to a West End theatre of her choice

*sigh* You are so lucky to have access to all of these wonderful thespians doing stage work in London. *kicks Toronto in the ass* I'll keep my fingers crossed for Olivia's illustrious return to the stage for you :D

Did they cancel the show? I heard a rumor...but I am bad and haven't paid that much attention...
I will weep large tears if they have!

Did they cancel the show?

No. I think I just read that Joss was guarenteed that all 13 episodes would air. So, we'll at least get a full first season. As for a second season, I have no idea. The rating are going up, but they are not stellar as far as I can tell. As the show gets better, word of mouth will probably lead to bigger audiences, but FOX has no patience.

Right now I'm mourning the fact, that there are probably only 2 more episodes ever of Terminator *sob* God, I love that show.

Oh me too! That's another show that I think just keeps getting better! Plus...you can't go wrong with Lena...she's just yummy!

That episode was so very awesome.

It was magically delicious. Really, brilliant. I didn't think Dollhouse could get this wacky, but I'm so glad I was wrong.

Topher/Adele! Laurence! AHAHAHAHA!

I know! Through Boyd in there too! That piano bit had me in stitches.

I loved the part when Adelle was jumping on the trampoline. "Say hi for me!"

Adelle jumping on the tramp was pure comedy gold. I loved it. And the "Say 'hi' from me" thing was too cute. I also loved her trying to get over that railing. lol. Oh my god. Olivia Williams! Marry me!

"Echo was an anime character!"
Accurate assessment. I was wondering what the hell was up with that outfit and you just cleared it up for me. You are too funny.

Adelle: Being what? Sarcastic? Controlling? British?
Topher: It's an animal.
Adelle: Where?
Topher: No, the word.
Adelle: Still, you have to admit, I am very British. I don't say hard R's.


I wonder how many takes it took to do this scene without dying of laughter.

Olivia Williams = Amazing. I've loved her since she was in The Heart Of Me with Helena Bonham Carter.

Adelle's 'Oh shit ... Mommy!' face owned the world.

This! Her facial expressions were gold in this episode. They really need to use her more, she is too talented to waste.

I felt high watching this. I think I've had a sensory overload.

THIS.

For real. I couldn't have said it better myself. I didn't even realize how much I had missed Joss Whedon until this show came back and made it completely apparent.

Topher and Adelle should get all drugged out every episode from here on out. Right? Who's with me?

(as was that trampoline scene "Say 'Hi' from me!")


LOL, I completely laughed out loud at this.

I mean she was always so...British and dangerous...You so didn't want to mess with her. And then this scene happened lol!

Dangerous+British+Funny = *bows to her*.

And then when she tries to climb over the railing this. I found that soooo adorable - just like an excited little kid. ^.^

I'm glad you wrote down the exchange between Topher and Adelle. ^_^ I was cracking up when I watched it. I loved the last two episodes. I wish I hadn't deleted them by force of habit. x_x
