Dollhouse - 2x11 - Getting Closer

[fembuck]

OH.

MY.

GOD.

Jesus H. Christ that was an amazing 45 min. of television.

My thoughts are gonna be all over the place on this one cause ...



My mind is BLOWN.

First of all, this was a very, very good episode for lady gay!  Every scene between Caroline and Bennett was GHEY AS HALE!   From the moment they met, Bennett was totally like:




Yeah, late night sex so wet, it's so tight
A gas of a jet for you tonight
Baby, you could go where ever you like
I said you could go where ever you like, yeah

I was shitting bricks during the hair washing scene.  The way it started I really and truly believed that it was a morning after scene and we'd get to see them kiss. 

[Caroline gently strokes a piece of hair out of Bennett's face]
Caroline:  We're going to make you pop.
Bennett:  I'm not sure I wish to ... pop.
Caroline:  You're going to pop ... and like it. 
[Caroline giggles, and then playfully helps Bennett take off her robe]
Caroline: Get in the chair.  Lay down.

Me:  0_o
*laughs hysterically*

Bennett:  I'd love to get a look at your amigdala
[Caroline smiles sexily]
Caroline: You'd have to buy me dinner first.

As it is I'm convinced that this really was a morning after scene (or perhaps a before evening scene lol) and the kissing will be on the season 2 DVDs deleted scenes. 

Also, HAIR WASHING *swoon* 

Honestly, now I'm going to be having dreams about Eliza Dushku gently massaging shampoo into my scalp, while soft light hits us gently and romantic music plays in the background.  I already legit love having my hair washed by someone else because it feels heavenly, and add Eliza Dushku into that equation and it's super-awesome-fun-time ... in my pants.

And as if the hair washing scene wasn't gay enough there was this exchange:

Caroline:  You're not pissed because I used you.
Bennett:  I'm hurt that you won't.

I mean ... UNF!


and then this exchange:

Caroline:  I'll make you an offer.  You resurrect Caroline Farrel long enough for me to save my friends and I'll let you do whatever you want to her.  I will hold the bitch down.
Bennett: Deal.

Me:  *feels uncomfortably damp in the undies region.*

Eliza and Summer have AMAZING chemistry together.  When they were breaking into the Rossum lab, I was struck by how awesome it would have been to see a show about Bennett and Caroline's Fabulous Adventures in Espionage.  Bennett would have been the Oracle to Caroline's Black Canary/Huntress.  Oh, it could have been so beautiful.  

But the lady gay wasn't confined to just Bennett and Caroline, oh ho no, Adelle had to squeeze her way in there and so did my bb Claire!  The scene with Adelle and Echo watching the video of Caroline was fraught with tension.  Mmm.  And Adelle's backtracking when it finally registered with her that Claire was back slayed me.  I think what I loved about it most (besides Olivia's Williams face) was that Claire looked so sad that Adelle had no reaction to her, like she couldn't believe her former lover wasn't even going to acknowledge her.

Speaking of my bb Claire ...



That was honestly so shocking to me.  She was all demure, and lurky, and wearing a white lab coaty ... and then all of a sudden BANG GUN BULLET HEAD DEAD ... OMG!

Also, it must be said.  As much as I loved the Bennett/Caroline scenes, the Bennett/Topher scenes were really cute as well.  Topher is love is really quite charming.  Priya and Anthony getting to go off for some afternoon delight was nice as well.  I've always liked those two together.  And Claire/Boyd was sweet for the 5 min.'s it was on screen.

Pretty much all of the couple-y stuff was good this episode except for Echo/Paul who continue to have no chemistry and be boring as fuck.  The whole 'you were the brightest line'/Topher stole their love conversation just left me yawning.  I was like, allow me to dredge up some care from give a fuck bay.

But ... BUT ... The ending was legit like:

WTF????

It was certainly a shocking reveal and one I would never have guessed (though I guess it does answer that series long question, "Why does Boyd stay with the Dollhouse if he finds what they do so reprehensible?").  Still, I feel kind of like giving Mutant Enemy this face:



Because Boyd was like my TV Daddy (because he is tall and huggable and protective like my real Dad) and so I don't want him to be a criminal mastermind.

Still, that reveal is going to make for a hell of an explosive ending for the series.  Like I cannot wait to see what is coming next week!

GRR ARGH!  I'm so mad this show got canceled!  Just like T:SCC the second season of this show started off kind of slow but by the end of the show it had gotten  so fucking awesome that I just wanted more, more, more, more, more!

I know! I kept on jumping and yelling that throughout the whole episode!

so much love for summer and amy..

They're amazing. I didn't even realize how fully I missed Amy's presence on this show until I saw her again. It was like seeing an old friend. Damn, I love Claire. And Summer totally made me love Bennett this episode. I always kind of forget how good Summer is, and then it's like BLAA-BLAM!

dude if i were oprah rich i'd totally buy a network just so i could keep joss whedon and bryan fuller employed for life. fuckin' FOX...

I want to find a genie lamp and make you Oprah just so this can happen now. That would be the best network on earth! For reals.
