Brain too fried for anything but bullet points

[botherd]

- I finished the first draft of my thelittlebang fic! Except because I'm stupid I wrote it all longhand, so now I have ~19000 words to type up. D: I should get on that tomorrow, but I have The Bell Jar to read for Tuesday, so it might not happen.

- ajkdfhjkdgf also, I have my fucking dissertation to write. I HAVE LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS. D: D: D:

- HOW AMAZING WAS DOLLHOUSE THIS WEEK?! ADFHDSFLAKFG HOLY FUCK. I'm so annoyed I was spoiled for Alan Tudyk playing Alpha, because that would have been the BEST REVEAL EVER. I mean, I still gasped as it was. Also: PAUL BALLARD IS SUCH A MONUMENTAL IDIOT. I mean, seriously. I'm not an FBI agent, and I still know that THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO TAKE DOWN A HUGE CRIMINAL ORGANISATION. JESUS CHRIST. Not that he wants to do that, he just wants to save Caroline, but still. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE POTENTIALLY ONLY TWO EPISODES LEFT EVER, AND ONE OF THEM WE WON'T EVEN GET UNTIL THE DVD.

LOLLL, DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP RE. ITS QUALITY.

Woot woot! Typing it out is great for catching those little mistakes you didn't see before or bits that just don't work together. I still have more notes than progress, but whatever lol.

Paul is such an annoying weirdo! He keeps letting his creepy obsession with Caroline get in the way of, say, THINKING. With all the information and previous experience he has had with the Dollhouse, you'd think he'd come up with a better plan than just walking into the building with a stranger lololol.

Yeah, for once I haven't been writing linearly (that word looks wrong? PROBABLY BECAUSE IT'S NEARLY 4AM) so I need to see if it actually all fits together. But ugh, the thought of typing it all up! It's something like 60 pages.

Paul's non-plan was completely useless! But it was also exactly the same as Caroline's plan in 'Needs' (i.e. let a bunch of brainwashed people out into the real world minus their actual personalities), so clearly they are MFEO.

OMG I agree about everything you said. I too was spoiled, but he did such a good job that I totally thought I'd gotten it wrong somehow. And Det. Ballard is (a much dumber version of) Helo. I don't understand how we haven't gotten any backstory for him yet...either there's more to his obsession with Caroline than they've shown, or he's seriously fucked in the head and we have to see why. I was beginning to think he was a doll too that someone inside the organization and/or Alpha had created to bring about its downfall. BUT OMG DID YOU CATCH WHISKEY?? I have no idea how I'd feel about Claire being a doll. I would like it so much more if Adelle had chosen her over Victor since at least then Claire would have a storyline outside of "we needed a doctor who could keep her mouth shut".

And they'd be pretty! And they wouldn't have needed to fuck up Victor's face for shock value!

What was the deal with Whiskey? I definitely heard it and went "Wait, is that a doll?" but then there must have been too much stuff going on because I've completely forgotten the context. Was he talking about Claire? Now I need to rewatch!

[crystalizedfrog.livejournal.com]

Lol, rereading what I wrote clearly shows the effects of caffeine on me (I'm writing a paper all night) that sounds like I'm on cocaine!! I hope my paper doesn't sound like that! Laurence was looking at Claire when he said Whiskey, like he was calling her a name, and kinda smirking. But it could purposely be a red herring too.

LOL, good luck with your paper! I dread to think what some of my last-minute essays sound like, heh.

I remember now! Hmmm, I don't know if I can see Claire as a doll - you'd think they'd wipe the traumatic Alpha memories from her. Maybe it's someone else? If we don't find out next week we'll probably never find out, argh.
