ahhh let me see if I can actually formulate responses the capslocking nearly killed my eyes XD

1) I think by the time Boyd got around to explaining his motivations everyone--audience and his 'family' included--pretty much was thinking 'crazy man say crazy things'. I think in theory what he did was 'sweet' (as far as crazy meglomaniacs go) but his actual...methods were just this side of crazy evil guy with mustache in those old spy movies. It actually kind of broke my heart when they asked him why have them there and he had this little kid look of 'lost sadness' while saying 'Because you are my family'.

2) lol I was glad that Echo was Echo+1 Caroline Memories and not Caroline-1 Echo personality. Obviously Caroline wasn't a bad person, but you can't trust the zealous. Those are the sorts who believe the ends justify the means and you should blow up hundreds of people to save the potential thousand.

3) Amy Acker in the suit, Amy Acker as Clyde was pure fun and games. I loved it. I just flat out loved it. The fight was really worth it too (though I was thinking more like Faith vs. Illyria since I hate thinking of Fred as a violent person...). I gotta give Whedon props--his girl on girl fights are never 'fanservice' fights they are knock'em out bloody fisticuffs.

4) So Boyd is responsible for Bennett's death (ie: Topher's love) and Mellie's death (ie: Paul's re-emerged love), both times through other means. I was kind of upset that Paul could get over Mellie being a real person, but he couldn't have gotten over that shit when Echo was living with him. I mean I never liked Mellie, actually I never liked that actress to begin with she just was so...cloying, but if Paul hadn't been imprinted by his own self, would he still feel that way do you think?

Also that answers the question as to what Tony and Priya were talking about in Epitaph One in regards to 'what happened to November'.

5) Way to go Topher for thinking of something that Boyd didn't think of. I mean it. His Topher 2.0 was a stroke of real genius and may have impressed Boyd even.

6) I love it when Boyd is explaining that they are his family, but Paul is that relative you can do without. His expression of 'What did you people see in him?' was priceless. It hurt when you saw him as a Doll and he happily went and killed himself because he trusted Echo. I know they couldn't keep him around, but it was still rather painful. I felt so bad for Echo.

7) I would have liked to see more struggle between Caroline and Echo's personalities--obviously I wanted Echo to win, but she went nuts then came back from it and that was that.

8) mwaha I can see the announcer now: 'So you blew up Rossum--but the world ends anyway! Got'cha!' I'm looking forward to Epitaph Two, though I WANT TO SEE ALPHA GIVE ME ALPHA I WANT ALPHA AND DOMINIC AND I WANT THEM NOW PLEASE. And that jerk from Epitaph One.

9) you know if they were smart they'd show Epitaph One at 8pm and Epitaph Two at 9pm, but ah well. They're airing it at 8pm so guess not.
