the age old question: why does joss whedon hate love?

[comeon_eileen]

I have a post ready, explaining why I haven't been online in a while (and it's a good post) but having seen Dollhouse episode 12, I find my brain is goo and my heart is in shreds and I'm like.

Seriously.

Dollhouse fallout much?

I WAS GOING TO USE TWILIGHTGATE AS A SECOND POST. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY. ADJFA;LKDFJALSDF

Except of course, because joss whedon hates love.

Aw...as much as Mellie's death KILLED me and my shipper!heart, I was actually kinda happy with how it was done. I mean, her love for Paul was strong enough to overcome her programming, allowing her to end her life in order to save his. Heartbreaking, yes, but I think it made their connection all the more beautiful. (Also helped that I could actually like Paul now that his Echo!obsession has been removed :D)

And in case you were referring to Boyd/Claire...Yeah...that kinda sucks. Seems like Boyd was only using her and didn't appear to be bothered by Clyde over-taking her body. So that sucks. But Amy did rock that suit! And the Adelle/Clyde!Claire femslash pretty much writes itself:)

And we had some lovely Tony/Priya moments:) I really hope Joss breaks his own rule and allows them to live/be together/not be evil or wiped. I imagine that won't happen but I can keep my fingers crossed for another two weeks :D

The Mellie thing shocked me, but I see where you are coming from regarding the handling of her death; I especially liked Paul's talk with her about what's real and feelings are feelings, etc.

What actually left me like, unconscious was the fallout of the Boyd thing. First, that he was freaking insane and couldn't understand that they were unhappy with the scenario. The whole "family". And then, WORSE, the Boyd/Echo father/daughter thing.

"I loved you."
"I know."
I was like, ARG. And then when she hands him the grenade? I try to be my best. I loved Boyd so hard, I could not believe it had come to this.

Priya/Tony is ALL I HAVE LEFT. If Joss pulls a ... well, Joss. Goodness gracious.

I'm still torn on the Boyd thing.

I mean, I love that they shocked me like that and Harry played creepy!evil really well but...I hate that it ruined the ONLY thing I liked about Echo: Her relationship with Boyd.

Theirs was probably the purest relationship on the show and they completely destroyed it. Even if evil!Boyd did care for her in his own creepy way, he wasn't above killing her to get what he needed. And in turn, she didn't seem all that devastated about killing him in his doll!state when the time came.

I understand why she would've felt like she had to kill him (in case he ever returned to not!doll state) but still...I wish they could've found a way around it. They didn't kill Claire even though Clyde!Claire was totally evil so why kill doll!Boyd?...

*sobs* It was terrible.

I didn't really care so much about Mellie, we didn't see her in Epitaph One so knew it had to happen sometime, but still.

Boyd. DOLL!BOYD. Killed. Me.
