I'm a glutton for punishment. I know how Joss works, I know that not everyone is gonna walk out of the finale in one piece, but every time I get caught seeing characters that I'm emotionally attached to die.

Oh god. This was soooooooo good. Awesome. I was crying as soon as it was revealed that Topher was gonna sacrifice himself and the clenching in my heart just wouldn't quit. The first half was just awesome to see how the characters had changed and the second half was so emotionally wrenching and also emotionally satisfying that it kept me on edge. It was overwhelming in the very best sort of way.
I'm happy to be back on the Dollhouse train. The last few eps had lost me with the rush of storytelling but oh wow. AMAZING finale. I think it's one of my favorites of Joss' works. Way to wrap it up, guys!
And A/C, you're so right on that this will spawn loads of fic. At this moment I feel the desperate need for some Topher fic to ease the pain. Topher! *sobs*

ETA: The ending did seem kind of abrupt, cutting off the song like that. Hopefully it will be fixed on the DVD. Yeah that better be fixed for the DVD. I was teary and full of strange feely emotions and then it was all "woah what the hell". Ugghhh Season 2 out now please!

I can't leave a very long post cause I have to get some sleep for work tomorrow, but the finale was just amazing. I was very impressed by what they did, sad that the show is over, and yet I'm still trying to process the whole episode and the whole series from start to finish. Well done Whedon, cast, crew, writers, everyone. Can't wait to get the blu-ray so I can watch again.

I can't get Topher out of my head, and probably won't for awhile. I remember, like many others, that I really didn't care for Topher at the beginning. He just offered little, and there was really nothing to his character besides being... annoyingly egotistical. But near the end of Season 1 he started to become interesting, and then with Epitaph One and Season 2 he just kept growing and growing, as did Fran Kranz. I now understood him and that made me love his character in the first episodes.
Topher is up there with Whedon's best characters. The finale sealed that fact.

I really, really didn't give a crap about Paul until Echo broke down and admitted she loved him, which happened after he died. IMO, the ending with Paul being imprinted into Echo was a tad corny, but also kind of bittersweet. Topher's death was terribly sad. I didn't like how Adelle let Topher go so easy.
I agree with everyone about the DVD. Can't wait.

I like how Epitaph One and Epitaph Two work as a single unit of story; and yet, each one distinctly carries with it the developments of the respective season. Truly beautiful. So sad to see this show go.

Can I gloat for the fact that I always enjoyed Topher and saw potential in him? He was the most interesting character from the very start for me. I think he got the best character arc out of the entire series. Echo's had too many jumpy starts and stops. Topher's had a heart to it. Amazing.
I think I'm about to go do a rewatch of Season 1 since I just got the DVDs recently. Gah. Heart is still in pain. Topher's death is gonna stay with me.

I was disappointed that there was no appearance or mention of Mr. Dominick in Epitaph 2. I mean in Epitaph 1 he's escaped the Attic and has been out in the world and that was it. Would have liked to have known if he died or survived.

I can't even form words. Like, in real life, I'm just having short periods of hysterical laughter because I'm that sad/angry/juiced from such a KILLER finale. Probably my favourite finale of a Whedon show.
Anyone else catch Jed at the dinner table at the start of the house scene? Or was my mind playing tricks?
I've stayed up until 4:30AM so I could watch the finale. I was so tired between 2AM and 3AM, but now I don't think I'll even be able to sleep. I rearranged the plans I had with my friends to Sunday instead of tomorrow so I can get some sleep. The things I do for my fandom, eh?

I think the finale wrapped things up nicely. I thought the episode was a bit, hrm, subdued. In the sense that everything seemed quiet, even in the action scenes. But I really enjoyed it. And when Paul got shot in the head I definitely yelled out "Yes!" I hated him. A lot. It felt rewarding. Although, I felt really badly for Echo when she finally broke down, and their conclusion together was definitely a bit cheesy, but a nice way to end their storyline.
Bennet coming back was a nice little gift for fans. Still so sad she died. =[

W O W O.O Best finale ever. Best show ever. This beats anything Joss has done, IMO. It's just... PERFECT! My only problem is that I take it Whiskey died from the gas in Epitaph One... NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! They should have brought Amy back for this episode. Would have been great to see her in the fixed up DH, and then restored to her original self in the final moment. <3 Oh well. I got what I got. xD Priya/Tony/T's story was great. A very happy ending for them, which is good. So saw the Alpha thing coming, but so awesome. He was so cool. Needs to be a good guy more often. Adelle. AH! Adelle. Love the girl. So glad she pulled through. Topher... I love him so much, but his death had to happen. In a way, I feel it was the only way he could fully redeem himself to the world. Plus, I think he deserved death. Now, I don't mean that in a bad way! xD I mean it as in he has been through so much, that he deserves the peace of death. Bennett! That girl saved the day, and didn't even know it! Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Oh, and Mag: Lezbian. Great! lmao. The reveal was so funny, and perfect. So, yes. My only problems are that Dominic was missing, and poor Whiskey couldn't make it into the finale. ((Well, besides the very, very beginning clips. xD)) I just cant seem to be able to stop expressing my love for this. Must. Stop. Typingg!
