chicafrom3THE BEST PART OF THIS IS THE RETURN OF VICTOR!TOPHER. OMG. Did they just write those scenes so they could have Enver play Fran again? BECAUSE THAT IS TOTALLY A GOOD REASON AND I APPLAUD THEIR NARRATIVE CHOICES.
...I still have difficulty dealing with evil Boyd. I love Boyd. Whyyyy. *is sadface* Boyyyyyd.
Topher freaking out over his tech being used as weaponry and the guilt and the freaking out because his tech is supposed to be shiny fun toys...And then "can you fix it?" "in my sleep" D:
"No matter what, I will never forget you. ...And if I come out evil, shoot me." "I'm not going to kill you." "Seriously wound me, then."
Tony/Priya continue to be adorable. As is Victor!Topher trying to convince Priya to let him reimplant Tony with bonus ninja skills and awesome soldier talents and also cooking abilities in case they get married someday, and the way Priya considers it for a moment, and omg love Enver and Dichen they are awesome.
You know who else is awesome? Amy Acker. So good at playing someone so completely different from Whiskey/Claire.
...I like Mellie. I prefer Paul with Mellie to Paul with Echo, which isn't saying a whole lot because Paul, as a whole, equals boring. But I like Mellie. Quite a bit. "When we were together, you made me feel like a real person." :(
And Adelle! ADELLE I LOVE YOU AND I WANT TO BE YOU WHEN I GROW UP. Without, you know, the whole running-a-high-tech-brothel thing. BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME AND BADASS.
"Except for Paul. But there's always one relative you can do without. And frankly I never understood what you saw in him."
I'M REALLY NOT OKAY WITH EVIL!BOYD. I mean I get it. It's a really good twist, it's a good narrative choice, well done, Joss, no one saw that coming and it was a good decision. But I love Boyd and having be the Big Bad is hurting me because now I don't know who to side with.
"We're family."
"Call us whatever you want, but not family... You know about Boyd?"
"Yeah. Didn't see that one coming."
NEITHER DID ANYONE ELSE.
Adelle & Topher are my platonic!OTP. Oh god. I want them to live happily ever after and I know they won't and whyyyy.
NICE JOB BREAKING IT PAUL.
OKAY. I really really should never have gotten invested in these characters to the point where seeing them dead/broken/whatev hurts. It's a Joss Whedon show. I have experience with Joss Whedon show. I never for a minute expected him to let the shiny survive. Joss can't stand not to break his toys. BUT he's also really good at gettingpeople me to invest in his characters despite knowing that they will end up dead/broken/whatev. CURSE YOU JOSS WHEDON.
"Did I fall asleep?"
WHAT THE HELL. D: D: D:
And then "I try to be my best" and *flail* and WTF and OMG BOYD. D: D: D:
"So did we save the world?"
"I guess we did."
AND THEN TEN YEARS LATER AND DAMMIT EPITAPH ONE.
HOW IS THERE ONLY ONE EPISODE LEFT OF THIS SHOW DAMMIT AND WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS FOR THAT WHAT IS THIS SHIT
In conclusion, two things:
1) This cast is ridiculously awesome.
2) CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL, JOSS WHEDON.

Adelle/Topher is my platonic!OTP as well. I love their mother/son relationship. I loved how in Topher's security footage, you could see her put her hand on his cheek and step forward to kiss his cheek, which they had in the script for the last one, but cut.
Victor!Topher is awesome. Tony/Priya is adorable. Amy Acker is amazing. Paul is boring, but I like him with Mellie, and now she's dead. Boo. I do like that he gets SOME amusing lines. Occasionally.
How good is Harry at making Boyd evil though? It's amazing. He's so creepy, but not enough that it would throw off the characters. It's very subtle. The evil grin when he said "I'm glad I chose you." to Topher made me flail.
Topher makes me hurt so much. I love how Topher kept wanting to like.. I don't even know, attack people? First Whiskey!Clyde for killing Bennett, then BOYD for killing Bennett, and then like "I invented it... which means I have to destroy it!" He tries so hard to make things right. It breaks my heart.
"Look at you, Topher. Risking your life for the cause. Choosing morality over self-preservation."
If anyone tries to say Topher is evil after this, I will put up one hell of a fight.

I will join you in that fight! Topher's had some serious ethical and moral lapses, he's definitely not the most white-hat-good-guy around but I don't see how anyone could possibly call him evil. The sheer desperation in his realization that his tech is being used for evil... D:
...I need to get a Boyd icon eventually, probably.
