  <title>SPOILER for Omega:  How I Learned to Hate the Dollhouse</title>
  <link>https://alcibiades.dreamwidth.org/22015.html</link>
  <description>So all season long I&apos;ve swung back and forth about Dollhouse, wanting to make sure I gave it the benefit of the doubt and being interested but not enamored and waiting out the dreary beginning. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It felt very postmodern to me - and I don&apos;t have a natural affinity for postmodernism. &amp;nbsp;Instead of fantasy, it&apos;s world view seemed very bleak - grim, mundane reality, and the notion of identity was something that kept on being reinterpreted, overlaid again and again with something new, depending on who and what agenda was behind the machine. &amp;nbsp;To the point where the notion of intrinsic meaning or core value was being called into question. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://alcibiades.dreamwidth.org/22015.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;AppleOriginalContents&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;Complete and utter narcissism if you ask me. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class=&quot;AppleOriginalContents&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;AppleOriginalContents&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;He should just go into therapy and stop taking his guilt trip and various anxieties out on us.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alcibiades&amp;ditemid=22015&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Spoilers for 4.20 and Future Spec&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m pretty worried about Bobby. &amp;nbsp;In fact, I&apos;ve been worried about him for months now. &amp;nbsp;We know Dean is going to lose Sam to the darkside. &amp;nbsp;That&apos;s been clear for months and months. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://alcibiades.dreamwidth.org/21597.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alcibiades&amp;ditemid=21597&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
