I'm interested in your perspective on Dollhouse since its so different from mine. Admittedly my thoughts kinda gloss over some of the icky, exploitative stuff to get to OMG WHAT THE HELL IS ECHO, ANYWAY?!?! I find her totally fascinating--she's like this complete deconstruction of an individual.
I was thinking the other day, who wants River SO DEAD they tried to kill her mom AND blow up the Universe with her in the center of it? Isn't that OVERKILL? Hahahaha! Seriously. You should have spoken up! I guess I've seen the speculation around a few places that blowing up the TARDIS was really about River, but I hadn't seen anyone bring up Amy being shot or the idea that all of that was orchestrated together. And I think I like the thought that they were trying to keep River but get rid of her antecedents because it makes more sense of the 'destroy everything around her' approach. Otherwise why not just shoot her or something? No need to destroy the universe *and* shoot her mother! Actually, I have this issue with what Kovarian and the Church have planned for the Doctor--if all you wanted to do was shoot him, couldn't you have managed that long ago? I feel like there must be something more substantial that's being orchestrated, you know?
And perhaps her apology ["I'm sorry, my love..."] is because she realises this is about her and the Doctor has been caught up in it? IDK. Oooo, interesting. I like that.
