Hopefully you all know what Dollhouse is. This show, along with Whedon's others is a great examination of what makes us human. His characters always have depth and meaning and despite the fact they have superpowers, save the world alot, roam around in space, get brainwashed or even do the brainwashing they are ALL relatable. My favorite Dollhouse characters' so far are Topher Brink and Adelle DeWitt. Topher "is the genius programmer of the Dollhouse who's articulate, nerdily attractive, and blithely amoral. He's responsible for imprinting and wiping the dolls — and making sure they stay unaware of anything. Is fascinated by the science and kind of digging the illegality. Fun to be around, but might not be remotely trustworthy." I mean come on who couldn't love him, he has a drawer full of inappropriate starches... How many more reasons do you people need!?
Adelle's official character description calls her "very sophisticated" and "cold as an alp." She "runs the Dollhouse with an efficiency that is both ruthless and protective" and "would die before she showed anyone how lonely she is." She's insanely intriguing, I have to wonder how she ended up in the Dollhouse. One of the interesting things about Adelle is that although she's "cold as an alp" we do get glimpses of who she really is or was, in episodes such as 'A spy in the House of Love' where we see Dewitt, secretly as Miss Lonelyhearts, with Victor and in the episode 'Echoes' where we see Adelle 'loosened up' a bit when Topher and her are 'under the influence' truly a great thing to watch.
These two together have a great chemistry and I'm left (after Epitaph One) wondering what exactly their relationship is, has been and how it will develop. This scene serves to keep me guessing (SPOILER)
