yes, the inhaler technique bothered me as well. I don't have asthma, but I know how an inhaler works and there were times Eliza didn't even really have it up to her mouth and she certainly didn't breath deeply.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
I don't want to come off as terribly negative about this show -- there's a lot of potential there, and I love the risky concept of the show. It's terribly brave, and I want, want, want it to succeed.
How did they get the imprint of someone who died? Did they get the imprint, and later the person died? I'm getting far too hung up on the implausible logistics of the Dollhouse. I'd think the Actives would end up with multiple personalities because of bits left over, because I can't accept they could record and erase repeatedly without bits being left over.
The thing with the refrigerator didn't strike me as being gender-oriented at all. I was just thinking, "I hope that poor actress isn't claustrophobic. I wonder if they're pumping air into the thing?"
Did they get the imprint, and later the person died?
I assume so, because it didn't seem they'd known she'd commited suicide.
The woman in the refrigerator will remind many comic book readers of Green Lantern finding his girlfriend killed and stuffed in a refrigerator, specifically, and generally it's used as a term to refer to the killing or depowering of female characters as nothing more than a plot device to get a reaction from the male character(s).
Huh, never heard of it before. I only think of people in fridges in a kids-locking-themselves-in way.
I only learned about the women-in-fridge thing here, although I think during Veronica Mars.
I totally missed any scars on Amy Acker's face, although I didn't watch the show in HD. Maybe that's why.
The thing I can't get beyond with this show is way would you want Echo as Miss Penn and not the real thing. I mean, if you have the money to pay for Echo, don't you have the money to pay for a real Miss Penn? And as was obvious in the show, the guy doubted her abilities exactly *because* she hadn't been doing this her whole life. And he was the one paying for her services!
I can understand that under certain circumstances, (like if you are into something shady), you wouldn't want/couldn't get the real thing - so the next best thing is a programmed person I suppose.
It's like "Leverage" I guess.
But in this circumstance, he really could have gotten a real Miss Penn - and ask her not to speak to the authorities.
I like Leverage and I think they've done a good job of choosing set-ups where it makes sense. I guess I just wouldn't trust my daughter's life to some chick who was dancing the night away in the shortest dress ever created the night before.
I was thinking of something. I think that it's not so much that they're wiping the personality and Echo is what's left, it's that they are imprinting Echo's personality over [eliza's character's name].
How could you miss the scars? [link]
I did wonder if they are meant to be relatively fresh with the intention of fading them some over time or if they're older scars.
