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!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is this week's client the Middleman?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I doubt the Dollhouse would intentionally hire echo out for a job like this where they stand a high risk of losing their investment. Think Keeslar hired her under false pretenses, pretending to be an extreme hiking enthusiast when he really wanted to hunt the most dangerous game?

I was thinking about that, Matt. The handler also doesn't seem to have expected this.

Tonight's dialogue feels more Joss-like. Though I missed the writer's name.

Matt, I think so.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The writer's credit was DeKnight.

Is this week's client the Middleman?

OMG! I was trying to place him, and just kept coming up with a Benton Fraser vibe.

Also, why drink from a canteen you discovered under a jacket when there's fresher water out of a tap?

Our wings are not tired.

Not very pleased with the direction this is going. I promised myself 3 episodes, but I might not come back for more.

I think that's the fatal flaw, there. If there's something that's not getting "erased" so that the active can retain the memory of trusting their handler, then that's probably how artifacts can get left behind...

Trust my rage

I think it is seriously creepy and not something I would normally watch.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

This is a much better episode than the first, imo. It feels more Jossverse.
