If you don't like it, don't watch ita.
I'm irritated after the fact, Kevin, because I just watched the episode and got caught up in the thread, but we're on this board because we admire Joss's work. That doesn't mean we have to agree with his artistic choices and that doesn't keep us from dissecting things. That's what we do.
Also, I'm a fan of police procedurals, but that doesn't mean I'm a fan of crime.
As far as Dollhouse goes, I wish they had stayed away from sex until the premise was better established. It's either rape or really squicky prostitution. I can think of reasons why someone might want to use an anonymous expert with no memory. A kidnapping expert who wouldn't remember the kidnapping would help ensure it would remain secret. You could need a safecracker with no police record, an antiquities expert or a killer for hire.
The whole rock climbing thing bothered me. No matter how fit they keep them, I don't know how they could have the right muscle strength for all types of sports. No matter what her brain knew, it couldn't give her muscles she didn't have. Also, wouldn't her hands have looked more like raw hamburger? She seems to have retained her manicure.
She seems to have retained her manicure.
Ironically, that was the one thing I noticed in the last bit was that I thought her knuckles looked all barked up. Maybe my brain filled that in.
eta: but, yeah. with you on all the rest...is what I meant to say.
And my god, an erasable hit-woman. No muss, no fuss, no troublesome RICO predicates...what?
Maybe I've said too much.
But I want one.
And they'd make awesome assistants, for people like me or for perverse rich folks who hate confidentiality agreements.
Her knuckles were slightly barked, but that was it. Maybe I'm sensitive because my hands are beat up worse than that most of the time.
I can't reach into a Pringles can without messing up my cuticles.
I really liked how everything was already intersecting and connecting, how we start the story with Echo and not Caroline, and Caroline is a much bigger mystery and more tantalizingly so. How the progression of Echos identity was already starting. The threads were already woven and the premise and overarching plot were already moving.
Yeah, that script was a much better introduction to the characters and the concept than "Ghost" was.
Unless he makes an overt move, I don't think I would shoot, otherwise it would feel like I could have done something else than kill him.
Huh. If someone's had sex with me and then started trying to kill me by chasing me with a bow and arrow, my instinct is to stop the fucker, forget the talking.
Admittedly, I have spent a lot of years yelling at people in horror movies, and it's easy to talk big when I'm not the situation.
As soon as I saw that they were rock-climbing, I was waiting for Suela's critique.

Okay, that made me guffaw.
I handwave that because she drank the drugged water. In fact my problem is the opposite. She was pretty damned effective for someone druggecd enough to be having hallucinations.
