Amy Acker's the mole?

From a character perspective, I'm not sold on the doctor being the mole. From a meta perspective -- Joss hired an actress he had worked with for years, so I have to assume he had some sort of important role in mind for her.

Victor and Sierra are too cute, and Adelle is entirely too smug, so I fear that their attempts here will be an exercise in futility.

Why did they have to put November is such a dull outfit compared to the other escaping actives?

"Not anymore." I'm kind of loving this episode.

I love their real personalities so much more than this blank doll-ness. I agree with everyone who said that it's hard to get hooked on a show where not only do the characters change each week, but our main characters are practically nonentities.

It's official, Victor and Sierra are my faves.

Really enjoyed the immediate display of distinct personalities when the five wake up. Victor being all military and Echo/Caroline being all anti-animal-testing.

I remember watching/listening to the Equilibrium commentary, and how it was noted that the characters weren't totally blank, even though the incomplete lack of emotion was contrary to the world-building, because the director knew that emotionless characters would be boring to watch for two hours. So, there's that inherent problem with Dollhouse, and yet, with Victor, I totally dig it. Perhaps because the actor doesn't play it as blank, but child-like, and his connection to Sierra doesn't hurt.

And omg, OTP!!! Enver Gjokaj is so an actor to watch out for. I want to smish him in all his states of identity.

Seriously, why did it take 6 (5?) episodes of crap to get to this? I understand that some world-building/background had to be set up in the early episodes, but they should have gotten to this point WAY earlier in the season.

I know, the network is responsible for things being re-written and slowed down, etc. I get that. It just irks.

I like the show *much* better now. But I'm still not letting Joss off the hook for his skeevy gender issues.

Also? LOVE Victor.

Victor is definitely my favorite now. I still want to know more about who he was before.

Not being a mother, and not being a mother who's child has died, I didn't quite get Mellie/November's finding of her daughters gravesite to qualify as closure. More like old wounds ripped open anew. Same kinda goes for Sierra. She found Vincent Ventresca and confronted him, but didn't take him down, which doesn't seem like closure.

Then again, knowing how to pinpoint "closure" seems laughable, especially when I don't believe in it.

Victor is Love.

And I totally don't like Sierra. I can't articulate what exactly it is about her, but I cannot stand her.

Also? I wish they'd stop ending the show with a slow-walk sequence set to Meaningful Music. Ack. Ptui.
