It's so mysterious I don't even realize there's a mystery, and just end up bored. And that's just wrong when we're talking about Tahmoh.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'd like an episode where Tahmoh doesn't have to take his top off and they actually give him some acting to do. Radical, I know.
They apparently don't give us any Paul backstory this season, which is knobish since I can't see there being another due to the ratings. He's like Paul from The Inside - nice enough, but back the fuck off, kthxbai.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
It was a weird episode. Caroline-manque's storyline interested me, and I like how consistent it was with what we've seen before (right down to the lack of a clear exit strategy). November's was kinda meh -- at least it gives a reason, which I like. Sierra's... wow. It definitely points up the EVIL EVIL EVIL, especially as she'll presumably be sent back to him again. And the fact that they're not all volunteers.
Thing is, I'm okay with it being evil, even with semi-sympathetic characters who just aren't questioning enough... I'm just afraid of it having the Spike-in-Season-? problem of sometimes-Evil inconsistency.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I was thinking about this. Actually, none of them are volunteers. They seem to be put in a situation of imprisonment, and given the option to "choose" to be a doll. Don't know if that counts as volunteering. And what happens if the person is ugly?

That's what Dollhouse: UK would look like.

I think I'm going to close Dollverse. The ick is too much for me. I'm trying to work out if it's okay to say something about it on the way out of the room, or if I'll look like an ass.

Well, shit. I have to say, I would happily trade away Dollhouse to get another season of Sarah Connor Chronicles. At least based on what I've seen of DH to date. In part because SCC is doing some stuff that's really interesting, in ways I haven't seen any television do. It's a kind of creativity I wish could be fostered.
