It was a good episode. And lots of good lines. Boyd's: "We're pimps and killers. But in a philanthropic way. "
A thought: you notice that Topher never tries to bullshit Adelle? He told her that imprinting Echo was Echo's suggestion. He has admitted errors to her in the past. Does he have the emotional intelligence to figure out that trying to cover up your mistakes is usually worse than making them? Or did he try it when he first joined, and Adelle broke him of the habit?
the latter. definitely the latter.
Speculation based on the promo for the next episode:
So the Dollhouse can extract a person's memories after death? What if they salvaged the memories of Caroline's boyfriend Leo and at some point Alpha was imprinted with them? It would explain his obsession with her and it would make their eventual meeting much more personal.
They really need new promo people.
Oh, hah! I just noticed who Sierra sits next to on the train.
What do you mean, who? It's the person whose identity she steals.
I think it's Maurissa, aka Groupie number 2 or whatever she is in Dr Horrible.
Oh, really? Ha, nice. IMDb says she was Groupie #1.
I've sent her an email asking, so it better had be her otherwise I'm going to look like a complete knob.
I want to know how they could predict what she was going to wear that day and obtain an outfit just like it for Sierra. If they'd been planning the operation for months in advance and had a complete duplicate of her working wardrobe available it'd be one thing, but that operation looked off the cuff.
