I came in late... I get that Echo is a now-deceased friend of Adelle's who was having frequent brain scans (hence the recent imprint), but is Sierra imprinted with another Topher?

He told Echo's handler he needed a subject for some super high-tech diagnostic, and instead he made himself a little friend.

Our wings are not tired.
It is the first time I have found Topher not annoying.
The frequent brain scans were related to her paranoia over someone being out to get her??? I missed that bit of logic.

Trust my rage
Yes, so she would have an up to date back up. I actually really liked this episode.

I really found myself not caring much about the A plot. It was interesting and, in the end, poignant, but here's me, not caring. It was an episode of Law & Order. Not mythology/arc driven, and really, not character driven either. There were minute moments where there was character stuff. But it was paltry.

Ahem. First Adele, and now Topher. God, these people are so isolated and emotionally stunted. I feel sort of sorry for their morally repugnant asses.
BUT DUDE BALLARD. Did you see the look of pure HATE on his face? That was horrible, horrible, horrible. One of the worst rapes on this rape-y show. But I can see how he got there. He's so fucked up in his own head and self-loathing and OMG ugh.
I liked the episode. Next week is looking good, yay. Boyd BETTER win that fight. Way to give the moral high ground to the Dollhouse, BALLARD.

Always Anti-fascist!
I did sort of come to think of ED as those people's mother. But I do agree that Topher and Sierra were more fun to watch.

Interesting in that Adelle was giving a few people their personal wishes (birthday gift for Topher, obviously from the once a year remark).

Yeah, there was a lot of self-loathing in that shower.
Eliza should play dead older women more often. I thought she was pretty good in the role. Enver and Dichen were great as always, though.

I know!
