I noticed Echo never poked through her imprint this week. I wonder if the imprint is harder to overcome if it comes from a single source.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
If that were true, Joss is even worse at PR than David Simon. Which I thought a physical impossibility. (Simon famously made the decision not to promote the fact that some of the hot guys on "The Wire" didn't always wear a whole lot in favor of using words like "zeitgeist" and calling the American Dream a "Ponzi Scheme". very smart. The way to sell a show continually on the brink of cancellation? NSM.
Laga,
after the massive reset, she's not supposed to poke through anymore.

Is this from the show, or official? Because I thought it was part of the show premise.
Not that I'm bothered either way--good storytelling can still be done, if they're up to it. I'm just surprised that what we were told was the pitch is so soon no longer it.
Then again, it would put pay to the argument that Echo could never break all the way free, because it would violate the stated premise of the show. Makes me wonder what we know about the stated premise, and how much Joss cares what it is.

From the show. After "Needs," Caroline was supposed to have fulfilled her NEED and stop fucking with Echo. But then in the next episode, Echo asked for an imprint, so it's clear she didn't go back to her blank slate.

Oh that's right. I had forgotten about that.

yes, that's true. So the current theory is that Caroline is working to protect the Dollhouse.
Viewers probably think that Caroline is working to protect herself since the spy she caught was the one person who tried to kill Caroline in the DH.
So the current theory is that Caroline is working to protect the Dollhouse.
The Dollhouse people seem to be thinking that (see DeWitt's reaction to finding out that Echo was helping them) - but I think we had doubt cast on that with Dominic's "one day you'll be erasing them, and even after all this they still won't see it coming". He's foreshadowed her destruction of the Dollhouse. I'm inclined to follow that clue.
yes, I should have said "DeWitt's current theory"
I like the theory that erika linked too. It's pretty much how I have seen the show. I never got the impression that the show was endorsing the icky, evil things that they were showing. The whole verse of the show is corrupt in one way or another.
