I can't believe that the meta theory is the foundation of the show, or the cornerstone, or even a building block. It was just one of the thumbnail sketches that went into developing the design.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I don't think it is the cornerstone -- the corner stone is more of what I see as the meta story -- what do we really know about that person next to us?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So who's Ballard? TWoP?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
This episode made me cry. Topher and Sierra.
Also, I went to a Dollhouse convention in the UK at the weekend, which was fun considering it hasn't even aired here. Everybody was aheming it.

Topher raping Sierra... Hey the whole consent issue is especially acute with Sierra.
Remember when the series first aired, Allyson predicted Topher would take part of his compensation in time with the dolls? And have one of the dolls channel Willow? I'd say at this point her prediction wins brownie points or a no-prize or something. Prediction one: dead on. Prediction two: like a millimeter from the bullseye.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Topher raping Sierra...
Do we know there was sex? Looked like buddy fun to me. Not saying there couldn't have been sex, but we don't know.

Maybe I misunderstood something, but at the very end of the night after all the buddy fun was over Sierra turn out the light and went into Topher's arms in Topher's bed. You saw the last bit outlined in the window after the light went out. So that is really STRONGLY implied sex.

Or maybe what I saw was blowing out a Birthday cake. So maybe it was innocent, and I'm misunderstanding.
