I just wanted to echo (ha ha) the following thoughts:
- the guy who plays Victor is awesome
- I agree about Whiskey being a code for the doctor
- never would I have thought of AT as scary. But he was scary!
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Where was the Doc during the inhibition/memory-block lowering drug episode? Off screen the whole time?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
they're certainly setting her up that way though. with that and then later with Alpha asking if she always wanted to be a doctor and then telling her she knew that wasn't true
That was Amy Acker, though. The Whiskey comments were to Adelle, right?
And I would never had Guessed that I would find AT scary. Never.
Word beyond word. And it's "wouldn't feel safe in the same room as him" scary on top of it. Damn. Well played, Joss. Well played.

Nope, he was addressing Dr. Saunders.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish I hadn't been spoiled for that reveal. The way it started out I thought maybe it had been a foiler, but there you go. AT was plenty scary, though. I just wish I'd been startled by it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think that is why I am anti- spoil;er. It is often hard to surprise me.. so being shocked, not just surprised is an amazing feeling.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
Well I mean if you work backwards if Victor is now all scarred up, how can he fulfill the rest of his contract? It would make sense to give him a non-Doll job. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as Sierra's handler. Anyway, it makes sense that the same thing happened to the Doc.

Really kinky clients?

I hadn't thought of that, but it's a good idea. I'd miss seeing him do a completely different person every week, though.
(How great was Ballard seeing "Lubov" in the Dollhouse? Heh.)

Yeah, me too. Although, it says a lot that I'm annoyed with myself now for listening to spoilers when I thought I didn't give a tiny rat's ass about this show. It got me!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I'm gonna buck the trend and say I did not enjoy AT in this at all. His buffoonery in the first part practically ruined the ep for me (and it was an important ep). When the reveal happened, I thought, "Huh. That's interesting." But him with Echo? Ick! Also, next week's looks all Natural Born Killers, which I'm so not a fan of. I think I'd have enjoyed it a hell of a lot more with a different actor in the Alpha role. Sorry AT.
