The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm glad I taped it, I think I missed some things, especially towards the end. How did Alpha get away? Why is Echo still a Doll? Why is Ballard not in the Attic?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

My cynical side still says to me the more shite you make a series, the more people will watch. I hope for the good of humanity I am wrong.

Hmm... Firefly cancelled half-way through its first season.

Andromeda has more than 100 episodes...

Humanity's fucked, mate.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Smallville is still on the air. 8 seasons in?

Mind you, I love Fringe, and that's doing really well for itself. And I'm on to the 3rd series of 30 Rock, 4th (?) of The Office, 4th of HIMYM, 2nd of Big Bang and 5th of Lost so I shouldn't complain.

But I will. Pout.

You didn't miss anything; they didn't explain any of that.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

That was good, but it reminded me a lot of the end of Buffy Season 4.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The Alpha getting away stuff has been cut. A lot. They clearly went over, time wise.

Overall I think it's a great episode. Visually it's better than the other 11 put together. It does have some issues I thought - after getting loaded with all the personalities, they just wipe Echo like nothing has happened, Alpha is a wee bit too mental to follow as a villain and.. Well, why were Adelle and Boyd working for the Dollhouse? What is Topher's deal? Why is Paul so obsessed with Caroline?

I fought the law and I won!

The Alpha getting away stuff has been cut. A lot. They clearly went over, time wise.

Plus the November and Sierra bounty hunter scenes. Will there be a director's cut of "Omega" on the DVD?

I don't believe so. I'm hoping they at least put them in as deleted scenes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When Paul caught Echo's wedge, the words "handsome man saved me from the monsters" came to mind.

I liked it. Found it more affecting than I was expecting, even with Tim at the helms.
