Yeah, it really shows what this could have been. Incidentally Ballard's deal is pretty clear. They released Mellie in return for his taking the contract to hunt Alpha. I'm guessing that Caroline goes free when Ballard catches Alpha. He's given up the attempt to destroy the Dollhouse.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Mellie was more important in a personal way to Ballard. Caroline is still the dollhouse.
I am wondering -- is what ever the original Whiskey was ... somehow I fell she s connected to Topher. Someone he could relate to...a sister...a hacker/cracker...He wanted her to look and he wanted her to hate him - like he betrayed her.
I have the last 5 eps I might marathon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hm. I thought it was good but somewhat of a mess. Full of a lot of things, maybe suffered from having things cut. It was a lot to take in. There was a lot of identity stuff that was what I find interesting about this show in the first place, but some of it was weird (is that really what Nietzsche was referring to?) and some of it was too on-the-nose.
Amy Acker is such a cute Doll!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
AA is a hot doll! And I was very "I knew it! She's a doll!" very vindicated from ep1. Good ep on the whole, clearly lots of editing. Was it originally a 2 parter?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Oh, that was supremely awesome. I adored the sheer Minear-esqueness of it.
"You saved me." Aww.
Was it originally a 2 parter?
If not, it really should have been. I wanted the Alpha-Echo scenes to go on forever.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It (Omega) wasn't shot as a two parter. I'm pretty sure Tim said in an interview, however, the first cut went well over time.
Also, Whiskey 1.1 and Alpha flashback is made of pure awesome.
And Amy Acker's a dude. Who'd have thunk it?

I'm wondering how the hell they program an imprint to not notice that its body has changed genders.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Well, I suppose if you can program people you can... program people.
Amy is wonderful in this episode, also.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
P-C, I'm with you actually. It seemed a bit of a mess script-wise, but directed well.
I asked Beau: "So, why did he save Mellie?"
He said, "because he had sex with her."
Yes. it was obvious question and answer night at the Le Nubian household.

I thought it was more a penance for having used her as a Doll. By which I mean, I suppose, he had sex with her.
