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?
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

"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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
He had sex with her AFTER he knew she was a Doll. He gets a pass from me for the previous rolls in the hay.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, I'm with you actually. It seemed a bit of a mess script-wise, but directed well.
Yeah, I had no problems with the direction; I liked the jerky edits with Alpha's different personalities and the performances. I expounded on some of my issues with the script here.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I wondered, on seeing November, if Ballard had asked for Echo to be let go and been told "no". (But mostly, Echo doesn't get to leave in case the show gets renewed...)
If Ballard joins the Dollhouse, does he give up on the whole 'saving Caroline' thing, or will he continue to do so in more, well, creative ways?
I liked the jerky edits with Alpha's different personalities and the performances.
Ooh yes. Creepy.
