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.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

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.

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.

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Yeah his saving {Mellie was trying to make up for rape. But in the event the show is renewed, I'll bet the deal has two parts where they let Caroline go if he stops Alpha.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
When he saves Caroline, he will be killing the Dollhouse. h can't kill the dollhouse yet. It is bigger than he thought.

And Amy Acker's a dude. Who'd have thunk it?Does that make me gay? (not that there is anything wrong with that)
I'm wondering how the hell they program an imprint to not notice that its body has changed genders.Or how they can recognize themselves in another body. In Alpha's bunker, with old/new versions of same person, I was a tiny confused.
I liked the jerky edits with Alpha's different personalities and the performancesOh this! Very much. Really hightened the creepiness. Excellently played by AT. And who was the editor? That person had a handful this week, and did an AWESOME job!
"You saved me." Aww.Ya, I did the same "aww". He finally saved Caroline, just not how he wanted to.
So here is a question. The show started out as a way to show off ED, right? I think most of us are in agreement, that the other actors are shining far more than she is. Would the show survive with her just as an Exec Producer? Would she want to? Would Fox can her, but keep the show?

My problem was that he wasn't glitching at all last week. Why now?

My problem was that he wasn't glitching at all last week. Why now?Adrenaline? Hormones from seeing both Alpha & Whiskey? Wasn't ready to be revealed yet? We saw quirkiness, maybe he was just holding it in better.
