I'm wondering how the hell they program an imprint to not notice that its body has changed genders.
Sanders V2.0 is not a Margeret like situation where it is the same person in the old body. It is a new person based on the old Sanders, with I presume the main stuff being preserved medical skills plus loyalty to the Dollhouse. Probably both major personality similarities and differences.
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.
This WAS Margaret like - the same person in a new body. For Caroline subjectively this was only a few minutes after being recorded. She figured out quickly it was not her body, and recognized herself from having looked at herself in the mirror the last time she brushed her teeth, or the last time she used the women's room.

If they can make it so that they don't recognize other changes, why not gender?
I liked the jerky edits with Alpha's different personalities and the performances.
Crazy leaking out during quick takes is classic Objects in Space, eh?
I guess I was going by the notion that Saunders was still essentially whole inside Whiskey's brain. I can see imprints being programmed not to notice that unfamiliar facial features are looking back at them for the few days an assignment takes, but we haven't seen any cross-gender imprint/active setups before. And given the long-term nature of Whiskey's current assignment it would seem like a LOT of personal experience would have to be completely rewritten.
It's very interesting that Echo/Omega was quite functional and apparently sane despite having 38 different imprints in conjunction. Because I'd assume that situation would result in an incoherent mess a la Alpha even without pre-existing craziness in the physical brain. Could he have been right about what she's becoming, even ifmistaken about himself?

Not explicitly, but I'd assumed that some parts, if not most could be stolen from across the gender divide.

THAT'S where I knew it from. I knew I'd seen it before.

TimDawg, being a fluorescent beagle, natch.

That's an interesting idea. I don't see that Ubermensch thing playing out with her, but I could see Echo becoming as real a person as Caroline. Which would be interesting.
