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.
Crazy leaking out during quick takes is classic Objects in Space, eh?
THAT'S where I knew it from. I knew I'd seen it before.
Eliza tweets and calls Tim a new name: [link]
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.
Crazy busy weekend, just watched Dollhouse. My thoughts:
unfortunate technological anomaly
BWAH!!! I'm going to start using that for any major screwup
you'll never want for anything
Interesting, that's because you'll never want anything
I was totally right about the prisoner experiment thing!!!
My problem was that he wasn't glitching at all last week. Why now?
maybe because he was playing a role? Just like Echo didn't glitch when she was playing the dead woman.
I'm thinking that the longer that you have many full personalities in your head, the more likely it is that you will have a fight in you head. Now if you put my two sisters and I in one head -- there would be a lot of stupid bickering over tv to watch and books to read. However, under other circumstances we might do ok. We know each other well enough to have some idea of each other's strengths.
With 38 in Echo's head -- I think she'd be ok for awhile -- esp since they all seemed to have an idea of what was wrong. I imagine that after awhile it wouldn't be so peaceful.
There were definitely things I liked about the finale, but since the whole episode could have been solved with offsite data storage, I had to shout at the tv a lot.
I seriously rolled my eyes at Ballard's saving Caroline's wedge.
And Acker's genuinely being a doll, complete with silhouetted dancing scene, leaves gender issues again taking away the female character with skills and background. But it's an interesting character.
