I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Could he have been right about what she's becoming, even ifmistaken about himself?

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

that's probably what happened with Alpha. In the beginning, he was calm and reasoned, like Echo, but then the personalities started to conflict. I loved the "I'm not bluffing" "I'm not either" "I am!" bit.

I thought of something else ( gets hand ready to wave )

Okay, so the reason that Topher knew that Alpha had used the Whiskey imprint was that the capacity of the wedge had been reduced (assuming that was the significance of showing us that the number was .1) Ergo, using an imprint empties the wedge, like moving a file from your desktop to a thumb drive. If that is in fact the case, then Caroline's wedge is empty, because Alpha transferred her into Wendy's body and then killed Wendy's body before the imprint could be transferred back. So, Caroline is dead, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I couldn't quite figure all that out. I can't believe Caroline is dead, or else there would have been no purpose at all in saving the wedge. If the wedge were useless, it would have been made clear that Caroline was gone and there was no hope of getting her back.
