I think we're meant to be moving towards sympathising with her. This is going to take some hardcore writing to effect, of course. She doesn't seem to have a single sympathetic character trait at the moment.

Yeah, I definitely think she's being written more sympathetically, especially with the line about the Dollhouse helping Rossum's "important research." We're meant to believe she really does have the best intentions.

After Epitaph 1, I'm not sure how much we really can sympathize though.

It got the lowest ratings to date. Hopefully the next round of advertising will have, I don't know, the right date and time on them.

Biceps and a conscience can be a powerful combo.

...that actually summarises a rather wide swathe of the fictional men I go thunk over.

Alexis Denisof YAY!!!

ADs natural voice is still weird to me.

I was really engaged and entertained by ED this week!

The husbands story was not as engaging as it could have been since it was telegraphed, or at least easily apparent, where his story would end, and I was just waiting for them to get there and for the other shoe to drop elsewhere in other storylines.

Kind of annoyed at the losing-a-baby theme (but this is mostly my annoyance at all shows that work out character issues through the plot, usually in a ham-handed fashion), except that together there was the subtle difference in characters. One so debilitated by grief that they gave up their mind and body for five years and now a weird Stepford wife, and the other, while not quite as wrecked in that particular instance, but far greater in the sum of all the other lives known and lost, unwilling to trade the grief for emptiness.

So, Topher is a genius who doesn't think through his actions. But for Adelle to have allowed the "glandular" enhancement without testing? Sending a brand new discovery out on a mission with no idea of the side effects? The ugly hair has contaminated her brain.

ADs natural voice is still weird to me.

This is where I again say that AD reminds me of Stephen Colbert, both looks and voice. THAT'S who AD's natural voice reminds me of (and I think there is a physical resemblance).

ADs natural voice is still weird to me.

His English accent is better than his American. I wish I could remember what he sounds like in regular conversation.

But for Adelle to have allowed the "glandular" enhancement without testing?

The previews for next week look like another majorly bad judgment call.

In shallower news, when Tahmoh sat down in the chair at the start of the episode, his quads did things that should be illegal.

That baby was ridiculous. His cute-itude as he goggled at the cameraman and the DP and any actor in his line of vision and cheerfully grinned the grinniniest grin in Lower Southern Grintovia kept throwing us out of the episode.

We had to go rewatch his startle reflex at the mobile (followed by merry mirth) three times.
