What I couldn't buy was that with just her raging maternal instincts, she knew what house to go to. Especially given that she didn't immediately know how cars worked. What was that? Did she have a personality-bleed from the future?
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Especially given that she didn't immediately know how cars worked. What was that?
yeah, that irritated me. She went from "go? please?" to figuring out how a car works immediately and going to the house. Could I at least get a flash of inspiration or knowledge?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I watched this episode while sleepy and have no memory of these things but have no desire to rewatch, much like what happened with the pop star episode.

Trust my rage
This was actually one of the few episodes that I actually liked and didn't feel like I was watching out of loyalty. I'm a sucker for cute babies and mom-stories, but I also liked the fact that, for once, Echo wasn't having sex as part of her job.

Well, she was the guy's wife, so she might have.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It seemed pretty clear that he was creeped out by her and regretting ever having set up the assignment from very early on, so I'd be shocked if the sex ever happened.

But who wouldn't want to have sex with Eliza Dushku, JZ? Isn't that the thesis statement of the show?

you know, this show would probably get good ratings on Showtime.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh, no thanks. I already felt like I was getting views of Eliza that only her boyfriend and gynecologist should be privy to what with the nano-skirts last season. I'm not ready for her to be on pay cable with the extra skin factor these storylines would demand there.

What is even happening?
This last episode of Dollhouse was the only one I've watched (save the first five or ten minutes of the premiere). I watched it because I have swine-flu-allergies-cancer and the remote was on the other side of the room.
What I took from it -- plot-wise -- is that the mindwipe failed because of the "glandular involvement." So some things got wiped, but other things didn't, that's how she was able to find the house, etc.
The car thing was dumb-ass, though.
I think I can't get into the show because Eliza is a doll. It's never going to work for me, because it is what it is, yo. There's no one for me to connect to. There's no there there. If the overall story was structured such that she'd already become self-aware and started out fighting the house, I think I might have been interested.
I guess I'd rather see Joss do what makes him happy than what makes me happy, so if this is where he finds his resonance, so be it.
Hey, I'd rather see Joss do what makes him happy than what makes me happy, too. I just suspect that, at some point in the future, something that makes him happy will also make me happy.
