new ethical question for future episode: if a doll contracts herpes (or any other STD that cannot be "cured" and can be transmitted to clients) are they retired, or does Adelle keep sending them out knowing about potential infection? (and would anyone really care if a dollhouse client paid millions to contract an STD?)
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

They routinely have sex on missions so I'd assume that contraception was standard. I wonder what they do about STDs.
The dolls have a full medical examination after every encounter, probably includes STD tests. The clients probably have to provide medical info, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I just watched the latest episode. I have to say, I am not feeling the love. I find Sierra's story arc extremely problematic.
I did like badass Boyd. He reminded me a bit of Book here.
I am also wondering if all the dollhouses have this level of identity creep in their inmates. Like do other houses have an Alpha in the attic?

did anyone else notice how flimsy her accent was?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
isn't that the actress' real accent? I thought she was Australian.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yep, Australian. Originally from Nepal, I think? Lived there when she was wee, but then moved to Australia & grew up & lived there until a couple of years ago? But with one Ozzie parent, if I remember aright?

It's so wierd that it goes in and out if it's her natural accent.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I remember when people complained about Glenn Quinn's Irish accent and Jane Lees' British accent.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Dichen is my friend - that is how she speaks. So proud of this episode.

There will always be someone very vocally complaining about how fake any accent is. I recall David Nykl getting asked what sort of gibberish he was spouting on Stargate Atlantis by someone who didn't realize he was actually Czech.
