I loved Echo wanting to kick the other handler's ass. I'm sure that Boston types also loved "I'm a Southie"
Isn't Eliza from Boston?
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

I loved that the Russian informant for Agent Helo is also an active!
This is the first ep that really grabbed me. Yes, the pop diva stuff was anvilicious, but all the Dollhouse stuff (and the inner minds of the Actives when they aren't active) is starting to intrigue me.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Anvilicious, and the plot required way too many contortions to make sense.
Can't we just skip to the point where the show starts getting good?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought "I'm a Southie" was referring to left-handedness. Duh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Interesting. Best moment was the shaking off of Sierra I think, as several already mentioned. At least I had a brief flicker of sympathizing with the character.
eh. I dunno. It kinda reminds me of the last two seasons of Buffy. Some interesting ideas, but heavy handed, anvilicious, even a bit sadistic, and morose.

I think if the actress playing Sierra were the lead, I'd dig the show so much more.

Was that actually ED singing? Because she sounded pretty good, actually.
I liked that Echo transferred her loyalty from Rayna to Sierra: she was looking at the picture of Rayna when she was talking to the manager, and I think that her personal loyalty was already trumping her programming.
Loved the head-shake, which also means that Sierra might be remembering things from one session to the next as well, because it wouldn't mean anything to her otherwise.
Still not awesome. But... interesting.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I think if the actress playing Sierra were the lead, I'd dig the show so much more.
Yeah.
I think the stuff (and characters) inside the 'house is interesting, and the missions... not so much. I bet that episode gets a low Nielsen number. Although FOX's number one show by a huge, huge margin is American Idol, so maybe I'll be wrong.

I cannot imagine even a Beyonce-famous singer making enough money to be able to afford the Dollhouse's fees for a short-term bodyguard. Echo's per-hour rate would be higher than hers!
I think if the actress playing Sierra were the lead, I'd dig the show so much more.
Our mileage definitely varies on that, I think she's awful.
