Then Joss does a comic book for S2 because he's just not done with the stories in that world.
Or he can do a series of skinemax television movies.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
So, is everyone is agreeance that's Mellie is (a) a Doll and (b)the name makes you think of Gone With the Wind and (c) if she's not a Doll, needs to be cluesticked AND made over?
Cute girl, but dude, not every semi-plump chick lives in hippie skirts and oversized cardigans (TARA!), Joss.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
In fairness to Joss, he didn't dress her, Shawna did, nor did he write or direct the episode she's introduced in, nor is he the showrunner, so it might not be his fault.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wait, he's not the showrunner? Who is?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So, is everyone is agreeance that's Mellie is (a) a Doll
I was wondering about that -- you think?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Mellie and Viktor both being dolls is a bit much. Well, it's affording Paul a great deal of respect, and I don't quite get the vibe that they fear him that much so far.
But before the Viktor reveal I did think she was one.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
if she was an active she'd be Mike.

Viktor's the only instance of an Active we've seen out and about without a fake name, isn't he?

I DO think she's a Doll. I mean, I think sending in the Russians is a ploy to have Ballard think that the Russian mob is connected to the Dollhouse -- which, who knows, might be, but I seriously doubt it's behind it; a tool, if nothing else.
Mellie is keeping-an-eye-on backup. Misdirection AND a watchful eye -- seems likely.
Oh, I'm sure Joss didn't dictate frumpy flowy clothes, but I get so tired of seeing as non-verbal shorthand. Although I suppose, tactically for the mission parameters, it would also work to lull Ballard into think "low self-esteem chunky harmless."
Which totally makes me want to see Mellie in some hot pencil skirt, tight sweater combo with some mad wit and ninja skills. Le sigh. I like her tooth gap. It's sexy.
