It's definitely kept me on the edge of my seat more than any of the previous episodes.

I thought it was interesting that they'd program Sierra to be another Taffy. I was kind of hoping to get to see them meet, even if Echo is wiped, to see if it would bring something back.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

A rather enjoyable ep, feels weird saying that! Besides the two twists in the beginning where they went out of their way to tweak anyone's nose on the sex/rape issues. Paul's scene were still too tacked on and far apart enough to make me forget he was even in the ep, and I'm not sure how Adelle thought she was going to give him closure with Viktor going to him and begging for witness protection, so I can only assume that it backfired.

Also, Eliza rather impressed me. Again, feels weird to say that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

If someone (probably Alpha) can wipe Echo remotely, could that person also be responsible for Echo retaining some memories?

I was impressed with Eliza, plus with the actress playing Sierra. While the writing of Taffy could be duplicated, I thought she did a good job getting the same intonation and cadence down as Eliza/Taffy.

Always Anti-fascist!

Pretty awesome...although capers are my very favorite. I'd get wiped to be a hawt safecracker. SJ, possibly.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I just had to share this from TWoP:

Further exposure to Lubov has increased my level of crush. I am now engaging in flocking behavior. I would totally be his buffalo.

Special K: I did like that the hothead that I wasn't even paying attention to turned out to be a decent guy when push came to shove: not wanting a shootout and trying to choose death over that, finding a way for "Taffy" to escape, being a true lover of art. And that the guy that I was enjoying and appreciating turned out to be a cold bastard (while possibly imparting important subliminal messages), when push came to shove. And that Echo, when push came to shove, got the art-lover out at risk to her own life. Wonder what Boyd did with him?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

OKay, still mid episode but I have to say, I'm having issues with the way the Dollhouse runs its business. They find out Echo has been wiped and no one thinks to call her handler?!? EEjits! That is no way to protect the merchandise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They find out Echo has been wiped and no one thinks to call her handler?!?

They did--he was out getting the antiquities guy. They described him as "MIA."

I liked this episode. But I'm another caper junkie. Not least of all was my resounding relief that there was no sex involved. Gratuitous birthing probably didn't hurt.

TiVo's ep description says, among other things, "Adelle makes a shocking confession." Guys? We know Alpha's alive. Topher's the only one that was shocked.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

God, it's nice to hear good things!
