If someone (probably Alpha) can wipe Echo remotely, could that person also be responsible for Echo retaining some memories?
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

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 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!

Well, the two women who are showrunners (Fain/Craft) wrote this one. They dealt with/deflected some of the squick, plotted out a deft storyline that took advantage of the premise and also brought the sharp dialogue.
This one reminded me a little bit of the Global Frequency pilot.

Was Sienna!Taffy wearing comfortable shoes? Because Echo!Taffy sure wasn't. And she did have that line about footwear.
