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.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

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.

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

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

Was Sienna!Taffy wearing comfortable shoes?
They both wore the crazy leather boots with the pencil-thin 4" heels. I can't decide if that line was supposed to be ironic or not, because they both said it straight, with no hint of irony. As if the costumer didn't see the script.
I was bugged by the fact that the distraction in the beginning had to use Echo as a hooker, and that I couldnt' figure out how they got out at the end. The door they entered through was bolted shut and the guards had them trapped; so how did Echo and wassname get out?

...so, basically it was better because it wasn't Joss?
That's...wow. That's pretty disheartening, given that his name is the reason I've been waiting for this show for the past year.
Arse.
