So...was I the only one who was exhausted from dodging the anvils?

To be honest, anything Joss does tends to be full of them. I'm okay with it usually.

I just checked, I'm wrong about the 'previously on' for this episode containing this episode's scenes - it's actually last episode's Previously On which contains this episodes scenes.

I don't remember anything this anvilly since "Wrecked."

Can't stop the signal!

I'm midway through and these anvils are so anvilly they HURT!

Of the three I've seen, this was my least favorite. I won't go out of my way to watch again. If I'm home for #6 I'll probably tune in just to give it one more shot.

Oh god, THANK YOU.

Was Topher's confidante (sorry, can't remember her name) the same actress as Agent Lee on NCIS*? For a little while I thought she was going to turn out to be the remote wiper, but maybe they just wanted to show some more human interaction for Topher.

Okay, it's time for me to admit it. I kind of like him. Yes, his dialogue is a little too cute -- I did expect Adelle and wossname to tell him to shut the hell up and get to the POINT already -- but it's the kind of dialogue I always loved on Jossy shows. "They're a little bit bison" made me crack up.

And yes, morally he's either part and parcel of the EVIL or so focused and unsocialized as to be emotionally disabled. But in a totally "I'm tired of thinking about the morality of this show" way, I like him. He makes me laugh.

(* Aha! Ivy, Liza Lapira, and yes! I'm always so happy when I make those connections.)

He's like Ben on LOST, for me. They're loathesome characters, but also the most interesting parts of their respective shows, to me. So while I want them to die bloody, I don't want it to be soon.

This episode also featured the dude who played the fear demon in Angel's Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been? (Tony Amendola)

In unrelated news, Dollhouse's ratings dropped again.

I found last week's way more anvilly than this week. Last week barely seemed to have a story. This one interested me, which helped.

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?

The guards opened it just before Taffy stuck the guy with the drug that made him convulse and shoot up the place. Then Taffy threw a flash-bang smoke grenade, grabbed the art-lover, and hauled him through the way they'd entered.
