Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Surely there was a more likely anvil they could have used for rebirth and forgetting. Echo could have been overhearing a conversation or working at a hospital but not as the midwife, particularly not as the midwife in a remote cabin. How much information can they dump into those brains, anyway? Enough for any medical contingency? Also, we could have so lived without the heavy breathing intro.

It occurred to me that Victor could have been reprogrammed as an Active after Paul first met him, either by force or after the same threat of exposure.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

FOX have been running an ARG (Alternative Reality Game) for Dollhouse over the last few weeks with people. It's finally wrapped. There's a recap of what happened here: [link]

It's arguably spoilers.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I agree about the midwife thing. They do amazing work, but those people could have hired a good one for a few hundred bucks. Next week: a rich maniac hires Echo to be the perfect fry cook!

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

I thought the point of the midwife is that the house was so isolated. They had to have the best because they couldn't get to a hospital. Echo probably had a whole backup OB/Gyn training in there.

Maybe they were famous...Angelina flew her Ob-Gyn from LA to France, after all.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I haven't made it into the thread until today. I'm surprised at the length of some of the discussion. pretty much - Dollhouse is evil. Yes, I would call the sex rape -- however as echo/caroline remembers that might be only a small part of the whole of the evil that has been done to her. If She remembers all the skills and experiences plus how she got that way I can see a female batman-style superhero.

I like the show, but I'm not in love with it. But then buffy was my first show that I fell head over heels with. At this point I have a few questions ( What could happy little caroline college have done to get in so much trouble? Why is Paul obsessed? how Could echo's handler get involved in something he doesn't approve of? ) I'd like answers to , but I don't think they'll keep me up at night.

I actually liked fridays episode because is showed Eliza at her best -- she was two ( and maybe 3 different people if you looked at the rescue of the one guy) and I like capers.

I think I read that at the time that the twins were born...of course it could be a rumor, le n.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Boy, sucks to be a normal person who shares an OB/GYN with Angelina Jolie and is scheduled to deliver on or close to the same date.

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

I'm sure the OB/GYN gets paid enough not to overlap dates by much.
