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!
Man, just ascend already.

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.

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.

That was my take, Matt. but being stuck on Angry Populist does kind of take the fun out of most celeb chitchat.

Trust my rage
You know what bugged me the most about the midwife? And I know this is sort of my pet issue and I will probably have someone tell me I'm wrong, but I just don't see a woman who wants natural childbirth up in the mountains like that crying "I want to forget!" I mean, it was bad enough that it was a huge anvil to begin with but it also just totally pulled out of the story.
