On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Like ita, I enjoy a good caper, so I liked this episode. Plus, the actress who played Sierra did a really good job playing Taffy.

I am intrigued that DeWitt reports to someone higher.

I am glad that Emily has joined me in generally liking Topher and being interested in him. I feel like we are in the great minority.

"Sweet Home Georgia." Hee. Paul definitely needs to make some progress, but Victor is amusing.

Oh, and Ivy is Yuki from Dexter ! I knew she looked familiar.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Topher seems clueless. He really seems to have no clue how people act. A clique , but I look forward to him waking up.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I don't think that was a good caper.

Art Crawl!!!

I like a caper flick but it wasn't a good caper.

I wonder what happened to the real Taffi.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've assumed that the imprints are composites, so that there was no one person who was "Taffi".

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

They're not always, Jon, as I understood the pilot.

I like Topher. It's made clear in this episode he knows he's playing with fire I think, but at the same time he totally digs what he's doing. 'cos he's good at it. Our capacity to self justify is always something which has interested me.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

They're not always, Jon, as I understood the pilot.

Is this something that's been aired? Or the thing that is just a script that's been passed around.

I am starting to feel pretty resentful that apparently I should read something that wasn't even on the air in order to make sense of what has been shown. Not on. (not in particular to this point, but I've seen that around a lot, referring to that script as a way to clear things up, and I think that shows some poor regrouping by Fox and the Dollhouse team)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I meant from the aired pilot, not the unaired one. There was this problem with Firefly, like - people didn't even know why the ship was called Serenity at first, Reavers were introduced without having seen their ships or having a good description as to what they were etc.

I think that the woman who'd been molested by the guy was part of Echo's composite identity, but not all of it. I imagine there probably was someone pretty Taffy-esque that they stole from. Like they used "Taffy" as the base personality and then added to it for the specific imprint.

I am starting to feel pretty resentful that apparently I should read something that wasn't even on the air in order to make sense of what has been shown.

For the record, a lot of what was in the unaired script has now been aired. For instance, that scene about the Actives grouping.

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

Nora, they stated in at least two episodes, including this last one that they composite personalities. The hostage negotiator was a chimera, as was Taffy, IIRC.
