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.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

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

Dude, I took Joss's letter about Captivity the other day and replaced 'Captivity' with 'Dollhouse'. I may be having the same problem.

But I think Kevin was saying that they're not always composites, and I don't think we've been told that there are imprints that are 100% one person.

My inferrence from the backup singer one was that she was one person with a subliminal imperative.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't watch the last episode, and reading the posts hasn't made me feel bad about that.

I'm curious--of the episodes aired to date, which is your favourite? Or least-hated, if you're still watching for testing purposes only?

It has been interesting seeing differing perspectives on Dollhouse from people. I follow Twitter a lot, and the general feedback is people love Topher, but opinions are completely mixed about the show. A lot of people hate it. Many love it. The rest seem to like it. This is a good link to keep track: [link]
ita, I like The Target.
