I was kind of overly distracted by the fact that her name was Esther Carpenter...
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I liked the "...and the message is, 'Move your ass!'" and I liked when she just hauled off and hit the dude who wanted to stay and burn. It's... I'm assuming that either her actual personality or some imprinting takes hold when she gets her back up against the wall?
I liked this one pretty well, too. This one and the caper one so far.
Man reaction. Oh, dear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've since seen the bad ATF agent in two things since the Dollhouse ep, and he was skank in both of them.

How can Not!Warren even identify and utilize the parts of an imprinted consciousness that will allow Actives to perform as high-class hookers if he's as arrested in dealing with sex as his conversation with the doctor demonstrated?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sitting at a computer manipulating brain waves or whatever is probably easier for him than talking to a woman who is his equal.

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

He wasn't skank in Joan of Arcadia.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Who did he play in JoA? He looked familiar, but I kept trying not to see him as BatManuel, who is on Lost, anyway.
Pretty much everyone in the plot was in shades of grey -- the cult wasn't capital-E Evil, the ATF leader was crooked but On A Mission, et cetera. Hard to sympathize.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I got sick of all these dudes hitting Esther. However, points for finally a plausible use of an Active.
The Viktor/Sierra thing was good. I liked the Doctor/Topher interactions. I am beyond sick of Lawrence Dominic.
I have toughed it out to get to the much hyped point of OK, now it's gonna be good 6th episode. We'll see.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I am wondering if the episode 6 thing will backfire or not.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I had the same ish, Matt. His reaction wasn't believable. I expect more Beavis, less June Cleaver.
