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?

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.
Sitting at a computer manipulating brain waves or whatever is probably easier for him than talking to a woman who is his equal.
I've since seen the bad ATF agent in two things since the Dollhouse ep, and he was skank in both of them.
He wasn't skank in Joan of Arcadia.
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 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.
I am wondering if the episode 6 thing will backfire or not.

I had the same ish, Matt. His reaction wasn't believable. I expect more Beavis, less June Cleaver.
Seriously, it was like he'd made a gaffe and imprinted himself with Betty White's character from The Golden Girls before that conversation.
you funny
Aww, I bought that conversation. I think he's fine about the sex of things, but not around Claire. 'cos he likes her. I had that the other day myself - I'm a pretty foul mouth liberal-speaking British guy, but a lady I like said "anal" and I totally turned into man-reaction Topher. Uhm, I didn't get an erection, btw.
It's a layer of emotional detachment, I think. The things he does to the dolls, he's blocking out.
