God, his eyes freak me out. What colour would you say they were?

Blue. Otherworldly, clear, light, bright blue. He's an alien.

Yeah, I agree that Topher's "for a little while!" is kind of chipper and creepy.

I thought that it was supposed to allot for their missing time.

Yeah, I like it because, as I said, it's obviously supposed to be comforting. And I think Topher sells that.

I was surprised that Boyd didn't do the "everything's going to be all right" when he came to get Ester!Echo

Shame on Tim for not using it.

I agree! I was waiting for it, too.

She's jealous of Caroline like Agent Helo is looking for a DATE or something. He is an FBI agent. She is a missing person. Geez.

Clearly, that hussy arranged to disappear as part of a fiendish plan to get her claws into Mellie's manAgent Ballard!

The Mellie character is very off-putting to me. I merely thought she was pathetic at first appearance, but the jealousy of an FBI missing persons case makes me think she may have a candlelit shrine to Ballard in her apartment. Possibly replacing the candlelit shrine to the mailman or building maintenance guy that preceded it.

Well, if I lived next to Tahmoh I'd probably be bringing him pie. And I'm not even gay. It's all in the jaw porn.

I like Mellie. Or at least I want to, and I hope we get reason to. She's hella pretty. They did the whole-pan-as-leftovers thing in the first episode as well, didn't they?

I'd likely bring him manicotti and pie. Good neighbor that I am. I'm assuming there is more to Mellie. My theory is that she's Caroline's sister (or enemy not sure which) and is hanging close to find out information to aid her own search.

I watched the last 2 this weekend because I missed last week. They were better than the first ones, but not must watch tv. They didn't piss me off, so that is a clear improvement.

But would you bring manicotti to his office?

The last two have been interesting to me in that I was much more into the main plot and Eliza's performance and much less fond of the stuff going on behind the scenes at the Dollhouse, a reversal from earlier episodes.

I think that she's an active that's been placed there to keep an eye on Ballard. OTOH, haven't they said something about the imprint only lasting 10 hours?

Would it really be worth it to the Dollhouse to devote two actives to keeping Ballard in the dark? Particularly sending one of them into an FBI facility where her face would be all over security cameras?
