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?
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They did the whole-pan-as-leftovers thing in the first episode as well, didn't they?
Yep.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
OTOH, haven't they said something about the imprint only lasting 10 hours?
I don't think so. Hasn't Echo been out on assignment for more than 10 hours?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I think the 10 hours thing may have been dropped during the show development.

Compassionately intolerant
If Mellie is connected to Caroline somehow, I'm voting for her being the one shooting the 'Hi Mom' video.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, it was during that scene that I felt there was a family type connection.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am sticking with my thougts that Mellie is an Active. Also, her cleavage was better. Yay. And yay, that Ballard would call her for his pain meds. Good for you, honey. He knows who you are. (And left you a key? Huh.)
However...bring him a coffee, bring him a candy bar, bring him a big ass chunk of manicotti in Tupperware, but for the love of all women with pride everywhere, do NOT schlep down to the FBI with a fucking huge casserole pan full of homemade food. Because that's just desperate and I feel bad for you, even if you are an Active. Maybe especially, because you probably wouldn't be that pathetic on your own.
Hopefully.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Also, her cleavage was better.
Ha! Erin, I thought of you in that scene!

I have my nits to pick; they are usually boobs.
I just grumbled "Jesus, at least we can see her tits!" which made me feel sexist, but mostly just relieved in a "go, sister, with the better outfit!"-ness.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Ha! Erin, I thought of you in that scene!
As did I.
Also, he told her to go ahead and break in, I believe. I don't believe she's an active, mostly because I doubt they'd spend two actives on one crackpot who isn't believed anyway.
I was irked by the cult having to be bad with guns and crap, especially after watching how Veronica Mars did a nice turn on the stereotype. I did like the Move Your Ass bit though.
