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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why is there this huge milky glass modesty wall around the showers?

Maybe not all the employees, like the Tai Chi instructor, or whoever, have the same kind of Naked Shower Videotape privileges that Dr. Fred and Creepy Computer Guy have. And therefore don't have privileges to watch the full monty in person when Actives shower, either.

Anyway, speaking of cameras and Mellie. What intelligence would you get from having an Active waiting for Ballard at the door all day?

If she's an Active, she can manage to get him into conversation and maybe get details in a way that surely wouldn't happen if there was just a camera in his apartment, unless he walks around his apartment talking out loud to himself, being General Exposition.

Well, not everyone who works at the Dollhouse is a doll. Plus, they need some sort of wall around a shower to keep the water in and have some place to put the towels.

Nah. It's lost that new snark smell.

On the "A to Z" as far as number of actives goes - why are there only five beds for them (as the credits so prominently show)? Are there beds on other levels? Or are there only five actives who are, well, active at a time?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think we've seen more than five--Victor, Sierra, Echo and more than two others. Perhaps it's just five to a room.

Also, I'm wondering if it's going to turn out that the Dollhouse is some kind of black ops unit that's gone "for profit". It would explain the rather casual linkage with the ATF that just happened, and possibly why they'd handle Paul with kid gloves, so to speak.
