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.

So... I was the only one who caught the Firefly shoutout? Or did I miss that discussion?
To wit: "Did I mention I'd been shot?" With very Mal Reynolds-ish intonation. It was actually cute, the way it entirely failed to charm the other FBI agent.
Dana told me to watch this one, and despite its many logical flaws (like the lipstick on the hitchhiking super-religious blind girl omg), there were no moments where I felt skeeved out.
Could have used more work on the cult, though: it wasn't nearly creepy enough. Or maybe that was the point.
I also wondered what on earth the ATF folks thought: they could totally see that they were watching through someone's eyes, and yet they never said a damn thing. I mean, seriously: they didn't think that was WEIRD?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I missed the shout-out and the lipstick.
I figured the ATF guys were briefed beforeheand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But briefed with what? The doctor that was performing the procedure was shy of it.
