I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, it was Ballard's place, wasn't it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

My answering machine keeps me from having to talk to telemarketers.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I finally caught this weeks episode. Not much to add that hasn't been said. So I'll make a geek/tech observation. Did anyone see a reflection of cameraman in the kitchen in the beginning?

Um, can't Alpha be logically the inside guy? I mean, he can do all the techie-wowie "Sweet crunchie geekery, it cann BE DONE!" stuff. All the imprint stuff could probably be hacked into with the right skills, and it seems like Aplha has a vested interest in Echo. She's a sleeper agent who is asleep, but who seems to be about to wake up.

Also? Love that Mellie and Paul got together and was v. happy she kicked pervo's ass.

Interesting take on the Mellie/Paul sex. Technically, it's nonconsensual, since Mellie doesn't know it's happening. However, it's also nonconsensual for Paul, since he would presumably, given his whole crusade, not have sex with a Doll.

So sadly I come to the conclusion that neither Mellie or Paul were raped by the other; but the Dollhouse raped them both using each other's unknowing bodies.

Man the rape is convoluted on this show.

Did anyone else notice a similar gleam in Echo's & November's eyes when they were just about to kick some serious ass or am I reading too much into it?

I'm confused. Sierra's child abuse? Did I miss something? Or are we just talking about her rape as child abuse because of the way she couldn't consent?

And yeah, it's really weird the way the DH employees think it's rape if the active is in the house, but not rape if they're outside the house, even if in neither instance could they be considered to have legally consented.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It is kind of funny that they were concerned about lingering effects for Sierra when it's business as usual for them to wipe Echo's mind clean of traumatic experiences like being the Most Dangerous Game or having sex with Patton Oswalt.

I think Patton Oswalt is adorable & not only because he's my birthday twin.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Um, can't Alpha be logically the inside guy? I mean, he can do all the techie-wowie "Sweet crunchie geekery, it cann BE DONE!" stuff.

Echo said the inside person was not the same person who send Ballard the photographs. Why would Alpha lie about that?
