"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"kill a serial killer" - you mean after he chased Echo in the woods and killed some DH personnel?

"save the girl from being abused" - yes, but was DH necessary for this task? Seems to me that traditional law enforcement might have achieved the same ends.

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

I loved the guy on the street talking about sleeping with another guy, and the slowly changing expression of the woman who was with him. Comedy gold.

Ya, that was pretty awesome.

Well, they did save the girl from being abused and kill a serial killer.

Eh, that was a fluke, IMHO. That was *not* their inclination until Handler Guy persuaded them. He's the only force of good in that place. Which of course begs the question of WTF he's *doing* in the house of evil.

Is it at all possible that Caroline is the inside person? It just seems weird to me to be going in the direction of her agency coming through to add yet ANOTHER layer of her being used as a tool. I don't know how it would be possible, but I wonder.

Dude, Handler Guy is Inside Guy! I don't know why I didn't think of that before, but I just did.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Why wouldn't Boyd just go to Paul himself, Erin?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Why wouldn't Boyd just go to Paul himself, Erin?

Because he knows that the DH peeple are watching Paul closely and doesn't want to blow his cover?

"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

I was rewatching and I forgot about the guy who wanted to be wwith another guy. that cracked me up.

When that cutaway aired I laughed and yelled "You don't need the Dollhouse and millions of dollars for that! You just need a fishing buddy and a case of beer!"

Because of the...being killed ded by a powerful shadow organization... thing?? The same reason that anyone who could have tampered with the programming wouldn't have?

Well, I haven't thought it through all the way; it was an out of the blue thought. Because...hmm, anytime tou have a high-power, low-profile organization like this and you want to bring it down, legally and practically, you have to cut the head off the snake, right? This seems like a hydra; lots of huge backers, international, multinational, and also, it's TV land and Jossland; maybe there some type of weird Rambaldi kinda twist coming, so there might even be reasons behind it that are more nefarious than the usual nefarious human power type reasons. So you work on multiple levels, to get information to lead you back to the real players, whoever they might be.

And also, if you're trying to bring someone or something down, all of the players, even (maybe especially) if they're on the same side, don't know who each other are.

I'm totally pulling this out of my ass.
