They have been made into victims -- or chose it, I guess we'll find out (hopefully) more about the logistics of that, and that's another debate I think that will be sparked more -- but the show is taking up into real people, victims through whatever reason, and how they are going to deal with the victimhood...and how society looks at victims and abuse and how people either encourage it or choose to work against it.

Indeed. This is why, although I am squicked by it, I am still watching it.

Oh, I'm glad that made sense. I am working on coffee, and it seems since I went off the painkillers (surgery, not fun) my brain is a little bit slow and words are hard.

You know, as imperfect as it is, and I am not as into it as Buffy or Angel or Firefly, I am REALLY glad to have a show to analyze again.

and how society looks at victims and abuse and how people either encourage it or choose to work against it.

This is what I find the most interesting. And why I was very happy to see the "man on the street" interviews in the last episode. I think it covered a pretty good set of reactions to what the Dollhouse is and gave viewers a lot to think about, because I'm sure there's lots of folks out there who really don't think about anything other than the pretty. And now they can't help but be informed. I hate that we had to wait this long, though, to finally see that reaction. I blame Fox for that.

I liked the interviews. Hrm -- I really do need to watch this ep again, as it took me about 2 hours at 3 in the morning to watch it via Hulu. (My net sucks.)

My recollection of scenes is thus very disjointed, and I forgot a lot of little things.

Oh! I do remember this -- evidence (well, probably) of collusion in high places. MOTS interviews included a statement from the governor's office denying DH, but later inthe ep, we find out Sierra's last engagement was with the governor's niece in a cancer ward.

Oooh, that slipped right by me! So glad I have you guys to fill in the blanks.

Erin, it's on the Fox website. Without commercials even.

Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw!

Ok, I will rewatch tonight while I'm organizing my tax paperwork. THERE'S a RL horror movie.

Woo-hoo, I snagged 2 tickets to the Joss thing before it got sold out!

Go Nora! I, alas, didn't. I'm going to Maine that weekend, so it wasn't in the cards anyway.

Yay, Nora! That's sounds like a neato evening! You have to tell us all about it (although, realistically, it'll probably be "Saw a guy speak! Said some things! Some things were funny! Some weren't! Went home!" )
