Wow, this show just got a whole hell of a lot weirder. I love it.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

You know, I wish they wouldn't give us previews at all. They give away too damn much.

Did this episode strike anyone else as a creepier version of Band Candy?

Yeah, I was just saying to Tom it's the obligatory "everyone goes temporarily crazy!" episode a la Band Candy or that episode in the first season of ST:TNG.
I liked it though. It was great seeing these people (both Dolls and Dollhouse employees) have actual *personalities*. I loved Lawrence apologizing to Echo and all the Adele/Topher stuff.
"She's sending Caroline to punish me." That was interesting.
So... SOP for people who cross Rossum (and who are young and attractive) is to get Dolled up?

I liked this episode, more than last week even, although this sadly had no shirtless Ballard.

I loved Dewitt flopping over the railing in her skirt. Not just once, but twice. Hee.

I really liked the episode too.

Man, I just can't believe I actually liked an episode of this show to the point that I can/want to quote it! YAY!

I absolutely hated this episode. Hated it. Man. I hope the show doesn't do any more like this.

Heh, well there you go- YMMV.
I liked it because first and foremost I got some glimpses of actual character and personalities. There was also some backstory and the circle back to Adele in the room with Sam.
I got invested in everyone there, which has definitely been lacking for me until now.
ETA: I also enjoyed that these arrogant controllers of people's brains not only lost control of the Doll's brains but also their own.
