"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I was hoping Boyd's reaction that made me hurt myself laughing was because that was his conscious decision as opposed to him being drugged, but even so the DOLLHOUSE version of The Naked Time was a big winner for me.

Yeah, I think Boyd was feeling the juice by then. I was surprised to see him play the piano! The man has layers.

Yet another moment that made me hurt myself laughing. AWESOME!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, he went under, but the only people who came out of it during the action were Sam and Boyd.

Ah, Boyd. The love is large. As with Victor. And Sam. And Topher's pants. Like, he should never take them off again. I had to shield myself.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Wow. This show had the funny in the midst of the truly evil and awful. I'm not sure why I do not have a drawer of inappropriate starches.

Victor had something that I thought of as a Xander moment - put you guns here. now ( slaps desk)

and I needed to know how Caroline got in the dollhouse. There was a big disconnect for me because the college video seemed not to be of someone that could get in trouble.

Thinking about the whole 'band candy' style show -- this is the place where it belongs. The dollhouse is messing with minds -- so it should bite them in the ass so to speak

( no no it's the name of an animal)

and I agree with ita -- Topher should keep his pants on.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I liked this episode. It brought on some funny, and it actually filled in some of the holes that have been bugging me. But FTR I still don't like Topher.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

So the drug not only removed inhibitions towards their behavior (or whatever psychobabble was spouted at the beginning), but it seemed to make the actives relive some of their worst memories. Echo remembered her boyfriend being shot and, we assume, dying, Sierra remembered being raped by her handler, Mellie remembered being attacked, and Victor remembered... something that required SWAT-type gear and explosions. I'm not remembering - was the problem that the drug was defective, or just that it was released? Because I can't think of too many positive uses for something that makes you relive your worst nightmares. On the other hand, if you just want to fuck over someone's mind, then it seems to work pretty well.

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

Adelle needs to be drugged up every week. "You must admit I'm very...British."

I enjoyed the episode too. I liked the actor who played Sam, so I'm glad it looks like he's going to be back. And while I don't care about Echo, I do seem to care about Caroline. I'm intrigued by her backstory.

And I am placing my bets now that her old boyfriend is Alpha. It would explain why he left her alive.
