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

Totally!

Hated it also. And yes, why was Echo dressed like an underage anime character?

The guy whose fantasy she was supposed to be (presumably he's still handcuffed to his bed) had a motorcycle just like Kaneda's from Akira. I bet the Japanese schoolgirl wardrobe was specified in his contract with the Dollhouse.

Now they need to do a body-switch episode where all the imprints get inside the wrong Actives! Hilarity ensues!

Does Victor have the legs to pull off wearing Echo's nano-skirts?

Enjoyed it, except Echo/ED annoyed the crap out of me from beginning to end. And if I saw a video on youtube showing animals in cages at a lab, I'd be no more outraged than when I see them in cages at the mall. Which is to say I would be, but not in a "bring down the company!" way.

Don't understand the Sam-love. I found him very vanilla.

Looks like Victor was a soldier in a desert war/situation.

Most unsurprising news ever - the ratings were terrible last night. It almost got beaten by Terminator.

My problem with Echo in this episode wasn't so much Eliza's acting, it was the writing. The character of Alice? Blah. They gave Eliza nothing to work with. And then when she started to glitch, instead of giving her Caroline-like lines... they gave her nothing.

The drug made the average person lose inhibitions. For the dolls it was different -- it brought back the traumatic memories that were blocked, that presumably can't be erased as easily.

yes, this. I suspect you can't be a doll without some personal trauma.

doesn't work very well on black people.

Yeah, I noticed this. I was also on board with the "Oh noes, he's a redshirt." "Oh noes, he's untrustworthy!" But shallowly, and unrelated to the narrative, glad to see him coming on board.

(presumably he's still handcuffed to his bed)

Hentai fan?

I did like seeing the additional layers to the villainous characters. It's good for them to be less opaque at this point in the series.

I loved the early competence of the imprinted characters, especially the bit with Victor outranking whoozit. I thought they were going in a different (and I think ultimately more interesting) direction, where the handlers were incompetent and essentially at the mercy of the imprints, who would then handle the situation and rescue the dollhouse folks, thereby ensuring their continued captivity.

But oh, well.

And Topher's pants. Like, he should never take them off again. I had to shield myself.

Also, this. I mean, seriously, people, of all the people available to take their pants off on this show. There was a point at which I was desperately casting my eyes about the rest of the set, searching for his pants so I could tell him where they were and to put them back on.

I found myself staring at his cock. Or, more likely, his man stuffing.
