Anyone seen the new Comcast ads, where the FX look very similar to the opening of Doll House. Coincidence ?

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people ARE.

I liked this episode the most of any of them so far. At least it felt like we got more of a glimpse into who echo is.

That's not to say the "go on mission...mission goes wrong...find solution on the fly" formulas isn't getting old. Heck would it be that bad to have a mission that goes according to plan? I'm fairly certain they can push the morality angle and make interesting episodes.

Oh well at least I'm a little more impressed.

I agree - best ep yet. I found it pretty damn watchable, particularly given my estimation of the show 'til this evening.

'Nother thing - Sierra (Dichen Lachman) is a lot more fun to watch when she's got a lively imprint on board. Seems like we mostly see her wandering around the Dollhouse looking vacant. And when Sierra looks vacant, she really looks vacant.

ETA: "But I learned to lap dance." That line's a small example of another cool thing about this ep - the dialogue was a lot snappier, more...Firefly-esque.

It was like that when we got here!

I think I need to pay more attention to the opening of Dollhouse.

I'm not proud of this, but for some reason the Comcast ads sorta give me the willies...

So at the end of each episode we see that she retains something from her assignment even after being wiped. Tonight it was her drawing the painting in the steam on the mirror.
It's intriguing. But I want to know when that's going to become significant. For now it's more of a "huh" moment.

I wasn't that impressed with tonight's ep.

Did I hear DeWitt correctly when she told the prospective client that only the client knows all the details of the engagement? If that is what she said then it makes no sense. How would they know how to imprint the active for that engagement?

With last week's episode, it wasn't until I watched it a second time that I appreciated it. (translation: I didn't like this much at first glance, still trying to work up some more like). I think the same may be true here. Course, I came straight from viewing Watchmen, with a very deep and complicated message of its own, so my brain may have been a little burned out.

Though I don't think the job was believable, I liked the idea of the delivery of a baby echoed (pun not intended, but inevitable) later in the episode with the remote wipe and Echo entering a newborn-like state, at least according to how Topher described it. The discussion of art was pretty cool as well I thought. I've studied Picasso, but I would not consider myself an admirer (of the person especially, but of most of the art as well). This episode made me rethink that a little.

Adelle... there's more to her than we saw in the first episode or two. She's very protective, and not just as a businesswoman I don't think. I wonder what it's like for her to be the imperfect ambassador for so many "perfect" people.

Hi Gang,

For this ep, I really liked the opening where we come into it just before a wipe. For me it's fun to figure out just how it'll fit into the storyline and what's going to happen next.

I also believe we're starting to get more complex eps as well. I agree that we're getting much more about DeWitt and that there's a lot more than what's on the surface. I don't think that Alpha had anything to do with the wipe of Echo. Doesn't make sense. In the last ep we get that he lets her live and now he puts her in harms way.

I'm not seeing it. I may be wrong but if he lets her live why do this. There's more to this that will be revealed much later. I agree also that the dialogue was much snappier. Hi marks for whoever wrote this ep. This one felt much more cohesive and finally we get a rise out of Sierra. Good ep all around.

Agreed, they need to have an assignment go right, just to change things up a bit. Although technically the opening sequence did go right. I'm not sure just where Joss is going with this because we already know that Echo is special and that she's retaining bits and pieces of her assignments, so we don't have much invested at the moment other than that.

Hey, that's it.....he's taking us for a ride.
