I'm mostly interested in watching how well (or poorly) Joss flexes his feminist muscle, and trying to figure out what he's saying. I think he's been a little unsubtle in that regard, at least for me, although apparently a lot of people have missed it in favor of "boobies."

Aside from that, I like Ballard's storyline. The "Ballard is Alpha" theory seems a little more compelling to me than before, seeing as how he has wicked hand-to-hand fighting skills and he keeps shrugging off bullets. If he's not Alpha, then I'm really curious about why he's obsessing over the Dollhouse and Caroline/Echo.

Hey YingYang. Looks like we share the same ideas about Ballard. It's been an additional reason why his part of the story is very interesting to follow. Lets see what happens eh ?

Oh, sure - like nobody here is getting any satisfaction out of Ballard's lean, mean, low-body-fat physique. Save your faux righteous indignation for the RWED!

But seriously, I guess my single favorite thing about DH so far is the dialogue - when it's up to Joss spec, that is, which seems to be more the case as the show progresses. And like everybody else, I like watching the characters developing, trying to figure who will eventually be revealed to have been zooming who and for how long and for what reason. And then there's the anticipation of waiting to see which seemingly mild-mannered co-star will completely lose their sh*t at the drop of a cryptic phone message...

Oh - and, yeah...boobies.

lol, I'm not saying that certain spectacles hold no appeal, but it's not been at the forefront of what I 'like most' about the show, personally. I like that it's made me think and also managed to be pretty entertaining. Unlike what seems a majority of people, I've liked it since the beginning, just because the concept is so intriguing and the plots for the most part engaging. My smoldering interest in the whole premise definitely burst into full flame this past episode, though, I can't deny that. It was a good one, its goodness neither harmed nor reliant upon any cleavage or chiseled physiques

Witty dialog, of course. And when that isn't happening, a nice shower scene will do.

I love how morally gray the entire show is. At one moment you're supposed to be cheering for the Dollhouse against Alpha, because Alpha is some murderous psycho who is trying to bring them down. But then you think that maybe the Dollhouse should be brought down because they are dealing in human trafficking and stealing peoples lives. That's horrible. So maybe now you should be cheering for Agent Ballard, but you don't want him to get too close to the Dollhouse because you're intrigued with Boyd and Echo, but should you be so into what Echo is doing because she's not even under her own free will.

There is no real good guy (besides Ballard) in this show. The Dollhouse is not good. Alpha is not essentially good, and even if he is he is portrayed as the villain. Boyd is a good man, but he works for an evil corporation. So who's side are you on? That could be a deep question for the viewer, and that in interesting to me.
