Added the pictures and a couple other things. Thanks for getting it started!  This episode looks great. Seems like Echo will be going to the college Caroline went to, that should be interesting. I also love the idea of the three main Actives all going on the same engagement. |

Wow, Adele looks freaked at the end of the preview.
"My arm is like, soooo heavy" HAHA to Laurence. That cracked me up for at least a good minute.
Victor doesn't have a Russian accent in that preview. How much will Echo remember? How much will everyone remember?
And this is my science-geekness wondering, but what is in that vial? It's something relative to a weapon of mass destruction.

I can't believe that this is the halfway point for season 1! Dollhouse is going by way to fast!

Im glad the trailer is up. It looks amazing. I suppose I feel a little sympathetic for Adelle in this upcoming episode as it seems that everything she has worked for is falling to pieces.
Im also a little worried about the shows future. I believe Eliza said in an interview that Joss had a five year plan for Dollhouse. Im finding this hard to believe as it seems like the entire idea of the show is coming to a climax already.

I'm positive he can continue surprising us with interesting storylines for 5 years. |

Huh, just noticed that Matt is on the cast list, Echo's engagement from Ghost. Will there be a weird, complicated reunion?

Topher's got some biceps!! And omg what is up with Adelle jumping on a trampoline? AND WHY IS TOPHER IN HIS UNDIES??
Did Adelle mention that their work is funding the Rosom Corporation? Interesting.

wow. topher is hot. who knew? PS: I totally saw it coming that this guy was going to become a doll. I really like the actor. not sure what else I have seen him in but he reminds me of J. August.
I love all of the backstory!
I think this might be my favorite episode yet. but then again, I say that after every episode.
AND next week looks amazing! The Awakening! Loves it! Sadly, I am not going to be home next weekend!  |

Perfect. Very, very, very Joss Whedon. The funny thing is...I think I like everyone in the show BESIDES Eliza Dushku.  Here's my review: The one problem everyone had with the idea of "Dollhouse" was that it would be much more serious than funny. And we all know Joss loves his funny...and writes it really well which is a plus. This episode shows that Joss can put that funny, awesome dialogue spin on anything he gets his hands on. Granted, not every episode will be like this (he's even stated it) but this episode really helped show the characters and actors to their full potential. The highlight scene of the episodes was, of course, the parts with Topher and Adelle but the one scene that stands out is when they first start going under the effects of the drug. The dialogue is fast, witty, hysterical, and doesn't make sense...but does at the same time. It was really genius and the actors played it really well. The one problem I have...is that I find Echo/Caroline a lot less interesting than everyone else on the show. I found, whenever Eliza Dushku's scenes came on that I would moan, or not get as excited. I'd much rather be watching Adelle, Topher, Dominic, Sierra, and Victor. This might have something to do with acting...but I just can't put my finger on it. |

SPOILERS!
Hahahahaha. That was genius. A fantastic mix of mystery, drama and comedy.
All the Caroline backstory was very interesting. We got a lot of answers, but more questions. I'm hoping these flashbacks continue. Caroline's story wasn't what I expected, I thought it'd be something, I don't know... larger? I like how simple it is though: an activist. Really felt bad for her at the end when Leo got shot. That whole climax was great, loved the back and forth between her and present Echo.
I can't believe how funny this episode was. I'm pretty sure I missed a lot because I was laughing so hard. Everything Adelle and Topher was genius. Ranks as some of the funniest stuff ever on a Joss show.

"I'm your superior." "In every way." Adelle and Topher... how I've learned to love you both so. If I had to pick a best performance of the night, it would be tied between these two. Granted, they had the best lines... the one about lentils being incomprehensible was quite well delivered. Nay, very well delivered. Watching the two lying on the floor with bags of chips strewn all over the place was hilarious. "Mmmm... munchies..." Adelle on a trampoline... when I first saw the preview clip, I nearly choked. I knew it was her, but I kept thinking that it had to be someone else... until she started clambering over the banister. Topher running around in his boxer-briefs... I really do have a thing for nerds. *sigh*
This episode delivered the funnies, but would I rank it over last week's? No. It did provide a LOT of very valuable insight into the past, and it was kinda cool (but cliched) how the opening and ending sequences mirrored each other. So the guy is probably gonna sign on the dotted line...
But hey, confirmation that "Mellie" is indeed November (she was identified to be a sleeper Active last ep, but was unnamed). Kinda sad to see the end of the Mellie/Paul fling/thing for now.
Did anyone find it interesting that Echo could deny her treatment offer from Boyd? The Actives are supposed to trust their handlers unconditionally, and yet Echo just said "No". Probably caused by her memories over-riding her imprint, but possibly also because she recognized Boyd as not being trustworthy at the moment?
EDIT: Tyler, the episode wasn't written by Joss. It doesn't mean that it wasn't very good, but I just wanted to point that out.
