I don't know why. All I know is that the dolls are named after the NATO phonetic alphabet (Echo, Sierra, Victor, etc.) They were going to have a character named November, but I think they cut her from the show at the last minute.

It's probably a good way of keeping track of them all in order rather than giving them all random names.

Coincidence? I think not!

Yeah, those "names" are better than assigning the Actives numbers.

SnarkySarcastic · 01-05-2009, 10:16 AM

names surely beat numbers

*Lethe's Bramble* · 01-05-2009, 10:43 AM

Totally.

I hope we already get some background stories on the characters in the first ep.

I saw the 'Generation Kill' mini series marathon on HBO around Thanksgiving. It was 7 hour-long episodes. It's about the 1st Reconnaissance Marines during the initial invasion of Iraq ( I normally wouldn't watch a war series but I've recently developed a fascination for Alexander Skarsgard ). Anyway half the time I hadn't a clue what they were talking about since they all talking in code. It wasn't until later I discovered the glossary of terms on HBO site. Some of it was based on the phonetic alphabet.

They kept referring to "victors" ( vehicles ) and "tangos" ( targets ). They insulted one guy by calling him "whisky tango" ( white trash ). When they would get their orders to leave they were "oscar mike" ( On the Move ).

I'm wondering if some of the people who started the dollhouse were in the military.

Whiskey Tango...

Very creative! NATO isn't specifically just military, I know we use it in the airline business as well. I really do hope that they explain the names a little more though when she show starts.

Yeah probably anywhere radio communication is used.

Totally. They have a nice background story about Faith in her book.

Gee, can't they air that episode earlier?

courtneybangelcakes · 01-21-2009, 01:56 PM

I am so, so, so excited

Addison Montgomery · 01-21-2009, 02:32 PM

Aww me too, i can't wait for the season premiere! It's gonna be so cool to see Eliza back in action!

Tennessee Whiskey · 01-22-2009, 12:26 AM

It's taking forever to get here, I can't wait to see Eliza again, and see something Joss created, it's been far to long for both.

***me and the sky*** · 01-23-2009, 01:09 PM

I know! I just can't wait!

BUt wow Kathy that was really cool to know!
