Maybe I need to rewatch it again. But it was after she examined Sierra and could tell that she'd recently had sex.

I thought she was saying that it wasn't prostitution/forced, not that it wasn't sex... but I don't know, I'm so confused!

Loved the episode over-all though, I'm glad it wasn't focused on one mission/engagement. The Paul/Echo stuff was great as was the Sierra storyline.

I like Mellie a lot more now. I didn't know what to think of her at first, her character seemed so random but now it all makes sense. I'm glad she has a greater purpose in this show.

This is Joss Whedon's take on Alias.

Well, he's certainly capable of pulling it off.

Joss is one of the few that would be capable of doing it

Okay, sorry I didn't mean to confuse all of you.

I just watched it over again, and it wasn't Adelle. It was the scene with Claire, Boyd, and Sierra's handler. They said that the dolls don't have sex drives, so they were talking about them in their doll-like state. Not as an active. So, I was wrong.

I know, eh

i never learn · 03-23-2009, 12:38 AM

victor and sierra are adorable as well! poor victor for being blamed for such a brutal crime... adelle is a cold fish and i'd say def worse than dominic, ugh... i liked how echo kept trying to help victor though... i think that's more of caroline shining through

after hearing how great paul's and echo's fight scene was, i'd have to disagree... looked totally phony to me, but the little message at the end was surprising... i wonder if someone really is on the inside or that's just the dollhouse playing games with paul... we shall see

i also enjoyed greg laswell as the coda

The Onion described this show as "Alias meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I think that's the best way of putting it.

I agree, definately.

I didn't think the fight looked phony

**SuperGirl** · 03-23-2009, 06:00 AM

I didn't think the fight scene was that bad, I actually liked it. I will admit, however, that some parts did look too choreographed. But the scene in the kitchen with throwing those pots and pans...genious.

Yeah, I just misunderstood the wording. That the actives themselves can have sex, but the dolls do not have sex drives. Or at least, they shouldn't. Though, it is interesting since Victor liked to pretend Sierra was his wife.

This episode was really good!.. the show is getting better

I liked this episode a lot, except for the interviews. I thought they were boring and sometimes distracting because they would pop up at the weirdest times.

I'm really interested in finding out who/how someone got their message to Echo:

1. Echo did this on her own since she is remembering things.

2. Alpha somehow got the message to Echo.

3. The message was part of one of the personalities that Topher imprinted her with.

4. Dr. Claire altered the imprint when Topher stepped out to confer with Boyd ( I think it was ).

5. Dewitt got the message to Echo somehow.

6. Whoever was Echo's handler on that second engagement got the message to her.

I think it was 5 and/or 6, but maybe 2 or 4.

Mellie and Paul were hot. Loved the Mellie/November switch. Glad to see the end of the sicko handler. Loved the Echo/Paul fight. Victor and Sierra were sweet. Loved all parts of this episode, except for the interviews.

**SuperGirl** · 03-23-2009, 10:54 AM

Echo wasn't remembering, the message from Echo was programmed into her. We know it wasn't Alpha, because Ballard asked her if it was the same person who's been giving him clues, and Echo said no, that this was their first contact. My theory is that it is Topher's lab assistant that's helping Ballard. She was standing right there with Topher when he was showing her the personality that he would be imprinting Echo with, and she excused herself before Topher walked away to talk to Boyd. So, there was plenty of time for someone to alter it. *Lightbulb*

yes, too choreographed which translates to phony in my mind

i think the person helping paul is claire... she seems like the only person besides boyd with a conscience
