| On the Viewer - Dollhouse (Season 2, Episode 9 - "Stop Loss") |
 by Fëanor |
Just so you know, SPOILER ALERT!
Wow, talk about devastating: the programmable love doll DeWitt has hired to get what she needs tells her he wouldn't believe for a second she's one of those pathetic souls who need to hire a programmable love doll to get what she needs.
I can't believe Victor's leaving, and he and Sierra are getting split up! Argh!
Poor Anthony is given his memories back and dumped into a world now five years into the future. I think he should have been given a series of classes to prepare him for Lady Gaga.
Sierra is right, Victor is definitely not ready to be by himself. He gets out of bed and goes off to sleep in the shower, because it's more like his pod.
Echo is crazy. Why the hell would she think it's okay to just run around the Dollhouse with her illegal keycard? I think she overestimates how strong she is compared to DeWitt. DeWitt still has the power to destroy her.
Did Rossum kidnap Victor? If so, why? I like that Langton is bringing Echo in on this. Her super powers are really coming in handy.
"Group mind engage!" Victor's part of a soldier hive mind now. This is messed up. They're taking the Rossum technology in interesting new directions.
I'm having a little trouble pinning down where the loyalties of Langton and Topher lie. They work for Rossum, and do plenty of pretty terrible things for them, but they keep trying to sabotage the company's other, slightly more terrible interests, and save their people, even when they aren't really their people anymore. I guess the point is they have a conscience, albeit a small one. And DeWitt is trying to drown hers in liquor. Anyway, I would like to reiterate that I still don't see why Rossum hasn't just totally nuked this house yet. Maybe save some of the actives, but definitely fire/kill pretty much all the employees. I mean, c'mon.
Man, they can just load up Echo with knowledge now, like in The Matrix. She knows kung fu!
Langton: "DeWitt's out cold. We got at least half the day."
Topher: "Ooh! After we're done here, can I go to her office with a sharpie?"
Assistant: "All I have left is naughty pirate wench." Heh.
Echo just took out two paramilitary dudes while she had a bag over her head. "Don't piss off a blind girl." Nice.
Why did DeWitt wake up calling for someone named Judith? Who's Judith? A secretary we've never seen before? Or one I've forgotten?
DeWitt just steps right into the actives' group shower. That's one way to sober up!
I can't believe Echo just plugged herself right into the group mind. That was a dangerous move!
This brings up an interesting point. If everybody in the group mind knows what everybody else in the group mind is going to do, wouldn't they all just stand around, constantly attempting to come up with a plan to one-up the other person's plan, and never actually doing anything? I guess that wouldn't make for very good TV, though.
Echo is able to just impose her will over the group mind and make them all stand down. How does she have such an incredibly strong personality??
I have to say, it is about damn time DeWitt sent Echo to the Attic. Echo has been nothing but trouble from day one!
And so, Victor, Echo, and Sierra are dipped in Jello and Saran wrapped. I should probably be upset, but I'm actually kind of pleased. It makes sense as the next step in the show's overarching plot, and I'm certain Echo's going to get out of it somehow. I like that the show keeps moving forward, changing, doing crazy new things. |
