Still watching this week's. I really like your ideas about Caroline vs. Echo vs. her personas.

And I agree completely that the story of the Dollhouse is way more interesting than the case of the week. That's what's keeping me coming back, week to week.

Heh. Like I said, I'm watching right now. Ballard is in his neighbor's apartment with his shirt off, and I'm thinking what a fricking TEASE he is! But then he just kissed her.

BTW, the neighbor? Totally not what she appears to be. Just speculation, but I'll be completely shocked if she's just the nice neighbor with a crush on Ballard. Not only is she way too innocent, but the show is making Ballard a complete idiot, spilling the details of his very secrect investigation to some Random Lasagne Girl. They're doing that for a reason.

This week, I heard even more Joss. The whole conversation between Ballard and the computer game inventor was very funny.

Ooh, so am I to understand that the Dollhouse knew that Echo would encounter Ballard at that house? Interesting. sorry for the liveblogging here...hee

Sorry, your question. Yes, though I'm liking the show now, I agree that it's weirdly constructed. Your idea about taking the focus off Echo is a good one, especially since I think Eliza Dushku is the central problem. She's not a good enough actress to distinguish Echo from her Active personas from Caroline. So the whole thing is built on sand, a little bit.
