Dollhouse, Week 9
Well fuck me, THAT was an excellent episode.
Adele uses Victor! Holy shit! There was cake! (so the 'meeting' was just a much-needed day off...) And, fittingly, it's kinda violent and twisted and desperate. Adele is just a fascinating character and Olivia Williams is incredible. It was an excellent use of the entire cast while maintaining Echo as a focal point, action-y, emotional, suspenseful... Which makes next week's ep seem all the more disappointing - an Echo mystery of the week? Really?
Random observations
I told Joss there should be swords...
Victor's got a hot lady handler! We need to see more lady handlers... And I don't mean that in a dirty way!
"...or an assassin that does cheers..."
"You think I'm a spy?"
"Not in a bad way...."
Art class? Are there be fingerpaints and paper mache? Wait, they let them have scissors? and not the blunt-point kindergarten kind? That's not gonna end well.
Ballard - how many guns are shoving in your pants there, buster?
For a minute I thought that file room was the Intersect.
"...no need to hide your flaws" - so really, the Dolls just give you the out if you have a tendency to fart in bed...
Oh Evil Reed Diamond, I hope we'll see you again...preferably bound and splayed in the back of my van...

Yes, yes and YES!! Loved it too. But I've been loving all the eps since three weeks ago, so... I really really didn't see Miss Lonelyhearts coming at all. I also loved loved loved how Evil Reed Diamond might just be... good? So now we know where exactly those "messages from inside the Dollhouse" to Tamoh (where was his glorious naked torso tough this time? damn it) came from.
ReplyDeleteAnd all this talk about relationships... yep. Can relate. It IS all about hiding... and finding the right balance between sharing and not sharing.
Olivia William is my new fave actress.
And the dialogues... ah yes. Joss is back!
I don't know if Evil Reed Diamond is the one sending the messages via the Dolls. He explicitly stated that he wasn't trying to bring down the Dollhouse, but trying to contain it and keep the technology from possible US enemies (as is the purpose of the NSA). It seems that there is probably a second mole that is working to end/expose the Dollhouse completely, not just contain it. (someone on the TWoP boards made a very compelling case for Topher) Whether they are working with Alpha or not is not clear...
