CAPTIONS VERSION!!
After last episode being my least favorite, this one is I think my favorite of the show. Not that there aren't so many episodes after that have so much to offer, but thinking on it this is the one that I always cement in my head as being "Dollhouse" to me. So many revelations, the music score, like Darcie said, was so poignent. And having the interviews show the naive nature of thinking it's okay versus the cold hard truth that these people can't consent to what's happening to them... Such a good show. Plus, as a martial artist, I love so much the scene with Paul using Muay Thai against Echo's Krav Maga, my two favorite martial arts is just *chef's kiss*

Happy you are back, and I hope everything ended well or at least better than before.
As for the episode, this is an important one. It was a TV sweeps episode and this delivered big. The story takes a huge step forward, we explore public opinion and the ethical concerns about imprinting technology, we are introduced to new plot points (sleeper agent dolls, undercover operative in the Dollhouse), and we explore the darker themes of abuse with Sierra's story.
Then with Patton Oswalt, well he has been acting awhile and has appeared in a large amount of projects. Just weird timing for you on watching this, as he guest starred here many years before he was on SHIELD and over a decade before VM.

Thank you for dropping this lil gift, considering what's been on your plate. Hope there's less weighing on it now. ❤️

Hope everything is alright with you and your friend Darcie. Glad to have you back.
As for this episode, this is when the show starts to take off. They need establish what the dollhouse could be early on so that when it gets more serialized you understand it. This show just gets better and better.

Good to have you back, Darcie. And what an episode to come back to! So much happening. I didn't see Mellie aka Lasagna Girl coming at all. I was shocked and I loved it. And I just watched for the first time a few months ago. But this one was really great and exciting. Curveballs coming.

I'm glad you're back, and with such a pivotal episode too!
I don't think Paul was suspicious of the full dish of "leftover" lasagna because he figured Mellie just liked him, which might actually have been the case, even if she was a sleeper.

The crazy thing about this episode is that it has so many major scenes that each could have been the basis for their own episode: The sleeper agent reveal; the person inside the dollhouse reprograming actives, The rapist handler; Paul meeting Echo...it had to be a sweeps episode (back when they still did those).

This is exactly why science fiction is my favorite genre. We get to roll through all kinds of ethics and hypothetical situations while we're doing plot. It can be so thought provoking.

Twists and turns and reveals and overthinking aside, this one also has some pretty bitchin' fight scenes. Big bad Paul comes out of all them looking pretty nice, dude can throw some fists.

Two guys just checking it out, my favorite on this episode. Pointing out sexual repression makes us all dolls. Alpha was an active so you know he is better looking than Ballard or possibly even Victor.
