Dollhouse 1x11
Spoilery thoughts and guesses underneath.
So uh, Alan Tudyk has been working out, huh?
(A) Saunders is a doll. Whiskey. Between Alpha calling her that, and (as I read it) her confused reaction and subsequent "realization" that Dominick-in-Victor is calling for a drink, and then his later followup questions about her always wanting to be a Doctor. I'm just saying. Right at the moment, I would almost say it's too obvious. Dominick wasn't calling for booze, so we KNOW it has to be someone in the room. Adelle, Topher, and Boyd were all accounted for during the glitching bit, so we know it can't be them. We NEVER saw Saunders (or, to be fair, Ivy) in that episode.
Um, when Alpha sliced Victor's face I got very sad. Poor kid. Also, how AMAZING did Enver have Reed Diamond's voice/mannerisms down? I was pretty blown away. He not only managed to BE Mr. Dominick, he did it as Victor, and so kudos.
The comedy that is Tahmoh + Tudyk = WIN. Medicinal carrots, etc etc. They should have a buddy cop show! Also, Alan Tudyk should then bring back the mustache he was sporting in the Firefly flashbacks. YES.
As awesome as the Echo-Paul fight was, uh, I am pretty sure the Boyd-Paul fight just KICKED ITS ASS. I didn't even know who to root for? I kept going, come on Boyd, no wait. I really hope we get a Season 2, because he has some BACKSTORY and I want to know it. There's a reason why he's there, and I will not be satisfied until we get an awesome backstory episode.
I wonder if the Briar Rose kid, Susan will actually see Echo again. That was sort of a neat little idea, although executed a bit hamfistedly, but it was nice to see a GOOD mission, started by Topher, of all people. Also, um, was that paid, or more an experiment that he was allowed to try out? I don't see ANY orphanage being all, yes, I will totally hire this morally deficit organization that costs 8 bajillion dollars, just to help out this one scewed up kid that has a fondness for sharp objects. It was something I was willing to handwave, especially once Paul's story line started picking up.
To go back to Saunders - we know she never leaves the Dollhouse. Maybe they had to keep her on post-5 year contract due to the scars? I mean, let's say you had agreed to be a Doll for 5 years, and you woke up after your contract was up, and then you woke up with HUGE ASS SCARS. I'd be a little grumpy.
Anyway, basically I want to draw little hearts around my love for Amy Acker and call it a day.
