Dollhouse ep 1.9

[dangermousie]

and loved it.



I hate everyone working for Dollhouse so nobody's behavior surprised me - Adele 'hiring' Victor is repulsive (now we have equal opportunity rapists of the week, yay?) but nothing any Dollhouse employee does on that show surprises me (compared to what they did with Sierra, it's nothing) and I watch mainly in hopes of actives gathering up the knives and killing every employee painfully. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Is. Evil.

Except for Dominic because I can get behind his goals. Plus, how awesome was that reveal and his scene in the car with Echo? Mmmm. I was so with him - I would be just as excited if Echo went psycho. I want him back!

Poor dim Agent Helo - he has to please his gf because she is a homicidal doll and will off him if she suspects anything.

Icon used because Sujini would go into the Dollhouse and slaughter the lot of them and go out for drinks afterwards and drink her mercenary unit buddies under the table.

I loved it too, but I am actually beginning to like a lot of the characters. I love Adele. I also find that I like each episode where there is very little Echo. I want this show to have a lot more Mellie, Victor, Boyd, Adele and Topher (he's despicable but at least entertaining) and a lot less Echo and Helo.

Poor Agent Helo - as dim as two boxes of rocks.

I have no idea if I would find his character deadly dull if it wasn't for the fact that I was so madly in love with this actor on Battlestar Galactica where by the end of the show he and his wife were the only two characters I did not want to drown in a bucket.

Topher is horrid but funny.

I'm honestly watching just on the off chance that Agent Helo takes his shirt off again. You don't have to have an IQ of 160 to have an awesome bod.

I'm interested in seeing where they take Sierra and Victor. They're really cute together when they're not acting like three year olds.

When we aren't being reminded of his hormones, they're fairly cute then, too. "Cute but creepy" really. Less creepy now that we've seen him apparently like her when imprinted, and them like each other as their supposed real selves.

Mind you, this weekend, my 2-year-old nephew decided to say goodbye to our cousin's 3-year-old by trying to initiate a fullblown movie clench with her, complete with hugging, leaning, and head tilting for the kiss. (Which got him a "What?" look from her, as she thought "Bye boy!" was a suitable farewell.)

I've been around enough 2 and 3 year olds to be used to toddler boys platonically crushing on little girls, it's just the sexual element that makes their wiped states creepy.

Yeah, that episode with him constantly getting an erection in the showers? There's a crapload of creepy right there.

I wish we got more interaction between the dolls when they actually have personalities. I'm getting tired of all those dazed looks from the characters when they're in "three year-old" mode.

Butting in to agree with this. I'm OK with people liking DH because they see something in it that I don't or people liking it for a guilty pleasure, but when Whedonites insist to me THE SHOW IS AWESOME because it's JOSS and I JUST DON'T GET IT, I'm praying for this one to go quick, just so I can giggle at their martyred wails.

I mean they like it, super, smashing, great. Why is it so important for me to like it as well?

We are pimps and killers but in a philanthropic way

I loved the part where they had Sierra pose as a Japanese woman and even though she does not absolutely look Japanese NO ONE COULD TELL. Because them Asians? They look alike.

I was hoping to like Agent Helo as idiotic as he is but sleeping with November after knowing she's a doll... I officially hate everyone on the show but I can't stop watching it!

I loved this episode too! And I totally agree with Dominic, Echo is going to go psycho and bring them all down!

I've always been a fan of flawed characted and I like that the ones in Dollhouse really are flawed. Aside from the dolls and Boyd there's not really a decent person in there
