Dollhouse (Omega): Live initial reactions


*Yes. Help Victor. Poor Claire.

*Alpha/Echo: New OTP? Well…one of them, anyway.

*DUDE!!! Saunders was a Doll?!?!?! AWESOME!!! Evil!Claire is HOT! And her name was Whiskey!

*Nope. Alpha/Saunders = New OTP. About as twisted as one can get…but HOT!!!

*Finally, Paul learns about Alpha.

*Correction, Adelle: Alpha = Super Genius.

*I don’t want that throne. It doesn’t look comfy.

*“I’m not my best anymore.” Poor Victor. Geez, Claire. Harsh, much? Now Victor won’t be a doll anymore? Seeing how Claire turned out, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. HEH! Whiskey was the #1 Active!!! DUDE. There was another Dr. Saunders?!

*Fireflies. Nice reference, Joss. I love Topher. Paul, meet the dolls. Oh, wait. You already have.

*Nope. Alpha/Echo is still my new OTP. His stalker crush was creepily awesome. “You are the best.” Watch your step. Funny. Alpha’s craziness is made of win.

*Alpha destroyed his original personality. Wonder what he’s going to do with Echo? Say goodnight, Caroline. Good riddance, if you ask me.

*“Let Echo be number one.” That’s why he cut her?!?!?!?! EVIL!!!/“I was making art.” I love Alpha. Geez. No wonder he went crazy…er./More eye-poking, Joss. Really?

*Ascension looks painful. /Bam! Didn’t expect that, did ya, Super Genius?

*Prisoners = Dolls. Yeah, that makes sense.

*Hulu is awesome. Back to episode.

*Whiksey 1.1? Was there a 1.0? Is there a 1.2? Does ‘Claire’ know she was Whiskey 1.1? Guess so.

*Gunshot wounds suck. So do face slashes. But eye-gouges have got to be the worst.

*Boyd/Paul = Team of AWESOME. Is it wrong that I find Paul’s obsession with Caroline creepy but Boyd’s feelings perfectly understandable? Go Paul! You saved the girl, buddy! Now maybe you can let go of that creepy obsession, once and for all.

*No more Dr. Saunders? Topher imprinted Claire to hate him? That is strange. And oddly sentimental.

*I knew Paul would trade himself for her!!! He totally loves her!!! *Paul/Mellie shipper heart breaks* Madeline. Okay…Newest OTP? = Paul/Madeline. *crosses fingers for next season*

Final thoughts: Best episode of the season. But, I’m not surprised. And FOX…Dollhouse better get renewed.

I'm pretty sure they wanted to leave that open-ended. That's how I saw it, at least. My guess would be that Paul takes some kind of position on the staff because I don't think he'd EVER agree to become a doll, even to save 'Mellie'.

Yeah, you're probably right on the creep-factor. Boyd's feelings for Echo are innocent and based an actual experiences with her whereas Paul's obsession comes only from what he knows about 'Caroline' and leans toward the attraction side.

I need to watch again, but I believe Adelle either said Paul was their "new contractor" or "new handler". I won't be able to watch for a while, so hopefully someone else can catch it before I get a chance. Contractor would be ambiguous, but handler would mean like Boyd.

Hmm...must watch and find out.

IF Paul becomes a handler, they better not give him Echo. 'Cause I'm fairly certain that would just re-ignite his obsession with Caroline all over again. (And really...I think we've had enough of that. It was creepy.) Make him Sierra's handler.

...OR...If they do what I think they'll do with Victor (turn him into the new Dominic) Paul could be his 'partner' and keep tabs on him.

The Echo "personality" may be...childlike, but at least it's a personality Boyd's spent months interacting with on a daily basis. Paul's obsession is based on a photo and a video clip, not actually knowing Caroline.

Exactly. And like I said above, if Paul becomes Echo's handler, the obsession will start all over again. And I'm betting Adelle is much smarter than that:).
