Dollhouse 1x07

[tanaise]

And now, two completely true statements which are not mutually exclusive:

A) that was a terrible episode.
B) that was possibly their best episode so far

So, the "poor black boy fiercely devoted to his mother" role has now been filled in the dollhouse. I was worried they weren't yet stereotypical multicultural enough. Now, if only they have a redhead, they'll be set. Maybe they can dye Mellie's hair.

At least they're getting more Roller Derby and less boyfriend in the show, and at least they had a reason for the dolls being called in that was not all handwaving. However, worst science episode ever. "Oh, look, the horrifically dangerous drug that was so horrifically dangerous 'all' of the operatives had to be called out (really, both?) for it is not only *not* horrifically dangerous, it's wearing off. Which is good, because if it hadn't we might have had to explain how something which affects the brain is transmitted instantaneously by touch."

My husband and I were wondering afterward if the aforementioned poor black boy fiercely devoted to his mother was going to show up next week as Tango, on account of Sierra being the last new one and Tango being the next letter in that alphabet.

Ah, then you and your husband have not been paying attention, as there is already a Victor, and thus they are not following strict alphabetical order already.

*forehead smack* You are right! We shall now scuttle off and hide in the closet in shame.
