WTH?
I hated the jumping intersecting timelines. I had to keep mentally revising when things were happening.
Adelle having an affair with an imprinted Victor was squick-worthy. That whole storyline left out one important element for me. If Adelle is so miserable at the Dollhouse, why doesn't she leave? What's keeping her there? Because without that crucial bit of information, she was just whining about a problem she could easily fix.
Are there two spies inside the Dollhouse? Obviously, Mr. Dominic was working for the NSA and was the one who programmed Sierra to retrieve the file that would frame Ivy, but I can't believe he ever programmed Echo or November to pass on information to Agt. Ballard. Pass on misinformation through Victor, yes, but not actively help Ballard.
Agt. Ballard is in an awkward position. Now that he knows that Mellie is a doll, having a relationship with her that she can't give informed consent to has got to be making him squirm, since that's what he hates most about the Dollhouse. Yet in order to bring the place down, he can't give away that he knows Mellie is a doll because Mellie doesn't know she's a doll. Somebody's on a slippery moral slope.
Can Dichen Lachman have her own action show where she just kicks butt all the time? I would watch that show.
And would somebody please poke the writers and remind them that there's this guy named Alpha that everyone at the Dollhouse is supposed to be afraid of and who's supposed to be working against them? People mention his name periodically, but he hasn't been a looming threat in a really long time.
