Dollhouse

There's a 3 week hiatus before they air the last 3 episodes of the show.

So - the 2 hour block this past Friday night was extremely suspenseful, yet somehow not scary. The Victor back-story was good to finally get. I'm excited to meet Caroline. I'm still not quite sure how they woke Ballard up...

And now on to speculation!

I think that Ballard has his sexuality taken away from him, becuase it's one of the few things he wouldn't notice immediately. I also think that he's going to die at the end of the show, because 1) he was dying anyhow, and 2) if they point is to unwipe everyone and destroy the technology, he can't live out his life as a doll.

Clyde 2.0 looks it would be someone who is brilliant and worked at Rossum. The first part leads us to Topher, Bennet, and a few others. The second seems to point to execs at Rossum, but it could also point to the ealier dolls - like Alpha. He knows the tech, developed his own, and is looking to destroy Rossum for reasons never fully fleshed out.

They're going to have to do something to the mainframe to get all 23 Dollhouses to crash at once. I think that will entail killing everyone left in the attic, and with the team based in LA, only those dolls may survive.

Where is Clyde himself? He said that he's halfway across the country. Do we know where Rossum headquarters are and I've simply forgotten?

Avraham would like to know how Clyde manifested himself to do look different in other people's minds.

I'd like to know how Echo remembered and recognized Caroline's family and memories. Although I'm still not clear on whether those were Caroline's memories tied in with Echo's imprints (i.e., was that actually Caroline's family in the golfing scene?), or her imprints' memories that Echo remembers as hers because they're all 'her'.

This show has become so fantastic, so amazing. It's a shame that it had to be on network where it had to be dumbed-down, and on a network that is known not to really commit to these types of shows.

I'd love to see Joss move to a cable station like Sci-Fi, where they'd invest money in PR, have a fan base, and give him free reign.

    Hey, Em! I recognized the scene; I just didn't catch if it was the same group of women, or if the women were new, and supposed to be Caroline's actual relatives. Like the tree, and the little girl with the horse - it looked like it could have been a young Caroline, but maybe mixed up with the memories of the imprint from the mom who loved horses...
