There was so much lead up to this episode. We know who's running Rossum, we've seen Evil!Claire, and the pieces are mind-blowing. No one's quite sure what's going on or what's going to happen.
To review - Caroline is now in Echo's head as well. Boyd is with her when she wakes up, as Rossum is invading the LA dollhouse. The group splits up with the goal of getting to Tuscon to take down Rossum HQ.
So, after all the craziness, Boyd drugs Caroline so she can't tell everyone else who he is. Sensible move. They have Adelle, Paul, Mellie, Topher, Caroline/Echo, and Boyd. They comehow get a helicopter, and go to Tuscon. That annoyed me a little - Rossum could storm the place, ready to kill them, but they still had access to a helicopter?
They get to HQ, and Adelle immediately knows Claire is now Clyde2.0. Well reasoned. Topher doesn't notice that Boyd is swiping a card to get out of the lock-down room, and no alarms go off when they open the door from the inside. Ooookay...
Then it gets a little silly. Boyd has decided that because the tech is out there (tech he oushed to be created, right?) they have to get vaccinated by Echo's spinal fluid that has been enhanced every time she was imprinted. But, seeing as they had her in DC, why didn't they tap her then?
For some reason, Boyd also doesn't knwo the adage about the cure before the disease, so he has Topher make the tech before he has the vaccine. Gonna bite you in the butt, Boyd!
Poor silly Topher.
Also, re: being immune - people in love seem to be abole to control imprinting. Tony and Mellie have gained controlled when the person s/he loves reminds them to.
And now the big question. Topher knew that the tech ppl inevery dollhouse has been assigned bits of the tech he had designed. Why would blowing up HQ accomplish anything? Why not go out and find the heads of Rossum and imprint them to tell the truth?
Also, it was sad that when Mellie blew her brains out, but I saw it coming from far off *and* was not emotionally invested in her anymore.
I enjoyed Tony as Topher, but it went on too long for such a nimportant episode. The one moment I really enjoyed was Boyd getting wiped to doll state.
Thoughts?
