I thought it was a boring episode overall. I liked that neighbour-girl turned out to be a sleeper, and that Echo was programmed to give a warning to the cop. I'm glad that Victor wasn't the one hurting Sierra.

It was an OK episode for me overall. I am relieved Victor is in the clear. I think the way he relates to Sierra is so sweet.
I actually felt for the .com customer guy, and thought his rationalization for basically ordering a prostitue every year was pretty reasonable actually.
I did laugh out loud with that one "interview" clip where the man was talking about hiring a doll to try out "Gay stuff" but "not in a queeny way".
The look his wife/girlfriend whatever gave was so funny!

I like the way the stories are building. Just a few thoughts:

- The scene with Melly and "bad handler guy" was cool. I thought she was a doll, and then it looked like he was going to kill her, so maybe not. Then she gets her "sleeper doll" killer-self triggered. Pretty cool! I wonder if she used to be a regular doll and they sent her back to real life (like they told Caroline they would do with her after five years) but with this "sleeper" thing that they can trigger whenever. Possibilities of all sorts of types/levels of dolls out there.

- I thought the scene when Boyd was taking "Rebecca" away, and she sees the bed with the rose petals and say, "Porn. I knew it was porn," or whatever she said, was hilarious.

- Who do we think the inside person is? I'm voting for Amy Acker, personally. We know her role is going to get bigger eventually. I think Boyd is working with whomever it is. He was the distraction that gave the person a chance to add the extra programming. I suppose the "I love getting your food" woman could also be in on it.

i hate to be a spoilsport and so negative BUT i just don't get the fascination w/ this show

i dvr'd all of em and watch and the show is meh

i read on some other board that this episode was supposed to be different than the others or different writers or whatever

i found the street interview stuff annoying

the whole richguy in house fantasy was one of the stupidest scenes i seen in a minute and i haven't seen anyone point out that right in the middle the girl dissapeared (snatched by handler) and it was like the FBI didn't even notice; wasn't his whole obsession to find her? did he really care about the fat rich guy or think he's gonna give up info?

i guess the big chested neighbor was activated "remotely" over the phone. I thought that part was interesting because they referenced remote wipes or something in the previous art roberry eps.

i think the Sierra person is odd looking; and what is the deal with the doc with the fredy kruger'd face?

i just don't see what the ultimate point of the series would be... the FBI guy finally bringing the DH down?

ok.. on the positive side i do like the bassline on the themesong.

i loved this episode !!! but there are some things that i cant stop thinking about 1. i hope the inside person is not the new person working with topher it just seems to predictable 2. i hope they erased the voice mail on his answering machine how would they explain that 3. with the boss lady being able to "call" in a active/sleeper why did she act surprised about echo being changed hummm and who is alpha... could he be the inside man?

Really? you just watched them all. Isn't her face all cut up from Alpha?

[AsIs]

The Doc's face is cut up because of Alpha.

I kind of thought the inside guy was Topher. He is the one who does up the programming. He sent Echo out on what might have been a bogus op. Or did he slip in the programming in case Echo came across the FBI guy.

Was Topher around when Alpha went rouge? Is Topher there by choice?

The one thing that sort of bugs me about the show is it is very similar to La Femme Nikita. But then I liked La Femme Nikita so it is all good.

I think the inside "guy" is the head female (played by Olivia Williams). There seems like there is something else going on with her. She is the boss of the LA dollhouse but I'm sure she has higher up bosses as well (that we haven't seen yet) that she could be working against.

Yeah. I've wondered what the deal is with the head woman, too. There's definitely going to be more to her than meets the eye, but I can't tell what it is yet. She certainly doesn't seem to mind that the dolls aren't behaving entirely the way they are supposed to.
