I’m gonna refrain from saying much about it, it had some good points but was overall pretty disappointing. Especially that 150,000 years later bit with Head Six and Head Baltar which was so goddamn cheesy and heavy handed it would have been too much even for a crappy children’s movie. 

Also, wow, they answered none of the burning questions/plot holes (io9’s list is better than anything I could have come up with since they actually like the show). 

I think I’m gonna go rewatch Babylon 5 for the 4th time now…

[EDIT] In other news, this week’s Dollhouse was pretty fucking awesome. Though I’m kind of dissaponted that the Echo-tampering thing appears to be legitimate tampering and not a massive keikaku (would have made perfect sense to pull that on FBI boy who’s name I still don’t remember to manipulate him). Anyway, sleeper Active was cool, but I called it early in the episode (plus, her getting killed like that would have been way too depressing for a mid-season episode on a mainstream primetime show) not that it makes it less interesting as a plot point. And the Active-rape sub plot was actually pretty interesting (it seems like one of those things that someone might bring up as a “hurr durr that’s unrealistic because someone would totally take advantage of that” kind of  thing and they just went for it

The only other thing I can think to whine about with this episode (which again was awesome because it wasn’t fucking filler shit) is FBI guy’s reaction to seeing Echo in the cult. Given how similar the ideas of someone kidnapped and brainwashed in a cult and in the Dollhouse are, I was kind of surprised that it led him to the conclusion that it did–because honestly I was expecting that to totally throw him off the trail for at least an episode or two–Oh… She was brainwashed by a cult, that explains it. Maybe this Dollhouse thing really just is an urban legend…<–this sort of line of thinking, before seeing her somewhere else or something and coming back to it (really it’s less to do with the way this particular episode was structured and more the way it fits into everything else so far, should have shuffled the cult episode an episode or two earlier into the schedule maybe).
