Looks like the local town people don't like these folks, eh.
Ooooooh. A hidden "save me" note. Talking about people who've had their wills taken away. And at least he admits that it is "ironic" to use an active to get into this group. And this is not quite the government itself hiring them, but it does show that some folks in the government know about the Dollhouse. This Senator knows about them.
If she were anymore relaxed, she'd be ooze.
Oh, that's right! This is the "real world scarily close to SciFi" eye camera thing!!
Also, since they don't know if this could kill her? Definitely puts a different slant on the idea that the actives are volunteers.
Oooooh! Another mention of human trafficing!
Boyd is "embedded at the highest level". So, who amongst the various ATF people know about the actives? Any of them? Or just the Senator?
Just a girl - Buffy shout out! ;D
"What, did she escape from a cult?" "No. She didn't escape from anything." Well. That's honest. 'Cuz she is still in the Dollhouse, isn't she?
"I'm a girl? Wow! I've been blind longer than I thought!" Heeee!
Is anyone else particularly struck by the image of all the people walking away in the credits? For some reason that is just really haunting to me.

"Man reaction"
Are Doctor Saunders' scars getting less pronounced?

Ha! Nice fake out with the call from the neighbor bringing his meds down. The guy from the store is a true believer and he's not happy with leader guy is he? Ha! The shower scene - they're totally not supposed to have sexual feelings when wiped, are they? "Victor had an erection?" "I prefer man-reaction!" ;D I've cautioned against repeated imprints in the same dolls. Oooooh. Another example of the wipe not being complete. And no one is listening to the warning signs. What did Jonas "save" them all from, back in Texas? Ah, he's testing her blindness. And more serpent talk. And another "test". All while talking about "protecting". And that's a whole hell of a lot of guns. Damn!

Yeah, don't slap around the blind supplicants. You may be entertaining slayers unawares.

Heh! I love how FBI guy is all "what did he look like" and she figures out it was the mail guy. ;D Heeeeeee! Watching the shower photos. ;D "Of course! If it'd been a snake . . . Pretend I didn't say that." ATF guy is not happy with Boyd. "No. You know him." And of course security guy at the house first blames Echo and then says he doesn't want Echo gotten out safely. Ah. The unique vision of Esther that can see things others can't. Nice pun / parallel! Her "vision" of him, the fact that her eyes are "seeing" what the ATF couldn't see without her. And of course they set off a trip wire! **grabs his hand** "It's a miracle. I can see." "We're blind." Yes! This is what I love Joss for! The edit jump cut with dialog, the arm grab.

Whee! Granted, this cult whackadoo needs a good ass-kicking, but that's just.. gah. Brings out my "I just hate everybody" vibe.
And crap, Shad, Mesh and Abednego. This means we may have flamey death soon. this is so not good.

An apparent "real miracle" and of course that is gonna freak him out. But how much is him just trying to figure out how to get what he wants? Of course no one checked the security tape. Oy!! Oooooooooooooooh! The ATF guy faked the note!!!!

Oh crap. Are they gonna torch the place? Yes. Yes of course they are. Waiting for a miracle. "Lose your faith and you will perish." Oh, yeah, the whole "only the unrighteous are in trouble" crap. Oh I like the parallel of the icky cult criminal guy and the "ends justify the means" ATF guy. Each doing what they want, no matter who they hurt. And each with a second in command that is starting to question what the hell is up with their leader. "You can't force a miracle." "That message is move your ass!" ;D Now a very intriguing question - how much of that was the imprinted character and how much might have been Echo? Because unlike last week, she wasn't thrown out of her imprint. And damn. Security man saves with one nicely timed hail of bullets and then ruins it all by a vicious smack to knock her out. He really hates the dolls, doesn't he? Or really hates Echo. Or both.

ATF guy is happy to have cult guy and Echo die. Ha! "We don't think there are any more survivors." Aaaaaand right on schedule. Not to mention, right on camera. Ah, and because of how he was doing all sorts of ethically not right stuff, he's not going to tell FBI guy about seeing Echo. "I don't do things 'unoficially' ". Oh, what a liar! You do when they fit your needs, dude! Again with the parallels. Head woman doesn't want anything disturbing the "innocence" of the wiped. Temptation will spread like cancer. Hmmmmm. Sound like icky cult guy just a bit, hmmmmm? Victor must be "scrubbed". Ew!!! And security guy was not acting on her orders. Which does not please her. "Don't gamble on what I'd be willing to do, Mr. Dominick. Take the stairs." Oh, snap!! How's your vision, Echo? See the guy who saved and then tried to kill you? Hmmm? "I see perfectly."

I can't believe it didn't strike me before, but where did this implanted personality come from?
I mean, I don't believe they just happened to have a copy of someone who was a fervently religious blind woman who had a vision of this cult guy telling her to hitchhike to him just lying around on their shelves.
Which means, they had to create at least some of her. Which is, like whoa!

*snicker* "Man reaction" Are Doctor Saunders' scars getting less pronounced? I think when we first saw them the incident was fairly recent. So my guess is that she's still healing. Somebody in the previous thread mentioned that and was annoyed that with all of their technology there had been no plastic surgery on Claire. I should have replied that my theory is they have to wait until the original injury is healed before attempting reconstructive surgery. Also, if I were Claire I'd be fairly hesitant to let those people put me under an anesthetic or the knife!
