Whoa and oopsie!! Alpha’s back!!
And Echo’s going buggy from the headaches? That’s not good. And Victor’s the doc. Creepier and creepier.
The “if she’s a witch, she floats” was a nice turn of phrase.
All hardware or software – nothing in between. Hmmmmm.
“Normal as anyone else around here.” Ha!!
“I know a conspiracy when I desperately try to avoid seeing it!” Heee! ;D
What does that make her? What is she?
“So she’s a serial killer?”
“Only a little bit.”
When Topher says “you’re all here”, I like the double meaning. That all the “conspirators” are here, Echo and Ballard and Boyd. And all of the imprints in Echo are here.
“That her? I had her filed away.”
“I am . . . obsolete. This must be what old people feel like. And Blockbuster.”
Eeep – dead client all set up like a picture by Alpha. Not. Good! Ah. And Alpha made the appointment too.
Hmmmm. Is Adelle using the stuff about “Echo must be his accomplice” to see if Ballard will admit that he was working with her most of the time she was missing? I think she is.
Love the noir hard dame speech from Sierra. Also? The dolls hold all the cards is soooo a message from Alpha, isn’t it? Oh, yes indeed it is, baby!
“Have we any engagements this month that he
hasn’t arranged?” I love when Adelle uses her faux-worldly “oh-so-put-upon” voice.
“Am I the only one who bothered to dress for this? I mean, the black works. Because honestly, when doesn’t it? It’s functional, it’s slimming.” ;D Also? Alan T does look damn good in that suit, wacky shirt and all . . .
They’re “wasting her” and “we remember everything”. Damn! He actually blew the guy up!
Nerdy computer guy! Ha! I love his reaction to learning that Ballard is working for the Dollhouse now. “You’re a little bit of a freak, aren’t you?”
Pending nuptuals? Um. Do they think maybe Alpha will go after the fiancé in some way? Or is it just me that thinks that way?
Angry Adelle is angry. And snarky. “We can’t have clients . . . roaming about the house.”
“It makes sense. You can’t ever really delete a program. You know, once it exists, it’s alive.” **nods a lot**
“In a nutshell? He’s this super genius serial killer who imprinted himself with a bunch of personalities and then escaped.”
“Wait, what?!
“Nutshell! Nutshell! It’s not as bad as it sounds!”
And of
course Alpha is already inside! How can they not have been expecting that? Or . . . did they . . . ?
Oh, sweetly said. “I’ve gone a little Brummel.” “It’s what’s on the outside that counts.”
Ha! That’s what he loves about the British, their talent for understatement. Also Python. Ooooh, that flinch of Adelle’s when he said “tally ho, then” wasn’t just fear. That was also a buttload of anger.
OMG! He’s got them all turning into killing machines for him! That? Is scary! And awesome! Awesomely scary! There’s a bit of poetic justice in there . . . evil poetic justice.
Bait and switch . . . just the thing with Victor being behind him, or does he really want Ballard? Because if he’s looking for those who are in love with Echo . . . well . . .
“Playing house! It’s probably my fault, I’m the idiot who introduced you two.” Ha!! It’s funny because it’s true.
Interesting. He didn’t sleep with her and he’s not gay, so it must be love. But even more interesting, DeWitt thought so too. Ha!
“Do you want to talk or do want me to save your life?” and “we can hug it out later”? Heee! Love kick-ass Echo.
“I’m like him. But not.”
“How lucky.”
OMG, Ballard is dead??!
And is Alpha going to do what I think he’s going to do? Put Ballard into his head? This is just getting wonderfully sicker and sicker!
“I can see you’re upset.” Uh, yeah, dude. And now she is going to kick you ass six ways from Sunday!
“He’s 10 times the man you are, and you’re like 40 guys!”
Oh, so many classic Joss bits in here. “I could never love you” as she smashes him. The discovery that
Angel’s soul has returned Paul is inside him, just when she’s about to strike a killing blow. “Do you trust me?” “With my life!” “Then end mine.” Ah, the tasty tasty angst, like bitter honey!
Aw, damn. And she gives Joel the gift of Rebecca, or a conversation with someone who is Rebecca and more, one last time.
Ohhhhhh! Keep Paul’s body because maybe they’ll get his mind out of Alpha someday?
Also? How the hell many times can this guy just waltz in and out of the House before they decide that something is seriously wrong with their security and construction, anyway?
