Man. Even though I already knew Alan Tudyk was Alpha, Whedon managed to make me second guess myself for a while there. Even already knowing Whedon's red herring shenanigans (any Buffy fans remember when he countered the rumor that Spike dies at the end by saying he'd be joining the cast of Angel... only to have him die anyway).

Thought this episode was fantastic. Though it made me so sad to hear "season finale" in the preview for next week... so worried it'll be the series finale too. 😕

Yea its getting quite interesting, too bad it looks like its getting canceled so its all a waste.

Alpha and Whiskey go awol on an assignment and the Client lets him know that he and her are not real and that the assignment was all his fantasay. Amy Acker is infact a Doll formally known as Whiskey. She replaces the former Doctor Saunders a male. She is Dollhouse's most requested active. Caroline is first touring Dollhouse right after Alpha and Whiskey get back from their tramatic assignment that brought out the "artist" in Alpha. Alpha takes an imidiate liking to Echo even kissing her a couple of times.

Caroline is placed in the body of the girl who played Mel Gibson's daughter in What Women Want.

The first person Alpha attacked was Whiskey and he told her to let Echo be number one. So here is what happened. Topher downloaded all of Alpha's previous personalities into him inorder to figure out why he attacked Whiskey, which of the personalities caused it but he broke out before they were removed so he has all 41? of his personalities rumbling around in his head.

He does the same to Echo so that he can kill Caroline who is in another body.

Instead she attacks alpha. Meaning what he did to her might have actually worked while what happened to him was a glitch/failure.

Alpha's original name was Carl Craft Paul Ballard does in fact save the girl. In that he saves Carolines imprint when it falls several stories to the ground.

Ballard is now a contractor for the Dollhouse Milly is set free instead of Caroline as part of his contract. Paid in full. Echo is still Echo but knows who Caroline is and Saunders while programed to replace Doctor Saunders has extra computer knowledge and hates Topher. I'm thinking she is who he programmed Sierra with. Or at least she was originally.

Alpha is still on the loose.

End of season.

End of season.

Unless Wheedon pulls it out of his ass its End of Show. Other than ep 13 coming out on DVD in July at least.

The last episode of Dollhouse had the LOWEST ratings of any Dollhouse episode this season, that pretty much seals the deal on it not coming back.

Cant believe what I just read....

"Meanwhile, on the renewal front, sources tell TVGuide.com that Dollhouse is now "looking really good" for a Season 2. "

"Variety reports that Fox has renewed Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" for a second season. The show has secured a 13-episode order and is likely to continue airing on Friday night."

The only problem is Tudyk is already commited to ABC's V series so He may not be appearing much if at all next season.

I see this has been axed?

yep

shame really

... but T:TSCC deserved to be picked instead of this, Dollhouse never quite took off

I'd agree, the show is a far cry from Joss's best work, and seems so totally unaware of its own ridiculousness. It's hard to believe the guy who was canny enough to simultaneously spoof genre convention and take full advantage of it made a show so unintentionally goofy and implausible with no questioning of its own implausibility as Dollhouse.

True, while it's not Joss' best work, it's not totally his fault. It's hard to do your best when Fox has your hands tied. Regardless, even with all the changes he's had to make, the last several episodes have been spectacular.

Rargh, I just watched the whole two seasons. Man, I could punch myself so hard for not sticking with it the first time. Admittedly the first 6 or so episodes were average, nothing amazing, and that made me not continue to watch for over a year, but goddammit, I'm a ****ing moron. This show was truly amazing, most of the latter episodes are up there with Whedon's best work for sure. It's so involving and thought provoking and just beautiful.

I'd advise everyone to watch it, I'm not sure not everyone would like it, but if you do it's amazing. Amazing.
