I love all the little touches that don't really make sense yet throughout the show. Like at the end where Sierra smiles and Echo and Echo tenses up and very subtly shakes her head no. Or things that are just cool, like in the end of the last episode where she puts her hand to her shoulder, something she shouldn't remember. Even though the other back story is intriguing, this is my favorite part. Also, I loved the bit at the end where Adele(I think that's her name), stands up for Echo's behavior.
I'm excited about next episodes plot, because I even though it played out well enough, I didn't really want to dive into the whole pop star thing. I think it was too showy, the kind of storyline they should stay away from.
I read in an Eliza Dushku interview, that everything is supposed to get more Joss in episode six and beyond. She said that these first view "generic" episodes are just to hook in viewers who wouldn't find themselves generally watching it.
I agree though, the second episode was the best so far. It had action, a "Most Dangerous Game" plot, and I found the flashbacks to be very interesting.

And did I detect a hint of something between Amy Acker's character and Boyd, the handler? Love it!
I'm increasingly optimistic. I have also heard that the magic number is 6 episodes -- I just hope beyond all hope that Fox doesn't axe it before it gets that chance.
I loved this episode. Best so far this season, definately. If episode six is bringing better than this, my hopes are high. There were so many great moments that the other episodes only ever had like two of, that I can't even can't them. I'll probably have more to say when I watch it again tomorrow on Hulu.

I like Echo's blank stare too, Bruce... I've seen other message boards complaining about her acting when Echo is in her "resting state" but I really like Eliza's acting so far. I loved her in the safe this time... when she said at the end, "I'm not broken" I felt like cheering. I didn't think I was going to get attached to her character but there is just something incredibly sweet and appealing and... hidden strength-y, about her when she's theoretically "wiped" of personality.
I just hope that this episode she isn't the bad ass chick, because sure Eliza's acting has been good, but basically everyone she's done has had the element of character she's good at playing. I thought her acting in the vault though, was superb.
I thought that this was another strong episode of Dollhouse, not as solid as 'Gray Hour', but handled better than 'Stage Fright'. The climax of the episode was slightly repetitive and even though it was explained, what's-his-face-Adelle's-go-to-emergency-man showing up was a little too spontaneous for me. As if they were trying to advance the plot line too soon. At least this time, Ballard's story line really went some where, but I wish they held off on him going to investigate until next episode. They probably didn't do that though because I think he'll have a lot more to do next week, which I can't wait for. Great preview and it's the hyped sixth episode.

Wow... I predicted some of the twists in this ep but definitely not all. I must say... I think he lived up to his six-episode promise. Topher isn't annoying me anymore either.
