I must be the only one who never once cared for Summer Glau in anything, so her appearance here doesn't mean anything to me.

I like Summer Glau and she did a fine job in Terminator, She's cute, but she's a little too small and skinny in stature for me to regard her as hot.

Liked the Wesley/Faith Reunion. And I too did not see that twist coming. I'm really going to miss this show...
Victor as Topher is killing me. He's doing such a great job; nailing the voice and mannerisms. Victor is probably the best part about this show, lol.

Dammit. I totally missed this. And I was really looking forward to seeing Summer Glau. 
I definitely need to pick up the season 2 release. Any date for it yet?

LOVED the Faith/Wesley reunion. The only thing that would have made it sweeter would be if Amy Acker was still in the cast.

I like the double play of the title "The Left Hand." Obviously, it refers to Bennett's wounded arm, but I also think it's a play on the phrase "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing," referring how the LA Dollhouse was in the dark about what the DC Dollhouse had been up to. Rossum literally pitted two of their Dollhouses against each other.
As for Bennett and Caroline's history, here's my take:
Bennett and Caroline were friends, and Bennett was helping Caroline with taking down the Dollhouse. Some sort of accident/explosion happened while they were inside a Rossum/Dollhouse facility, Bennett got trapped, and Caroline bolted. Bennett got caught/rescued by the Dollhouse, and recruited her.
I'm guessing Bennett was a genius neuroscientist before Dollhouse, and was probably originally befriended by Caroline specifically because she needed Bennett's expertise in helping take down Dollhouse.
The only problem I had was this seeming plothole: If the entire Perrin/November exposure plot was planned by Rossum, why did they keep the LA Dollhouse in the dark, and even worse send their boss to chastise LA for their "failure." Did Rossum think the LA Dollhouse wouldn't do something? Or did they expect LA to try and stop it, but just not as competently (to near success)?

No date yet and do yourself a favor and upgrade your internet connection to DSL or Cable modem. The 56K connection is depriving from stuff like Hulu.com where you can watch these 2 episodes you missed.

Enver Gjokaj was amazing in this episode. He had Topher's mannerisms down, freakily so.

I liked seeing Topher and Bennett together. "Did you try to tase me?" 
I was hoping to get some more info on her background with Caroline, so I hope there's more before the last episode.
and yeah, Victor as Topher = awesome.

"Imagine John Cassavetes in The Fury as a hot chick." "Which you know I often have!" - Topher/Victor Topher. Seriously, that guy playing Victor has the acting CHOPS.

This was a great set of episodes. They should have aired these before the break, as I felt like the first part of this season was mostly a cinematic turd.
