My thoughts exactly.

Fan-fucken-tastic. This was an amazing episode. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The performances were great, and it was an emotional rollercoaster for me.

As others have said, and as I have said from the beginning, Dushku is the weak link.

When you really think about what that guy did to Priya, it is so unbelievably psychotic and disgusting. I think the reason they couldn't let her go was because it wouldn't help them cover up the story. They needed his disappearance to be completely unexplainable. Why leave without the girl? What happened? Did he have guilt about what he was doing when she was finally his? If she's an active again, she's not someone they would think to question, and she's probably safer under their watch than being questioned by the higher ups.

Either way I LOVED this episode. It should have started the season off. What the fuck were they thinking airing the other bullshit episodes before this? What a fucking idiotic thing for them to do. It actually makes me angry that they screwed up this second season so badly.

I pretty much agree with you on all fronts. I remember when the series started thinking :"if this show has to be carried by Eliza Dushku's range as an actress, then it's screwed." In a perfect world, after the first season Eliza would have agreed to become a background character and take a paycut so the show could survive and they could make more eps like this one. But like I said, that's a pretty perfect world.

THIS is what I had always hoped this show would be! Agree that this was the best episode of the series so far.

It did occur to me later on that apparently Boyd hasn't been watching Breaking Bad otherwise he never would have put Fun Bobby in the tub. That's going to be a big mess.

:lol: Fun Bobby. Nearly forgot that he played that guy on Friends

Really enjoyed this episode and hope we start to see more of the origin episodes of the other dolls later. Its interesting to see the relationship between Victor and Sierra start to develop as well, especially as it almost seems to start from something childish but develops into something bigger even when they're dolls.

Re: Dollhouse -- "Belonging" -- 10/23/09
 

As others have said, this is easily one of the best episodes of the series and might be one of the best episodes of any Whedon show ever.

Re: Dollhouse -- "Belonging" -- 10/23/09
 

Definitely an amazing episode. It reminded me of the days of "Passion," "Innocence," "the Gift," "The Body," and "I Will Remember"...

Re: Dollhouse -- "Belonging" -- 10/23/09
 

that's alot of days

Re: Dollhouse -- "Belonging" -- 10/23/09
 

Really good episode. But you guys are overhyping it.

That may be because the season has been such shit, a bright moment is delusional ;)

:rolleyes:

Oh come on. It was a decent episode, but let's not let the Whedon Reality Distortion Field take over.
