4) Hmm, I’m not sure I can buy this idea as easily. Wouldn’t “Kiki” have looked down at her body or arms at some point, or seen a reflection of herself in the mirror? By the time we saw ‘her’ she was drunk and had been at the club for a while – plenty of time for her to realise, imo. I guess this is just a contrivance I’ll have to deal with.

Thanks for your thoughts Phoenix.

Thanks for the feedback – I should have my 2.04 thoughts up shortly.

Honestly, I think you’re being a little nit-picky in your comment about when Victor becomes Kiki. The only purpose of that scene was to bring a little comic relief to an otherwise very dark episode, and I think it did its part =P.

1) No security: it’s getting annoying, but just to let you know, that problem never gets fixed. Half the reason that “Dollhouse” even got a second season was that Joss Whedon proved that he could do it on a shoestring budget, so any money for extras (i.e., security, handlers, etc) got slashed.

2) I kind of have to agree with you on that level. Topher had said before that they were very dangerous, but I would have thought that with a mentality like Topher he would have wanted to figure out how Alpha did it last season anyway, just to prove he was smarter.

3) The reason only Echo was affected was because all the other Actives had been taken out of the field and were no longer connected to the bio-feed network. Echo/Kiki was still dancing to the radio, which is how she got the signal, so the only two personalities to switcheroo were Kiki and Terry. Still not the strongest plot point, but they tried.

4) Kiki never had it pointed out to her that she was now a guy. Terry “woke up” in Echo and immediately had that pointed out to him, not to mention he had the benefit of a mirror after he stabbed the professor. And, frankly, with that kind of a shank wound I’m really not sure that the prof *did* survive.

5) The victims were predictably victim-like, so I have to hand you that one.

6) Due to her commitment to “Happy Town,” Amy Acker will only star as Whiskey in three episodes: “Vows,” “Getting Closer,” and “The Hollow Men.” Sadly. But trust me, she does amazingly well in all three episodes. Boyd Langton comes back with a vengeance starting next week and going all the way to the end.

In any case, “Belle Chose” was one of the better standalones, but still, minus a few moments here and there, was entirely forgettable. I now *really* can’t wait for your review of “Belonging!”

I don’t think that Enver Gjoka is “underrated”. In fact, everyone still watching the show might agree that he really stands out and is the best in the ensemble.

“Kiki”s mind was most likely just altered so she thought her body was looking like Echos? Whereas Terrys was not. I wouldn’t dare touching a psycho killer if I was Topher…

Looking forward to the rest of your reviews. Especially as 2.04 is up; the episode I finally fell in love with Dollhouse. Glad you made it this far!
