Good to see her on-board. I have no idea whether she's a permanent fixture on the show, but I hope that she is. Summer Glau is definitely a reason to watch. Good to see her on-board.

Until next time then.

I got so mad at you reading this, because I'm very unaware when it comes to plot twists and I know that you predicted the Mellie/November reveal, which I didn't, and now also the Perrin reveal, which hit me from left field...I should pay better attention! But, actually, the whole motivation of Rossum is fairly easy to figure out: what they need is unobstruction, and Daniel Perrin provides that by way of Madeline. If they can prove that the Dollhouse is real (and, I'm assuming, kill DeWitt to shut her up) and not linked to Rossum, then they not only have a senatorial puppet with enough ambition to run for president, they also get absolved publicly of all wrongdoing, eliminate the Dollhouse rumors, eliminate the LA Dollhouse, and get back to whatever they were scheming before. The thing with Echo is that she's still imprinted (halfway) as the hooker in this episode, so she hasn't really gotten as self-aware as she was during "Vows," just sort of drifting in between. Maybe that's an excuse, maybe not. And, also, with the car -- that was just not having the money to get a different car during the episode, or maybe they just assumed viewers wouldn't notice. At least, that's my conjecture. Looking forward to your always honest assessment of "The Left Hand." Wow, you really *are* catching up with the rest of the season before Friday, aren’t you?
