Wait, what? A new season already? When does this air?
*googles, wikis, blinks in surprise*
Yesterday? Okay, someone at FOX needs to do their job better if I didn't even know this show was coming back. I figured like everything else it wouldn't start the new season 'til 2010.
Oh, thank goodness. It's on Hulu already!

I knew it was coming, but only caught the second half. I was disappointed that it was an "engagement of the week" episode, rather than building on the mythos more substantially.

Yes, but they totally dropped the ball on advertising to the segment of the population that actively avoids watching TV.

But see I walked away from the finale last year thinking he was ALREADY her handler. So I was actually surprised to discover that he still needed to move into that role. I may have been confused by Epitaph 1.

Decent, but as usual everyone was more interesting than the lead.
I'm confused as to why Boyd is describing Echo's current mission as "sick." Ballard is using Echo to take down an arms dealer from the inside, and that's sick? That seems to me to be the exact opposite of sick; it seems to me to be the only real "good" purpose for the Dollhouse we've seen. It's too much of a 360 from Boyd's character for me to really buy that line, and it's a stupid line nonetheless.
The episode was really about Topher and Claire though, and that part was quite messed up, in a good way. One reason I'm glad that I saw Epitaph One is that Topher's admission as to caring about people seems a little more plausible after seeing that. It's obvious that, despite what he told Claire, he really does hate himself, and she's an extention/reflection of that self-loathing into someone else. Does that make her a real person, a human being? It's an interesting question that I hope is further explored. There's another question Claire hints at. The personas that the Actives are given; are they human, and do they deserve to exist as humans, and is the Dollhouse not just taking away the lives of the original Actives, but those of the constructed personas?

I figured out the start dates for everything by reading the fall preview series at IGN (a site better known for video games) ...
