They need to hire better science people at all the Dollhouses, apparently. Probably. They need to hire better science people at all the Dollhouses, apparently.

Maybe that explains how Alpha got into the Dollhouse during his episode this season! As you may recall, I didn't find it very credible that he managed to somehow show up in DeWitt's office, seeing as how the Dollhouse has amazing technology and security and since they were supposedly on the lookout for him. But maybe this now explains it. Maybe he just knocked and some moron let him in! Ha! Maybe that explains how Alpha got into the Dollhouse during his episode this season!

It would've made more sense for her to fight Boyd! Dr. Saunders as herself was not a bad guy and the person inside her had very little relation to the story. I still thought it was kinda fun. And suspect Joss just wanted to have two pretty women fight. There was one thing that bothered me about the spinal tap that I forgot to mention. Someone walks up to the door and knocks and one of the technicians just answers it? I mean, it's a secret lab and you have to swipe your card or something to get in and they know that there are other captives in the building who probably don't want Echo hurt, why would Scientist Guy just answer the door? "Oh who is it? You want to rescue her? Well come right in!" Seemed unrealistic. Anyone who was supposed to be in that room would've had a key! I did NOT expect that fight scene.

I thought the episode was great, and I particularly loved Enver’s Topher impression and the death scenes. And, like you, I’m really wondering about the Alpha situation. I initially figured that they would have to deal with him somehow, as the show is ending. But we’re down to the last episode, and it appears that most (if not all) of that episode will take place 10 years in the future. I imagine that they’ll have too many other important story lines going on to once again introduce Alpha, and I would also find it odd if Alpha is still randomly showing up to harass Echo after 10 years have gone by. Then again, he’s sort of an evil genius, so maybe he had something to do with bringing about the “thought-pocalypse.” I mean, in season 1 he built an imprint-chair in a basement, and he also was the first to figure out how to do remote wipes, so maybe he found out what Rossum/Topher were up to and built his own remote imprint device (which could have then put Rossum back on track). I think I’ll be surprise either way—if he shows up in the last episode or if he’s left out of the last episode. All I know is that I’m strongly hoping for a happy ending for Victor and Sierra. In the unaired final episode (from Season 1), it was indicated that the two of them had split up—which I was not entirely happy about. Victor’s adorable, and Sierra’s been through enough crap already. I want them both alive and together when the dust settles! Oh, one thing about last night’s episode: How about that Echo/Saunders fight scene?! At the time, Saunders had a guy using her body (who therefore dressed her in masculine-looking suits and ties). I think I just found it interesting that Saunders was in a hard-core fist-fight at all. Amy Ackers is really cute, but she’s pretty little and scrawny. Eliza Dushku, on the other hand, does seem to have some muscle on her. And I don’t mean to say that I found the fight scene unbelievable—I mean, Echo did win; plus, she had just gone through a spinal tap that would likely have left her weaker than usual, and Saunders’ host could have uploaded her with upgraded fighting abilities. I just found it a little funny to see Amy Ackers in a brutal hand-to-hand combat scene! I totally agree with your review.
