More Sierra this episode? Will it even remotely make up for the faux pop plot? We can dream!
21:03: How come the star is the only one wearing a bedazzled bathing suit?
21:04: Stop drop and roll people! Did they teach you nothing in elementary school? And silly Sierra, don’t you know you’re supposed to cool down before you get off the treadmill? People are missing all these essential life lessons!
21:06: Stalky neighbor is the best security system ever!
21:08: Where exactly did that weird panorama come from? Did he bring it along just to prove that people stalk a pop star?
21:13: Wouldn’t it be better if Echo was aware she had mad ninja skillz, even if she was unaware of her subconscious imperative to protect her pop star BFF?
21:14: Echo’s name is Jordan! And she is standing around in a flowery bra! Oh wait, she’s being fitted, that makes it a little more okay. Only not.
21:16: “Stop. STOP. WHO IS EATING A MINT?” Okay, I smiled a little at this – and the previous “scowly babies” line.
21:20: WHOAH WHAT? VICTOR? Is that how quick you can get picked up by the Dollhouse? Do they have magic little spy cameras everywhere?
21:21: Is that seriously the best cover they had for Sierra? Couldn’t they get her a fake assistant job or something? At least then they could have someone reasonably roaming around the catwalk while Young Alan Tudyk-ish man assembles a sniper rifle out of crutches.
21:26: Wait what? Was Victor already in the Dollhouse? Is he being programmed daily to be a skeezy Russian mobster? Is that asshole guy at the Dollhouse who wanted to get rid of Ballard responsible for this? Is Victor really attractive enough to be a doll? The questions!
21:27: AGENT BALLARD NO. I KNOW YOU HAVE NO LOVEHANDLES TO ABSORD THAT BULLET, IT’S ALL MUSCLE. ;_;
21:29: “My girl only comes into play in extreme scenarios.” Whuh oh.
21:32: You know I’m pretty sure there are ways to stop being a pop start besides getting shot. Just sayin’.
21:35: Oh no, Sierra is going to get shot, isn’t she?
21:36: Okay, Sierra is officially not shot! Carry on.
21:38: Sweetie, I don’t think anyone saw your jangly bikini and thought you weren’t a factory girl.
21:40: Come on Sierra! Ninja skillz, go!
21:43: Ninja skillz… go?….
21:46: Okay, seriously, couldn’t they have saved a ton of money and not deployed a SWAT team if they gave Sierra some goddamn ninja skillz?
21:48: Thank God, someone gave that girl a proper boot to the head.
21:54: What do you mean, “not just yet”? Also, Raina’s false eyelashes seem to be falling off.
21:56: The Attic? Oooooo.
21:58: How did Stalky Neighbor even find out Ballard was in the hospital? I sincerely doubt she’s on his emergency contact list. Unless he’s got a cat she needs to feed or somethig.
21:59: That little headshake was very strange. Does she remember Sierra? Does she remember those creepy suits? Does she just have an icky feeling? Also, WHAT WAS THE POINT of Sierra in that episode?
Not a spectacular episode, but two was good enough to make me want to hold out. Plus, I’ve been hearing rumors that Whedon’s voice emerges from the studio stranglehold around episode 6. Fingers crossed.
No sleeping through Terminator tonight! Go go liveblog!
20:01: I am really not big on these Sarah monologues.
20:03: Distracting trespassers with jackals and then tasering them? Sneaky!
20:04: Actually I’m pretty sure you’d die if you couldn’t sleep for two or three years. Just sayin’.
20:05: Also, for a sleep clinic, they make some somewhat unproductive sleep arrangements. Read: roommates. Couldn’t Sarah spring for a facility where she wasn’t sharing with Smokey McPedophilepants?
20:06: Awww, Cameron cooks! She smiles! How I have missed her. She really is the best part of this show, can’t we have more? Don’t they know that would save the show?
20:13: Wait, Sarah used a cross-dresser and a hypnotherapist to find Iron & Metal? Did I miss that episode?
20:17: You know, I’m pretty sure having insomnia is not the same thing as sleeping and having nightmares. Not like I’m a scientist or anything, but neither is “They say if you die in your dreams you die in real life” Sarah Conner.
20:21: Taser burns, what?
20:31: Also I’m pretty sure every “stop insomnia!” advice I’ve heard ever has been against naps. Can you tell I’m sort of bored by this episode and can only comment on the faux sleep science?
Commercial Break: WATCHMEN PREVIEW. Best part of this episode.
20:55: Is it time for Dollhouse yet? Seriously, I have nothing to say about this episode, other than too much crazy Sarah, too little Cameron.
20:56: Ow, teeth. And ow, shot Terminator. But I’m also pretty sure they don’t go down with three bul- OH SHIT JOHN. WHERE THE HELL IS CAMERON? Also, watch this be a dream, and the kidnap scenario be reality.
20:58: Ugh, ugh, ugh, sudden preponderance of gore. Don’t you need that thumb Sarah?
20:59: AUGH WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE. This episode was so peaceful, with mere suggestions of people on fire, and now you pull out chest shots and snapped thumbs and needles to the eye within the same three minutes? Though that extremely close range headshot seems to have resulted in absolutely no bloodspatter. I don’t really get that.
That was weird and unsatisfying. I demand more Cameron, dead Riley, and less Sarah. Now, to Dollhouse!
