Dollhouse episode 9: the attic is scary, Adelle's second layer.

So I've enjoyed dollhouse ever since it started, this much is true. To a certain extent. Nevertheless if I suck on this particular dick any harder it will probably drop off. But let's be honest. The show has gotten better and better with each episode. so let the weekly cocksucking party begin. Minor spoilers.

So this episode there's a spy. Another person feeding Ballard information besides Alpha. From inside the dollhouse. He/She get's caught of course, but not before some detours that show yet another dimension to this already multi-layered narrative.

For starters, we get to see what happens to individuals who get the much teased about attic sentence, and Adelle DeWitt shows a side of her that transforms her from cold-hearted British business woman into something more interesting. Something with quite a bit more layers, more fascinating, and intriguing. I hesitate to spoil it, because the reveal is quite the shocker. It puts an entirely different spin on the Adelle character moving forward.

In other news, Paul Ballard's life crumbles to even finer dust, as he discovers Melly is a doll, existing only as a tool for the dollhouse to spy on him. Paul discovers this by way of a hidden message imprinted into Melly's programming, apparently courtesy of the titular mole. A lot can be read from the scene that ensues, in which "Melly" tells Paul to keep up appearances. Subtly creepy and revealing at the same time.

Echo learns to ask this episode, which is also subtly creepy yet revealing, she requests to be imprinted so that she can help sniff out the inside man/woman. Is it an early sign of a "composite event" teased earlier in the series? Or something else?

The story played out, at least at first, like a Tarrantino movie. Told nonlinearly from different points of view, being a television show that has to make sense on some level, all the plot lines converged, and all the while the show is sowing seeds, slowly building up to our not-really-season-finale-but-apparently-is episode. Entitled Omega. Which will, if things keep up like this, be FULLY AWEOSME.

Ahem.

As I mentioned earlier, any more smoking of the cock of Dollhouse will like cause it to fall off, and my balls to shrink. So I leave you with this, a much better written, spoiler ladden review of dollhouse of the same episode. You must be a very very nice person to read this far. :)
