The pro-bending scenes reminded me of the Quidditch matches in the first couple of Harry Potter movers. Cool idea, but in reality extremely dull to watch and seriously who cares whether or not a team wins at a fictional sport in a world where teenagers hurl the elements at each other in battles of life and death?

I still pick "Gary shoots a bird" as the worst of the random out-of-nowhere breakups.

Man, can you imagine how good Dollhouse would've been if Maslany had played Echo instead of Dushku?

The fact that this very strong episode (with admittedly a few weak points, such as the GI's role) got landed with a C while the horribly generic Crimson Horror and pathetically underwhelming Nightmare in Silver got an A and a B, tells me that I need to start looking somewhere else for Doctor Who reviews.

Heh, sexy 69.

See, I thought the cast looked slightly embarassed and uninvested throughout. Donald Glover is the brightest young talent in comedy, but throughout the paintball fight sequence, he delivered his lines like he was ashamed to be there.

Genuinely good episodes:
1. Basic Human Anatomy (by a long way)2. Co-operative Escapism in Familiar Relations (Brilliant A-plot, a poor B-plot lets it down)
3. Herstory of Dance (Genuinely felt like a decent mid-S1 episode)

Favourite Episode: Paradigms of Human Memory
