Experiments on humans
So Rossum was doing experiments on humans. What did those experiments involve? It couldn't be the dollhouse mind wiping because, presumably, right after Caroline got caught she was made the offer to become a doll, so that technology already existed at the time. Also, when are we going to see

All the world's a stage
I think my favorite part of the episode was when all of the dolls are standing around on campus, playing their various roles and figuring out how to handle the situation. It was a bit silly, but it also felt like a beautiful little examination of the roles people play with each other in their

God help me, but I almost started liking Topher in his drug addled state, tonight. Although I could have done without seeing his package. Couldn't he have worn boxers?

Unless you're reading Twisted Toyfare in which she's being corrupted constantly.

Did you work inside a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex? Because that would be awesome.

perils of being invisible
The best part of the book is probably the way Wells alternates between the fearsome killing and fighting abilities of being invisible and the frailty and danger of being invisible (at one point the invisible man is nearly killed while walking down the sidewalk because a pedestrian that didn't

The way they explain it in the book is that until the food is metabolized by his body it is visible. That doesn't really make sense because the science behind his invisibility has to do with refraction of light which would make anything inside his body invisible, too. But it makes for gross/funny thoughts of a of a

I mentioned this on another comment board, but there's a really great train wreck in the movie (not in the book) and I just love a good train wreck.

Tapping the Vein
Zach - did you ever read Clive Barker's comic series "Tapping the Vein". One issue has "In the Hills, The Cities" with typically beautiful and grotesque artwork. If you haven't you should check it out.

vest phaser
My favorite part of "Archons" is seeing Spock pull his hand phaser out of his vest like an old-tymey pocket watch.

Three Stooges
While I'm at it :

Pink Panther
I don't even know which one it is but this exchange :

I love old Daffy better than Bugs. But my favorite Looney Tunes exchange doesn't involve either of them. It's the dog trying to convince Porky Pig to adopt him.

"Everyone I know has a big but. Tell me about your big but, Simone."

"Yeeeeeeeehhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Just like fucking Saigon, eh, Slick!"

Since you mention "Airplane" JonDavid, one of the funniest things I've ever seen is when that movie out-onioned the Onion :

Torture Reversal
I love how they reverse the roles from season one so that instead of Sayid torturing Sawyer they twist it and now Sawyer is trying to protect Sayid from being tortured. Not because it moves the plot along or adds to the characters (which it does), but because it's an example of the show having a

Yeah, that asian girl is super, super cute, but… not a good actress, sadly. I still wouldn't mind seeing her stab Topher to death and take his place, though.

who's good who's bad
I'm not sure how I feel about the show's attitude toward the relative morality of the dollhouse. It seems like they've set up people working at the dollhouse who are basically decent people, but abducting people and using them as prostitutes and hit men is so utterly wrong. I like having the

That's what I'm thinking, too. Of course, it seems like the obvious choice would be Boyd, but that's why I don't think it's him. Also, whoever it is would need to be someone who has a working knowledge of imprinting the dolls.
