Trivia:
The name of the character played by Matt Keesler is "Richard Connell." The actual Richard Connell is the author of the famous 1924 short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," in which a shipwreck survivor is forced to run for his life from a murderous game hunter who has become bored with mere animal prey - the plot of this episode. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: At the beginning of the episode, when the security team is running down the stairs at the Dollhouse, the second guy from the front trips on a step just as Laurence starts to say "Secure the exits.". more
Quotes:
Dr. Claire Saunders: Alpha is dead. After he - after what he did, they tracked him down and put a bullet in his brain.
Boyd Langdon: And they'd never lie to us about something like that, would they? Alpha could've killed Echo when he escaped, but he didn't. A wake of bodies, but he left her alive. Now someone hires some nutjob to hunt her down in the woods. Maybe it was Alpha, maybe not. Only thing I really know is it all leads back to Echo.

So much better than the pilot!, 22 February 2009
8/10
Author: teleiap from United States

I loved Buffy, I sorta like Angel, I love Dr. Horrible, and I just recently watched Firefly after failing to get into Serentiy twice. So I've been waiting for Dollhouse to premiere for what seems like forever.

Unlike the pilot, which was somewhat convoluted (with all the necessary exposition and everything), this episode flew by! After "Ghost" I was a little worried about this new show, but that worry's gone now.

The main story was interesting; Echo's responses in particular were interesting. The writing was good... I was hooked. Humor was the only thing missing, but I heard that it'll enter into the series a little later.

I'm definitely giving Joss the full 7 episodes. Not only has he earned it, but this episode made me want to see more.
