Storyline

Echo is imprinted with the personality of a fun-loving, seductive college student as the behest of a Casanova college professor seeking to relive his youth. Echo's mission collides with Victor's mission when he is imprinted with the personality of the psychotic nephew/serial killer of one of the Dollhouse's shareholders. Ballard then takes over both cases as he races the clock to save some hostages held by the comatose killer, while Victor escapes and plots to use Echo as his latest 'creation'.

User Reviews

i get it

This is for Joss Whedon.

Most of them won't get it, but i'm glad you are out there 'getting' it. And that i can partake in it.

With regards to season 2 episode, "Belle chose", i think Alister Crowley said it best: "This is the Mystery of Babylon, the Mother of Abominations, and this is the mystery of her adulteries, for she hath yielded up herself to everything that liveth, and hath become a partaker in its mystery. And because she hath made her self the servant of each, therefore is she become the mistress of all. Not as yet canst thou comprehend her glory.

"Beautiful art thou, O Babylon, and desirable, for thou hast given thyself to everything that liveth, and thy weakness hath subdued their strength. For in that union thou didst understand. Therefore art thou called Understanding, O Babylon, Lady of the Night!" keep it up: enough of us love it.
