The Naked Dollhouse

Okay, when y'all said episode 6 was where it gets good? You were so wrong. Episode 6 was the worst of the lot. Episode 7, now, why didn't you say episode 7 was where it gets good?

Okay, plot totally stolen from Star Trek, but hey, TNG stole it from TOS, so we'll forgive the additional stealing. Once people were tripping, we got some actual Whedon dialogue. I may not even be ashamed to use/abuse the quote "the drawer of inappropriate starches".

I started enjoying some of the characters more. I hesitate to ever like any of them, because they're probably all of them evil jerks in some way or another.

And you do start to wonder if it's rape if a person knowingly volunteered for this mindless use of their body. Not that it's as simple as that, since there's all sorts of coercion and different motivations going on.

That part was pretty cute, though it actually reminded me more of Buffy's "Band Candy" initially, though "The Naked Now" is probably a better comparison.

I thought Echo's backstory was kind of lame, though. We'll see how it develops, I guess.
