Join us, Gemma and Rowan, for a slow in arriving episode re-watch of Joss Whedon's The Dollhouse. In episode 5, True Believer, Echo/Eliza/Caroline is a blind cult member called Esther, Boyd is a cuddly action man again and Ballad does, well, fuck all to be honest. 

In this episode, Rowan is confused between the floomfy haired cult members and Gemma still doesn't know Amy Acker's character name. Our Bible studies fail us horribly in this religious laden episode with many a reference to the Garden of Eden and probably much more we missed. Ballad is given the SAME DVD AS LAST TIME. WHY? and watches it over and over. Amy Acker and Fran Kranz have some quality comedy time together and we see First Name Last Name's true colours. 

We ask, why DOES Olivia seem to like Echo so much? Just how long can the cold open go on? Is Topher a psychopath? How did Echo/Esther do her make up so well if blind? Can you hear a smile? Do blind people really do that stroking faces things and could you really recognise a person you'd never met this way? 

Also up for question, why is the FBI unit in Hollywood watching local Arizona news? We fail to understand Captain Nathan Sparrow's motivation behind the cult, does he have a fire proof room? We are disappointed by his lame cult inductions, where are the candles the long white gowns, the incantations? How does Ballad have such bad security as an FBI agent that even dippy Mellie can break in? How many man reactions did Victor have in the shower? Did Topher have a man reaction watching the tapes of Victor's man reaction? Will the term man reaction ever stop being funny? 

Most importantly, did the episode fulfil the correct number of Eliza compliments? Did we mention that she's pretty? Did we? 

Phew, enjoy and see you next time.
