In which we discuss episode 6 - Man on the Street, the episode that was intended as the pilot.
Welcome back to another roller coaster, this episode discusses the moral implications of the Dollhouse. We wonder how Ballad is still working at all, what is he supposed to be working on? Just what IS the name of one of Patton Oswalt's businesses and why is he so loveable (we love Patton). Why does takeaway always come in those same container in American TV? Is it a prop department trope?
What HAS happened to Ballad to make him want to rescue women in this way, does Patton have his number?
Why are there so many handlers that we have never seen before? How did Herne the Hunter think he was going to get away with this? Is there precedent, what normally happens to people who get punished in the Dollhouse?
Most importantly, how did they know Ballad would go out for a takeaway and where he would go and how did they know the phone would go to answer machine?
Questions questions and so many wobbly grey areas of moral certitude.
