Right. Boyd points out that the Dollhouse is more or less full of "pimps and killers." Ballard's entire crusade is because he finds the Dollhouse morally repugnant (even after joining it). "Man on the Street" shows about as many varied reactions from ordinary people as possible - some like the concept, some find it horrific. There's that one professor at the end of that episode who goes on the spiel that the Dollhouse tech will bring about the end of mankind. And in "Epitaph One,"

it does. Not to mention Rossum are pretty much inhuman monsters.
Overall, I got the impression that the Dollhouse organization is, at the very best, a morally gray business.

You're complaining that the story isn't the kind you like. That's like me bitching about the lack of ninjas in Robin Hood. ~CaptainChewbacca

Interesting T:SCC Season 2 review.

I think the reviewer hit the nails on the head when it comes to the storylines - individually, many episodes are weak. But if you watch them in one go, they become part of something greater.

Hopefully, Friedman will one day break his promise and show what he wanted to do.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?
