GHOST IN THE MACHINE?

Here's something that's had me puzzling lately as I've been watching 'Dollhouse' - Where are they getting the personalities and memories that they upload into their computers? Do certain types of people volunteer or get paid to donate the essence of their minds?

When Topher mentioned that Echo's "spy-hunter" persona was an expert in reading body language, I wondered if somebody from "Lie To Me" had their personality uploaded.

And that's when I came up with this idea - what if the mole (who's been feeding information to Agent Ballard) is in the computer itself? Maybe a whole mind is intact in there, and seeking revenge! It would certainly explain why nobody gets caught around the equipment and tampering with the downloads into the Actives - it IS the equipment.

Just sayin', is all.....

BCnU!

I have these stacked up in my dvr, we have only watched the first 4 or so. I am always reluctant to trust Fox....

I just read that they have decided that whether they renew the show or not, they won't show episode 13 which was the intended wrap-up to season 1. So, now I am inclined not to bother watching anymore....


I wasn't impressed with the first few, but I did think they were getting better as they went. Are they awfully good? That might help me decide

The last three have been quite good, and this past one was quite dense in its over-layered plots. Somewhat like a "Rashomon" tale in a way.

I'd say yeah, keep with it.
