OK first of all, it's Echo not Eco.

Next, "At any rate, all of our questions about who the spy was in the Dollhouse got answered on this episode." Ummm not so fast dude. Lawrence Dominic may be a spy but he is not THE spy. Think, why on earth would he go to such extreme measures in order for Ballard to find out about the Dollhouse's purpose?  It doesn't add up. He's a spy to protect the Dollhouse not bring it down, and besides, I don't think he has the technical capabilities too.  In essence, yes he is a spy but not the one that has been sending Ballard those messages. I'm guessing it's either Boyd or Saunders. Echo's inspection with Boyd was null-ed because she cannot not trust him. Saunders because the inspection was cut short. This episode deserves more than just a B please.

Oops sorry I didn't read your last line. But the opening sentence of the last paragraph seems to contradict it!

I normally hate the whole "let's start the episode at the end and then we'll show you what happened x number of hours before the end" gimmick, but this episode was pretty darn good despite that flaw.  It deserves at least an A -. 

And yes, I agree with you, ignite, it doesn't make any sense for Dominic to be THE spy.  He's just a spy.  Saunders is the obvious choice to be THE spy so that probably rules her out at least I hope it does.  It'd be a little boring and anti-climatic if she was THE spy.  Unfortunately, my guess is that we'll never find out who THE spy really is since FOX has doomed this show from the very beginning by delaying the premiere for more than a year, putting it on Friday nights, and by making Joss and company dumb-down the first 5 episodes of the show so that by the time the series actually got interesting there is only but the most diehard of viewers left watching the show. 

Sorry for the rant, but damn I hate FOX.

It has been getting better. I thought Dominic was a spy for the feds because they had potential uses for the dolls as extreme undercover operatives. THE spy is really more of a saboteur because he or she has been messing with doll programming to undermine the whole business. I assumed that Amy Ackerman was sending the messages to Ballard and making Echo resilient to doll programming. She probably tried with Alpha first, but he wasn't stable enough. (And she paid the price) But Echo seems able to handle her emerging memories.

It's too bad about it being cancelled. I assume it's being cancelled. They should just move it to CW or SciFi - a lower network with a little more patience.

What?  The show ain't canceled yet.  What happened was that Fox ordered 13 episodes for Dollhouse, they used one of those 13 up when Whendon had to redo the pilot.  So that means there were only 12 available.

Fox isn't under any obligation to show the episode you are talking about because it would be the 14th episode and they had only picked up 13.

Furthermore, the last episode of the season is what was always was gonna be as the season finale and they are gonna have it on DVD so at least people will get to see it. 

I really like the show and really have been seeing it improve from week to week now that initial exposition is done...

My wife actually really likes it too ... and she is - if anything - anti-scifi (and I dont mean that as neutral) ... she keeps commenting, and may have a point, that they did a terrible job advertising and promoting the show.   A naked profile of Eliza Dushku - whoever much I may find it compelling - she said made her sure she would have no interest in the show and she never would have watched it if I hadnt pushed her to.  BUT now that she had watched it she loves it and has recommended it to a bunch of her friends too... I think she has a point... there are elements of the show that would have appealed to the CSI / LaO crowd but they were targetted (and potentially turned off) by the advertising.

This show was doomed from the start. Joss Whedon got lucky with Buffy and since then things have gone down hill!!!!
