Yeah, I'm REALLY NOT SURE what to think about Ballard. I was onboard with him when he released November in the finale, and then there was this left-field assignment where Echo's somehow his partner and pretending to marry a crime lord and . . . it was twisty and weird and I didn't like it.
On the note of Ballard as her handler--have you seen Epitaph One? I got it from Netflix this weekend and it HURT MY BRAIN (not in a bad way . . . mostly). It's like really good fanfic. There's a lot in there about where the whole Echo/Caroline-Ballard relationship might be going.
Whiskey is definitely Dollhouse's madwoman in the attic. Also, she got the best line in the episode (Topher=sociopath in a sweatervest!). I like that they seem to be toying with the idea that the dolls might actually be new people, created when a person is mindwiped.
Though I liked Whiskey's role in that better than Echo's . . . Echo suddenly having a definite personality was weird. I mean, she was developing it toward the end of last season, but it felt too fast.
Also, I love Boyd. Not sure where the Boyd/Whiskey thing is going, but I trust his morality WAY more than Ballard's.
