I actually went off Nathan Fillion for awhile due to S7 of Buffy; I hope I don't have a similar reaction to Alan as Alpha.
Yes! I had only watched a few episodes of Firefly when it was on the air due to the Friday night timeslot of doom, so when Fillion appeared as a Buffy villain it quickly became my dominant impression of him. When I got more into Firefly, I spent a long time being twitchy and expecting the Captain to go for the eyes. I don't want to feel the need to throw my arms in front of my face whenever I see dear Wash, but I suppose if I do then Dollhouse is doing its job.
Paul is in the right, but what he's doing is stupid and would get Echo hurt, traumatized, or killed.
Yes! By "rescuing" her in her wiped doll state, he isn't even rescuing Caroline. That personality isn't present. All he's doing is trying to take Echo into a world she isn't prepared for. In the bigger picture, Boyd is complicit in the evil of the Dollhouse. However, he's more likable (and less crazy-obsessive) than Ballard, and in the small picture of this episode he's more or less in the right. Joss messes with our minds, and I like it.
