Hey Gasmi, this week on Dollhouse we find out all evil in the world comes from bad haircuts. See what I'm talking about after the jump.
Okay, as soon as our episode starts this week we are in the poop. For starters we are in some creepy warehouse type place dealing with a very creepy guy. How do we know he's creepy, let me count the ways. He talks a lot like Kenneth from 30 Rock minus the endearing Southern accent. He's way, way into posing some mannequins, and I'm sorry while there is nothing wrong with a small boy playing with dolls, there is something very ungood about a grown man playing with life sized dolls (yeah, I'm looking at you Charlie Sheen). Oh and just to make sure everyone knows he's creepy, he's sporting a Crispin Glover haircut, which we all know only serious whackjobs ask for at their local Super Cuts. What? What's my proof? Do I really need any more then Crispin Glover?
We pretty much jump clean off the creepy scale when we see one of the mannequins starts to sweat. Yep, he's posing real living women. We're not two minutes into the show and we are deep in Silence of the Lambs territory, and it quickly goes from bad to worse. He's drugging these women with stuff in these big assed hypos and one of the women manages to jab him with an aforementioned bigass hypo. This leads to Creepy Crispin Glover Hair Dude wailing on her melon with a croquet mallet, which leads to him hitting the streets in search of another life sized Bratz doll.
He hits the streets of LA and he's feeling pretty groggy from getting jabbed with that bigassed hypo, because when he sees the next woman he wants to snatch he walks directly out into traffic. Well don't worry because drivers are always aware of pedestrians right? Just kidding, it's LA so he gets pancaked within three steps and we cut to the opening credits.
We come back to the Dollhouse where Agent Pucker Face (Paul Ballard) is looking for Echo down in the showers. Echo's in her full on Special Ed wiped mode so she doesn't have a problem with being buck neeked in front of Agent Pucker Face. Agent Pucker Face gets all flustered like these are the first set of boobies he's ever seen and gets Echo into a towel so the network censor won't have a conniption fit. Then once she's decent, he herds her over to the chair so we can see who Eliza Dushku-bibble gets to be this week.
Meanwhile DeWitt and Boyd are taking a little walk though the Dollhouse and talking about everyone's favorite runaway brainwashed pretend doctor, Whiskey Sour. It turns out she didn't just go out for a ride two episodes ago, no she left, beat it, scrammed, vamoosed, isn't getting paid because she isn't on the show this week. Errr, I mean she's gone.
DeWitt is a little steamed because they can't seem to find her, and Boyd is suffering from a severe case of WHOGAS (WHO-Gives-A-Sh#T) and says Claire decided to leave. Dewitt pounces with an "Oooooooh, Claire" and tells Boyd to start working on getting Whiskey Sour back on my TV.
This vaguely interesting plot point gets interrupted when Victor (hey remember him?) comes up and says there is someone in Doctor Saunder's office "who is not their best." Dewitt and Boyd go in and see it's Crispin Glover Hair Dude with a bunch of tubes stuck in him and I beg to differ with Victor, because seeing as they've covered up his hair with a bunch of electrodes, I'm saying this is as good as he looks tonight.

You know, the tallfinder spam actually makes a little bit of sense with this show - tall dolls. Or something. ;)
Anyway, I wish they had gotten more of a Larry Miller looking guy to be the doll dresser - we could have had a scene reminiscent of Pretty Woman.
That bouncer is totally getting fired. And I have to say although this episode is not my favorite by a long shot, the scenes of Victor as Kiki? HILARIOUS.
I read that Fox has committed to showing all thirteen episodes of season two. YAY!!!!
Thanks for another fabulously funny recap!
SWAK, PottyMouth

Hi everyone,
PottyMouth, I never saw the tallfinder connection, but it kind of makes sense, just not with Eliza Dushku, because I think she's only slightly taller then a Keebler Elf.
The Pretty Woman montage would be cool, but there is just one problem. They are going to dress Eliza Coo-Coo-Dushku in a short skirt and high heels every time. They know it and we know it. The word isn't getting to 18 - 34 year old males, hence the shitty ratings, but I really don't think it takes that much longer to dress Echo then it does me.
The guy who played Victor did a great job, and the line "I don't know what I just said, but it's hella dirty," was a keeper.
Callie2Raccoon0: Aww I'm glad you enjoyed the recap and the Sixteen Candles reference. Actually that's my favorite 80's comedy so I have a hard time making it through the day without at least quoting it. "Loved the teapot!" See?
Anyway thanks to everyone and be sure to watch the show.
