Finally caught up. Honestly, i wish more shows were compressed like this. There are some events that could stand to be expanded on, but honestly, many of the events don't, as is true for all TV shows, and if this had been a five year run, we would've had the renegade echo YEAR instead of just the episode. I really admire the way Joss has compressed this.
I do grow weary of seeing the originally hardcore Adelle reduced to... a sniveling mess. The fact that she started out with a science bent is interesting, if odd.
But honestly, it paid off in spades with that shot of all the characters in the same room. Just pure pwnage. Boyd is still my favorite. But Alpha became my second favorite character in his episode. "You're out of paper." Glorious, if not brilliant. Also, his deduction of Ballard being in love because he DIDN'T sleep with Echo. I'm not used to seeing so much Tudyk villain (V Miniseries as well), but it's working out swimmingly.
Theories:
Boyd's "personal issues" assuredly involve Whiskey, and not something wack (and actually personal) like a long-lost daughter.
Mr. Ambrose is Clyde's partner, and Harding is Clyde 2.0. He's all about 'orders from the top, you understand.' Bennet could be Clyde 2.0 as well, as a dark horse, and as a tie to Caroline seeing them, but she'd be a non-traditional (unzappable) pseudo-doll if so.
As theorized, they took out Ballard's love for Echo. It makes glorious sense.
The original purpose of the Dollhouses is testing, and deflection of purpose. The ultimate goal of Rossum is likely something shortsighted, like money or Ambrose/Clyde's partner's personal fetish or something.
