Amy Acker is headed for “Happy Town”

How Claire got the scars. She was attacked by Alpha when he escaped. Would totally love to see some Claire / Echo time.

I doubt that Claire was ecer Echo however. "Retired" dolls seem to end up in the "attick" so I doubt Claire was ever an active.

Obviously, I'm watching. I really like that show and can't wait for Joss's presence to shine through even more and get rid of Fox's overbearing meddling.

I went to school with miss Acker's younger brother and am thrilled that she's doing so well for herself! I'm with DorthySnarker's hunch about some girl-on-girl (wishful thinking I'm sure) but I also think you're onto something about her being the old Echo. I look forward to seeing where they take her character. Awesome work Amy!

We know how Claire got her scars, she had a bit part in the scene where Alpha shivved the crap out of the Dollhouse inhabitants; such a minor role was A Good Thing, because featured players suffered more than scars - to paraphrase Jenny Shecter "eviscerated, they were..."

I'd like to think that Illyria Scarface could run series in tandem, and that a career thesp could multi-task -  but who the hell knows the fate of programmes allocated the Fox Friday Slot of Doom? Dollhouse hasn't just made a slow start, it's made a "This stuff is by Joss Whedon? You're kidding..." kind of start. Scuttlebutt asserts that it  gets watchable about 6 or 7 episodes into the run; interesting strategy, that, but cough Firefly cough etc. 

The TV ratings battle in the States does little other than confuse those of us viewing developments from across the pond; the logic of TV execs does not resemble our Earth Logic, as Whedon might say. Currently I'm a jangled wreck, worrying over the survival quotient of Sarah Connor, how the hell they're gonna resolve the storylines in BSG, and bewailing the hideous prospect of Smallville Season 9. And why did the bad Television people pull Pushing Up Daisies?

Worst of it is, I'm a helpless onlooker; I can't exert any influence of any description (at least not until TV ratings take account of UK residents who obtain access to US programming through morally dubious interweb sources...) I can only urge AE members who have the right kind of box to Do Your Bit, watch T:SSC and Dollhouse.

I'd rather see some more Echo/Sierra moments, I think there's some kind of lez-connection there.

 No offense to Amy, she's gorgeous, I loved her in Angel  <3

Regarding the reason Alpha cut the good Dr's face...

They showed that Alpha killed the dolls but left Echo and cut up the Dr's face and one wonders why he didn't kill them too.  I'm not a psychologist but I would think there is meaning behind cutting someone's face and not killing them.  

In the flashback after Alpha escapes those were some wicked scars.

kind of off subject

i've always hated wishbone. my be-all, never-miss-an episode, all-time, all-world favorite show as a kid was ghostwriter.  and i would always watch it at the same time when i got home from school.  but one day i came home, turn to my local pbs station and there was no ghostwriter, just this silly talking dog.  i lost it.

also, i was kind of a lit snob(/elitist jerk) of a 10 year old. . . and something about the talking dog doing homer, shakespeare, poe, etc just rubbed me the wrong way.

but about a acker/dollhouse

i've not a clue as to the implications of her new pilot for dollhouse, but i'm hoping to hold on to both dr. saunders and the dollhouse for quite a bit longer.

Forget SM Gellar, A Hannigan, C Carpenter.  Amy Acker ROCKED in ANGEL.  What a complete change she made from Fred to Illyria.  I'm STILL is awe of her acting skills there.  Besides the whole Tara/Willow death scene ... I'm STILL pissed off at Joss Whedon for NEVER getting Fred and Wesley together.

Amy Acker deserves all the attention she gets.  She's awesome.
