trillianastraUm, you know in the Doctor Who episode "Journey's End"?
Well, this might be just because I was just watching Dollhouse, but it occurred to me that the memory-wiping thing that the Doctor did to stop Donna's brain from going *asplode* was... kind of similar to the way Actives get wiped. Not in the method, obviously... but in the effect on the brain, if that makes sense.
It just makes me wonder, because Dollhouse is at the point where certain Actives (or one in particular, anyway) are retaining memories *after* being wiped. But then, none of them were involved in any metacrises.
I don't know. It's too late for this kind of thinking, I'm going to bed.
(PS. It's bad that I think Alpha's kinda hot, right? That's got to be a bad thing...)
