Speculations???
Mar 14 2009, 3:53 AM EDT | Post edited: Mar 14 2009, 3:53 AM EDT
So, did Laurence Dominick know that Echo could see again after being hit by Jonas, before he left to go kill her, or did he think she was still blind when he got there? Also if Victor is showing the same warning signs that Alpha showed, and they started with the arrival of Sierra, did Alpha's start with the arrival of Echo, and that's why he's so obsessed? What do yall think? Please don't give away anything though if you somehow know what happens in future episodes, this is strictly for opinions and thoughts and stuff. Do you find this valuable?

Dominick, or Security Dweeb as I like to call him, was not privy to the video feed from Echo, though he might have noted her reaction as he entered. I think he did not notice and is confident in his anonymity. He may also be relying on the wipes to fix that problem. But the more I see of him and Echo's reactions to him the more I am convinced that not only is he going down at some point, but that it will be Echo taking him down.
I saw Victor's reaction as more of the teenage boy's sort of thing--mostly innocent, slightly lustful interest. In my mind Victor will not go the way of Alpha. I'm thinking that he will become the third leg of the tripod that Echo and Sierra are forming. They will be the core that resists Dollhouse and gains eventual freedom.

From what I saw he thought she was blind. That would explain why he only shot once. Maybe if he knew she could see (no one there did back at the dollhouse) then he might have known things where up and trying emptying the gun, not that he really had time to.

I think that the reason his is showing signs of what Victor did is because they kept having him be the same person. Or at least that is kinda what thoper said he thought it was. But that being said we have seen that some how people do keep some memory some how. Maybe him eating with Sierra all the time has caused this.

In terms of what is going to go on in the future I'm not sure. But Laurence will at least try to be taken down by Echo in some way. Assuming her Handler doesn't do it first. The reason I think this is that at the end of episode you can see her look at him once and then look again and that shows us the viewer that she has at least seen him before. We don't know if she knows what he tried to do to her but I'm guessing she may know or at least figure it out in the future.

I think that someone would have noticed Alpha's "man reaction" towards Echo if that is the case. Maybe they need to review more shower footage ( Hey, whatever boosts the ratings to keep this on the air). I think the connection between Echo and Alpha goes deeper than lust. I'm thinking blood is thicker. Do you find this valuable?

think Dominick has a bigger role to play than we may think. There is something very personal about his going after Echo. Here's my wild speculation: Dominick is responsible for Alpha's and Echo's self-awareness. I think he did something to them -maybe a side business within the company/or some experimentation and it all went awry and now he's trying to cover his tracks. He is after all in charge of security so he could potentially get away with a lot. Also, the fact that Echo's previous handler/guardian is dead points that way since that would be probably the one person who would know if he was messing with her missions. I know it's quite speculative but there is something very personal about his hate/fear of her. Do you find this valuable?

I like this theory. I think it's possible. The man is acting very shady and more than a little concerned over a security issue. Yes, preventing a new Alpha is a huge deal, but he was on Echo's case b/f that even presented much. So why have a personal issue w/her? Like Ballard, I think there are deep motivators here.
