      Most of the world is destroyed and they iced Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) for no good reason but shock.

      And the good guys pull off a very Pyrrhic victory. Closing the Dollhouse before they figured out how to make scenario: techno-nightmare happen would have made the series shorter. But, I’m pretty sick of the “we can’t put the tech genie back in the bottle” defense. Under this ideal, every tech needs to grow to Godzilla size or fade into obsolescence.
