Another exuberantly fine sunny day, if a little chilly at first. That is to be expected as we tumble towards October. And whilst it may feel slightly autumnal, we are in a late flowering of warmish weather by the late afternoon and may it continue. I will be heading of to Sevenoaks today as i could not face doing it on the Monday. Once i have fulfilled that mission i will be trekking by bus a journey up to Bromley to complete my last field job of this month. I have already been debriefed and will infiltrate the charity shop sometime this afternoon. They will not know i am coming.

Sorry, that military implantation in my head kinda kicked in or was it the fact that i have been imprinted as the actives in Dollhouse without revealing it. Yes, dear reader, i have completed the first season of Dollhouse. Verdict :  creepy, invasive and utterly brilliant, especially if the imprint became viral and the unsuspecting public find themselves , specifially their bodies and identities, taken over by an extremely wealthy plutocracy that want to invade other bodies by extending their own miserable lives (Epitaph One episode).

I knew that Eliza was an incredible actor but here, and as producer, she has excelled herself. I also like the idea of the Panopticon in which the "actives" sleep whilst in a non-engaged situation in which the mind is a tabula rasa before the next imprint. Creepy as hell in fact. A little historical perspective here, as the Panopticon was a type of institutional building designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century.

Although i have had these discs for a few days, i have not got round to watching any of this series - Dollhouse Season 1. I shall start now, as it does have the wonderful Eliza Dushku in it.
