Checked out your episode analysis. Agree with the final question - how much did the memory wipe affect or change the AI gang's decision to join W&H? Would they have joined anyway, but for different reasons? Is it a question that has occurred to the producers/writers? Will it be addressed?
Having spent a week with a Hollywood Producer...I'm not so sure it will be addressed. TV is a weird story telling medium.
Thinking back over Home and what occurred prior to the memory wipe? I think they would have joined W&H and for the same reasons. What I'm curious about is the degree in which the memory wipe affected their decision and how culpable Angel is for doing that? Is Angel the master manipulator here? And if so - how much of a metanarration is that on a Hollywood Producer (aka Joss Whedon) who manipulates what his writers, actors, editors, directors, crew create to appear differently upon the screen - as they exhausted from creating it - forget most of what they've done and don't notice the subtlety of the changes?
