According to the plot synopsis, the episode title stands for the doll's name. But in the both times I have seen this episode, Polly, the little girl, does not call her doll's name.
Why is the doll in the lake an the end of the episode? Shouldent it have been totally incinerated or out in an evidence locker?
At the time, I figured it used its mystical-weirdo powers to re-manifest itself in the water (isn't it the ocean?). Now I'm not so sure.
I thought that Scully must have just thrown in the lake, which seemed really dumb.
Can the doll transport itself back where it came from yet not give itself a new paint job? Well, as Phil remarked once, evil rarely makes sense.
At the beginning of the ep, when Scully is at the gas station, the price of gas can be seen briefly on the station sign. As I recall, the number is 0.43 - pretty cheap for a gallon of gas in Maine, but about right for a liter of gas in Vancouver BC!
Why couldn't there be two dolls?
It is possible that there is a second Eeevil (TM) doll out there. It seems unlikely that the second Eeevil doll would materialize all burned up.
So if frying the doll or otherwise destroying it ends the 'curse' then why doesent Melissa do this when her daughter is sleeping? It's not like she didn't know the doll was responsible! Also when the doll is making her hit herself with a hammer why doesent someone try to grab it from her?
Why did the doll have the cop kill himself by beating himself to death with his baton? Why not have him simply shoot himself?
A litre of gass if only 43 cents in BC! Wow thats cheap! The cheapest I've seen it here is 47 cents.
They missed a great opportunity for a great line. As Scully takes the doll away from Polly the doll keeps repeating the line "I want to play." As Scully puts the doll into the microwave she could have said "Here play with the this."
Why doesn't the doll have the cop shoot himself? Because that's not as sadistic. Pure evil and all that jazz.
Man, looking back at my message from a little over 11 years ago shows how much times have changed. 47 cents a litre for gas! Now it's more like $1.10!
