Topics of dinner discussion

[sabotabby]

While making/eating dinner, zingerella and I discussed several perplexing problems. We felt that the internets might be able to help us answer them.

1. Would Dollhouse have been better (or, more to the point, able to grapple with the questions Whedon wanted to ask) if all of the characters except Adele were genderswapped?

2. What would happen if Angel had a calling to the priesthood?

And the most troublesome, and thus important, of all:

3. Can a cyborg perform baptisms or last rites in an emergency?

Help us, internets. You're our only hope.

ETA: zingerella adds, "Okay, but what about a replicant?"

I think it would have been interesting if the characters were genderswapped and knew that they were genderswapped. I mean, you got this Personality R/W device... how long until casual genderswapping became an element of this world?

Tangent - but my favourite TV moments of casual gender-swapping are contained in the Futurama episode "The Prisoner Of Benda" :)
