I've decided that the refrigerator was a case of being more meta than you mean to be. Especially when it was revealed through a woman who had had repeated mindwipes and reprogrammings who is operating of of the memories of another woman who was once in the refrigerator herself, and eventually killed herself.
That sounds confusing when it was all typed out.
I think the entire thing is even more skeevtastic in practice than it was on paper. OTOH, there's something weirdly compelling about it. As I mentioned in my post, it's like someone took Claymore, Gunslinger Girls and Rose Hip Zero, put them in a blender, and then downloaded the result into Whedon's brain and so we got a live action manga, especially when you consider that it's a case of weird gender politics resulting in an organization that seems to be "fist of the patriarchy" resulting in an excuse for a series that seems to be centered around female agents, for better or for worse. (People have pointed out to me that there are male agents too, but they can do that once we have them running around in barely legal outfits and taking communal showers.)

I also found wiped!Echo to be creepy.
