Even if someone wants to argue that Echo is a prostitute, I don't see any reason whatsoever to think that she would be imprinted with a prostitute's memories. Why not just someone who enjoys having fun or doing those things? Why imprint her with the memory/personality of someone who gets paid for it?

Why not? What's wrong with that? The client seemed to enjoy it as did Echo's imprinted personality. Win-win.

So far I believe we've seen three assignments. Echo's first was a fun weekend partner for some rich kid's birthday. Fine. You might call that prostitution.

The second was a hostage negotiator. The third was (Sierra as) a commando.

So 2/3 of the assignments we've seen so far were completely non-sexual in nature.

All we know is that they're actives...

Um, as noted earlier, it was clearly established that she was, with that identity actually near sighted and actually had asthma.

It turns out while dancing, her skirt rode up higher than I remembered. I'm a little surprised the Parents Television Council didn't issue a press release, especially given that it aired outside the safe harbor period. Granted, it wasn't anywhere nearly as bad (or if you prefer, good) as the full frontal Survivor slip last year or even the NYPD Blue butts from years past, but the PTC seems to like those displays of moral indignation. . .

I rewatched it and for one frame, I guess you can see what appears to be silver (to match her shoes) boy-short underwear. I suppose they could be spankies that cheerleaders wear but they seem kind of high cut for shorts. I'd be surprised if there were more than a couple of inches of material at the hip.

C'mon now. Wouldn't the time be better spent working as a security guard who monitors women's dressing rooms?

Well sure. If they make a TV show based on that promising premise, I'm there! Heck, that show is probably already running on Italian TV.
