I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan. Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse. Buffy, Toy Story, Alien, Serenity. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Television, Movies, Comic Books, Internet, Musicals. Avengers!!!! Excuse me, I need a moment to myself. Okay, that’s better. I liked Dollhouse a lot when it started, and I really like it in the middle of the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It is interesting when you think about the expectations of series openers and series closers. Expectations on openers are high from the studios as they want to prove the investment right off the bat and start building an audience, but I think that expectations from viewers are generally low. Even if you have high hopes […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just as I expected….things are more complicated than they seem. And more well written than I could hope for. Given the challenge with getting to know the actives (as I raised concern with last episode) this episode focuses in on getting to know the other characters. We learn mainly about Echo’s handler, but see glimpses […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“This one’s for the kids!!” – Nobody Kind of a weird engagement but fun to see the two actives playing off of each other. Best moment is definitely the Victor reveal. Who’s playing who? Who’s in control? Oh Ballard, what are you in for?
I realize that Barak Obama is a busy guy, and we all appreciate the work he has done saving the world by gathering up all the nuclear weapons and throwing them into the sun, but there is another big issue in America that needs his attention. The television studios have opened up a hole in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It is unnecessary, annoying and reflects the things I did not like about this episode. A heist episode with a twist (with Dollhouse there is always a twist), but all of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Fun episode with a lot of twists and turns. Sending Echo in all tech’d up and blind is a great premise, but in classic Whedonverse fashion that is blown out of the water part way through the episode. The Agent Ballard storyline continues to build as the best part of the show. The scene where […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Another episode with a lot of ups and downs, pros and cons. Ballard busts in on Echo’s assignment and ends up conversing with the client very frankly about the Dollhouse. Nice way to turn Ballard’s beliefs into reality without giving him any proof so that he has the support of the FBI. I found the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, lets just get this out of the way.
The dolls are escaping!! I was happy to see the conceit that the escape was being encouraged and allowed because, really, that drama could not have been strung out with so many holes to poke in it. That being said, it was still too easy for the dolls to get out given that only a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
