Whedon’s Dollhouse
Ok, so with a name like Dollhouse, you aren’t given the impression that this will be a thriller of a show. Boy, are you mistaken! Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (a personal favorite), Angel, and Firefly does it again with the creation of the Dollhouse. Bringing science fiction and his trademark humor to the table, Whedon enthralls you in mystery and suspense. Not to mention ACTION!
The premise revolves around a corporation that takes the lives of young, beautiful men and women that are in trouble and erases their pasts in exchange for service as a “doll.” Dolls have their memories and minds wiped clean and can then be imprinted with the personality, abilities, and language of whatever fantasy or need that a client wishes to engage in. Can you imagine having everything you’ve ever wanted with the stroke of a pen (to your checkbook)? Dolls don’t come cheap.
Of course, if you have watched a Whedon show in the past you’ll know that it can’t be that easy! Whedon brings back Eliza Dushku, who you may remember as the rebellious, occasionally evil slayer, Faith, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Echo. Echo is a beautiful, popular doll in the Dollhouse. Sent on many engagements ranging from sex kitten to professional theif. Her mind seems to work a bit differently than most of the other dolls and has, on engagements, has had glitches and to her life as Caroline, her seemingly true identity. She is also a bit more outspoken while in her resting state than the other dolls. Echo also seems to wander around a little more, listening in at doors, which begs the question: Is Echo wiped totally clean when she comes back for her “treatments?”
Echo is not the only doll that seems to be broken. Sierra, Dichen Lachman, and Victor, Enver Gjokaj, are also not acting as dolls should act. Sierra seems more detached and weaker in her wiped state than the other dolls. Victor has been seen to have a sexual attraction to Sierra while in his doll state, as well, which is not supposed to be happening. Echo, Sierra, and Victor can also be seen sitting together regularly at lunch. This is also unusual doll behavior.
