Here it is, the finale of the show we all loved before it came out, then figured it would be canceled, then loved, then immediately hated, then hated some more but stuck with it, then loved for this short time in October, then REALLY hated, then received a great Christmas gift from so loved again [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.12 – “The Hollow Men”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
So now we know. Now we find out what’s next. Now we find out how it links to our future vision seen in Epitaph One. But we haven’t seen it! It’s the DVD only episode that was unaired. It’s part of a show that’s been canceled. A show that early on was well and truly [...]

- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
Three years ago. Caroline uses a horny middle management suit to get into an executive office. She handcuffs him and rifles through the files. She finds a file on herself (Caroline Farrell) and one for Bennett noted with “Full Scholarship.” She hits a remote and opens a video cabinet and sees security feeds into the [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.10 – “The Attic”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
A woman’s voice says, “Welcome to The Attic. We’re so glad to have you. Echo, still suspended in the Saran Wrap nutrient bath is being attended to by a technician who puts needles in her head to monitor her brain and a tube down her throat to keep warm fluids running through her body. If [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.9 – “Stop Loss”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
Mrs. Lonely Hearts is back and desires the services of Roger. He cuts her short saying there’s someone else, to which she is incredulous, knowing full well there isn’t and that there must be a game being played against her. Victor’s contract is up and she wanted “one more go ’round.” Topher tells Boyd that [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.8 – “A Love Supreme”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
Guess who’s back? That’s right, season one baddie Alpha makes a return to wreck havoc upon the Dollhouse. Alpha talks to a man who went broke making repeated engagements with Echo. Alpha kills him. Victor has been programmed as a psychologist in charge of asking an isolated and straight-jacketed echo who she is and if [...]
Review: Dollhouse 2.7 – “Meet Jane Doe”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
(Reader’s note: Technically, episodes 7 and 8 aired consecutively, but as they are not one two hour episode, they will be handled individually.) When we left Echo, she was fleeing the Dennis Perrin debacle. Without her GPS chip, the LA Dollhouse can’t track her. Paul Ballard has gone AWOL as well and DeWitt and Langton [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.6 – “The Left Hand”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
Bennett Halverson turns full psycho as Topher Brink shows her his nerd crush. We find out that Bennett is actually not the DC Dollhouse admin, just the techie. The actual house runner is (Howard) Lipman. (I say this in fun parentheses because Adelle calls him Stuart but IMDB calls him Howard. When you’re Ray Wise [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.5 – “The Public Eye”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
The irony is how much the viewing public would be watching this show considering the news that preceded this installment. The last outing of Dollhouse was infuriating. The show was such a hit and miss affair that it didn’t seem possible that it would continue. It didn’t and around the time episode 4 aired, news came [...]

Review: Dollhouse 2.4 – “Belonging”
- by Ben Rollman | Filed under: Dollhouse,Featured,Reviews and Recaps
Maybe Dollhouse needs a bit more of the ol’ Number 1. Jonathan Frakes directed “Belonging” and now I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship with the show. “Belonging” was easily the best episode of Dollhouse yet. Even better than “The Target” or “Briar Rose.” Now, I know a lot of people will say that [...]
