The elephant in the Dollhouse is Alpha. Alpha was an active that remembered too much. He (because we’ve heard him referenced as a he several times) broke through the programming and evaded the treatments. He escaped and has since been the bane of Adelle DeWitt and her house. Every show since “The Target” has talked [...]
Our recap hints at a few of Echo’s previous engagements, including her first saying he’ll never forget her and ending with Laurence hitting her in the face with a rifle butt in “True Believer.” This leads into the meeting between Caroline and Adelle DeWitt, the meeting we believe started it all. Caroline is a troubled [...]
I’d been hearing all week about how Joss himself said that if you’d stuck it out through the first five episodes, that this would be the payoff. He wasn’t fooling around. I’m stuck in this self induced cycle of figuring out if the “Man on the Street” was actually that good or if the first [...]
“True Believer” might have me being a believer in this show. The Dollhouse has a major client in a US Senator. He needs help getting inside a Yearning for Zion like religious cult compound. He enlists the help of Miss DeWitt and her organization to insert a sleeper agent into the community; and agent with [...]
Joss Whedon is pinning a lot of his hopes on the Alpha story line to get Dollhouse through its first season. But that’s ok. As much as we TV viewers have come to expect greatness out of our programming in the last five years, we have to remember that even the best shows started rocky. [...]
“Special isn’t always a good thing…sometimes the best thing to hope for is ‘good enough.’” The last line spoken by Dr. Saunders encapsulates Dollhouse over all, “Stage Fright” is no exception. There are moments when the larger story emerges and flashes of intrigue pull us in as the episode unfolds and yet it’s disappointing that [...]
Joss Whedon has a knack for flipping your expectations on their head. Whether he’s killing off well loved characters or taking seemingly normal scenes and completely reversing direction. “Target” took the opportunity to immediately set up a villain. During the first episode it was understood that FBI Agent Paul Ballard was going to be the [...]
Well folks, here it is. The long and ill awaited Joss Whedon product that most fans have given a deathclock like countdown until its demise. The pilot episode was rewritten, parts were re-shot, it was given a Friday time slot and its cast has some of the hardest names to pronounce. In the end, will [...]
