Dollhouse


Show Summary

A secret facility, the Dollhouse, erases the personalities of Echo and her fellow ''actives'' so they can assume any relevant personas they may be assigned in engagements that cater to the wealthy, powerful and well-connected. After each assignment, the actives are subjected to another personality wipe so they can enter the next scenario with no memory of an earlier one. At least, that's the plan -- but as the series unfolds, Echo's memory begins to return, and she slowly starts piecing together her true identity.

Dollhouse Recaps

  • 'Dollhouse' Keith Carradine joins & the issue of rape emerges

    I have long felt uncomfortable about the sexual nature of most of the engagements actives have been sent on in the "Dollhouse" and not because of the prostitution issue most have labeled it as.

  • 'Dollhouse': Michael Hogan underused

    I suppose that it only makes sense that if the "Dollhouse" caters to the whims of the impossibly wealthy that sometimes it will step outside it's standard lines of operation. Or does it?

  • 'Dollhouse' Alexis Denisof, Miracle Laurie have opposing views of dolls

    Last season, 'Dollhouse' caught a fair amount of fire for the encounters most often being about sex, turning the actives into technologically advanced prostitutes.

  • 'Dollhouse' Premiere: Joss Whedon pitches, the cast hits

    Last season, Ryan theorized that one of the tragic flaws in the 'Dollhouse' finale was that "There's no catharsis without memory". And after Caroline/Omega was wiped, what was left?

  • 'Dollhouse' runs the gamut from Alpha to Omega in the season (series?) finale

    Well, we know one thing now: the writers of "Dollhouse" sure like their "Natural Born Killers," don't they? Actually, we know two things: in a show in which the central character's mind is continually erased, it's damn hard to achieve any sort of epiphany, even in a season/series finale. The jury's still out on exactly which of those tonight's episode actually was, but once again the show's high concept prevented it from truly achieving greatness in what may have been its swan song.

  • Alan Tudyk visits the 'Dollhouse'

    OK, altogether, on the count of three. One...two...three...WASH! If you're a "Firefly" fan, that made sense, and if you're not, dear God, go find a friend who has the DVDs and dig in. But I'm not here to pimp "Firefly," I'm here to praise an outstanding episode of "Dollhouse," which was a little heavy on the allegory but incredibly dense on mythology, narrative advancement, and enough confusing sexual hang-ups to fill a few dozen doctoral dissertations.
