Joss Whedon's Dollhouse

[Kabukiman]

Why have I not heard your reviews yet?!?!

Not a whole lot to say. I thought it was solid - but I'm glad the first 5 eps are out of the way now so that we can get to the meat of the story.

All I know now is that I want the ^^^^^^^ watcher guy to die a horrible death. What a ^^^^. His obsession with Echo makes me think he's working with Alpha somehow. I mean, who is such an ^^^^^^^ that they will get on a plane and fly across the country just to ^^^^ somebody over?

I agree chapter no spoilers. I was almost tempted but thought, "what was all these episodes for if Im just gonna ruin it for myself?" I can't wait!!! Its gonna be great. i love this show and I think it is finally in a place where it can truely be enjoyed.

Another solid episode in my book. Eliza was great in this one. I can't wait for ep 6, teaser looks wild.

It was a much better episode. More of that banter we're all wanting. At least I think we're all wanting it. I could have done without the Echo at the compound thing but of course, that was the plot. So couldn't do without it. The end with Echo was cool though. I liked that. When she could finally 'see' again. I can't wait for today's episode. I'm really hoping that it blows us away like we are all hoping and expecting.

Anyone else want ballard dead yet?

Anyone else want ballard dead yet?

Is that the ^^^^^^^ watcher guy? Then yes, in the worst possible way.

Let's hope the show hits a stride tonight! I'm looking forward to it.

No, he's not that Lawrence guy or whatever his name is. He's the cop.

No, I think Ballard is what's keeping the show together for me so far. I like him a lot.

Well, this is Joss's first episode, so maybe this will be the boost the show needs.

But with the way rating already are, there might not be enough people watching to keep the show going.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Well, what can I say about this week's episode other than....it was....perfect.

It was everything I wanted to see and then some. I told you Joss was back.

There were so many twists tonight that I can't even name them all without writing page, after page, after page......after page.

I just want to thank Joss and Eliza (who is the producer of Dollhouse by the way) for a show like none other.

 

[BuffyGirl]

It was awesome!!!!!!!!!! It was the best episode yet. I can't wait for next weeks. I'm ready for some comedy.

So, I totally knew that girl was a doll. But then I was like, crap, I was wrong? But then I wasn't! YAY. That was awesome.

Who do you think tweaked Echo's program thingy? Cause someone is on the 'inside' doing these things. Which is awesome.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I decided to come back and give it another shot this week since it was supposed to be the big "Joss takes over show" and I do think it was better than it has been, but I'm still not feeling it. I guess I'm just not invested enough in the characters. It did have more of the Buffy/Angel feel about it though. I half expected Angel or Wes to come walking around the corner in Wolfram and Har... er, I mean the Dollhouse.

Melly was great - but she was so much better written in this episode than previously. I'm sure everyone was sure she was an active and then they make you think she's not and then I was pissed when I thought they were going to kill her off. Anyone think that MAYBE she's the real Rebecca? Sort of out there, but they threw in that "kinda cute" about Patton Oswald.

So who's the mole? My bet is on Olivia - there was a little too much going on in that "do you want it to be finished?" Meaning either the painting, the plan to take down the Dollhouse or the liaison with Ratty - depending on what she's thinking at the time.

I thought it was the best episode yet. Melly being a Doll was a great twist, and caught me off guard completely. Instead of being so focused on echo it really tied all the characters in together and how they fit into the show. I feel like I have a better understanding of the show and its direction. I'm really excited to see that the show as more of an direction than just poffering out the dolls for peoples use. Their is a secret agenda in the dollhouse we must discover. very cool! And nexts week preview looked even better.

I was wondering tho if this time Adelle would be too easy of a pick?

That's an interesting idea... But if the car accident was seven years ago (am I right on that?) then that's put her pretty young I'd think.

I think the mole is the doctor. Alpha cut her without killing her and she allowed herself to be cut to cover the fact that she's trying to undo everything that's happening.

Rating held steady this week. That's a good sign considering it was up against basketball and the BSG finale.

That comment made me think a little too. I think the most logical explanation though is the composite idea. The billionair has been reinacting the house thing for 7 years. Which means Echo wasnt the first to be Rebecca. So it could be that the "kinda cute" comment was based on residuals from an imprint when Melly was used as Rebecca.

As for the mole, I don't know who it is at this point. The obvious choice would be the intern chick that Tophor uses as a go-for. He keeps telling her she's not smart enough to do all this stuff and hes the genious and blah blah blah. So it would be very fitting that she be a hell of a lot better then Topher realize and able to modify the parameters of the engagement. That being said, I think someone else would be pulling the strings, i.e. Olivia. Olivia seems to have a definate "soft spot" for Echo.

I love the idea that the Dollhouse we know is one of many. And that the illegal "public" face is only the business aspect of the organization and not the reason for it.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I wrote a TON, but I wrote it in the whedonville section. So, if you care, go there. If not, boooo!

Loved this weeks episode!

Damn, I knew that creepy girl was a Doll. She was just to weird anyways for me. Bad daddy issue vibes or something like that.

Awesome to see there is someone other than Alpha working against the Dollhouse!! Wonder who the insider is? Cause it took them about 5 seconds to do the program add to Echo's Active program for when she went to kill Ballard. I'm guessing either Claire or Topher's little assistant Ivy.

Well, now I am excited to see what the Dollhouse is really about!!

Can't wait to see more, the show now has my full attention!

 

[Kabukiman]

Finally got to watch the new episode and *loved* it!

I didn't read anything into the "kinda cute" comment, but now that you mention it, that could be pretty interesting if she were Rebecca.

Regarding the whole mole thing, I have no idea. My wife thinks it's Adelle, but I don't know. If I had to make a guess right now, I'd say it's Topher's assistant, but that seems too obvious.

As for the whole ep 6 being a true Joss episode, that was in the back of my head the whole time. The story was the best yet, the dialog was witty, and it was all very Joss. However, I wonder if I would've felt the same had I not been told prior to seeing the episode that it was a Joss "unleashed" episode...

 

[BuffyGirl]

I don't think Mellie is Rebbecca, but it's an interesting thought still. I mean, that would be an added twist. But then we'd have to see more of that guy. I don't want to. lol.

I don't think Claire is the mole. Although she does look rather suspicious, and as I said before, if Adelle is the mole, I will be angry. I want her to be bad, all the way to the bone.
