Dollhouse<\/p><\/div>\n

– Hello Echo, how are you feeling?
\n– Did I fall asleep?
\n– For a little while.<\/p>\n

Routine conversation when Echo, an \u2018active\u2019 in the Dollhouse (IMDb<\/a>, Wikpedia<\/a>), just got her memory wiped out. In her Dollhouse state, Echo and the other \u2018actives\u2019 are like \u2018dolls\u2019, vulnerable, helpless and without any idea what the real word is. But sooner or later someone with lots of money rents a \u2018doll\u2019. Then the \u2018doll\u2019 is imprinted with the character and skills the client wants, a killer, a lover, a thief, a anti-blackmail-expert, a caring mother or even a karate-master. The \u2018dolls\u2019 are programmable people. They do whatever they programmed for and have no real will. But, something isn\u2019t quite right, some \u2018dolls\u2019 seam to build some kind of self awareness.
\nFrom the outside, Paul Ballard investigates the disappearance of Caroline. He picks up that there exist a Dollhouse. But the more he investigates, the more he finds himself in trouble. His boss fires him, but Paul doesn\u2019t stop. He\u2019s obsessed to find the truth.<\/p>\n

Joss Whedons (Buffy, Firefly<\/a>) new TV-show is a solid sci-fi drama\/thriller. A slowly progressing background story and different operations for the \u2018dolls\u2019\u00a0 in each episodes give the show some variety. The quality of the episodes varies from some average episode to hilarious and thrilling ones.
\nWell, Dollhouse doesn\u2019t do anything obviously wrong. But I\u2019m still not really convinced. I think it\u2019s partly because there aren\u2019t any likeable characters in it. The \u2018dolls\u2019 are reset for each episodes, the other characters don\u2019t have much screen time or are cold as stone. It\u2019s not that the actors are bad, they just play roles of people I don\u2019t want to meet in real life.<\/p>\n

The first season is nearly finished. Fox won\u2019t air the last episode, it will be released only on DVD. Well, maybe another Fox series which will be cancelled.<\/p>\n
