Spring Break
Enter the Dollhouse
Janie Logan
Issue date: 3/4/09 Section: Entertainment
Echo, however, defies the limitations set on her-indications that she will continue to evolve with every episode. In the first few episodes, she remembers flashes of her engagements with clients, all memory of which has been removed from her mind. She also acts outside of her imprinted assignment, making her a thoroughly unique, and possibly dangerous, Active.
Other characters include Boyd Langdon, a former law enforcement agent who now works as a handler for the Echo. He watches from afar while she is on missions to ensure her safety. Topher is the techie of the operation-the guy who handles the programming and the mind-wiping process. Adelle DeWitt is the person in charge. She's cold, she's British, and she's controlling. Finally, FBI agent Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) is the man in charge of the investigation to find the Dollhouse. He is being led astray by the people within the Dollhouse, yet he has also been aided by a mysterious source who killed Echo's real-life parents and sent Agent Ballard a picture of her.
The main reason to watch Dollhouse is to see what Joss Whedon has up his sleeve. He is a creative genius in the field of television, and he brings out the best in other creative geniuses-people like actors Eliza Dushku and Amy Acker and writer Jane Espenson, who have all been working with him for years and have come along with him to Dollhouse. His stories are complicated, but viewers are always rewarded with payoffs that hit you like a ton of emotional bricks.
Most of the reviews for the show so far have been mediocre, calling it "imperfect but intriguing," or saying that Echo's ever-changing personalities will it make it hard for people to become invested in her story. Just over the course of three episodes, those critics have already been proven wrong. It has great character development. It's intriguing. It's awesome. Watch it.
