For the latest It Still Stings, annagovert writes on Dollhouse's complicated legacy, and how it was often just good when it could have been great:
and the “what if there was an entire organization dedicated to exploiting women and turning them into killers?” backstory from Black Widow’s Red Room,But that being said, when. Dushku, Lachman, and Gjokaj each shine in their respective roles as the empty shells that are Echo, Sierra, and Victor, as well as whoever they were programmed to be for that episode.
Season 1’s eighth episode, “Needs,” is another all-timer that posits some of the dolls within the Dollhouse willingly chose to have their memories erased to escape some kind of unfathomable pain or suffering; we learn in this episode that November signed her five-year contract in order to forget the loss of her young daughter.
Despite its ups, the series certainly has plenty of downs. Where some episodes feel like sci-fi revelations , others… not so much . For a majority of the series, it feels like the show is always so close to utilizing its concept to its fullest potential, but is never quite firing on all cylinders.
Because it’s a Joss Whedon joint, there was probably always going to be an apocalypse, but just two episodes was just not enough time to fully flesh out what could have been an interesting concept. Instead, Echo and crew save the entire world from the now-mobile influence of the personality-swapping technology in 42 minutes.
