There are problems with Dollhouse. This episode had a pretty dull main plot and a slightly more interesting overall arc, which has got to be wrong, surely each individual episode has to be good? At one point I thought it was Star Trek and Echo was Kirk.
There are just too many things that nag at me:
- How am I supposed to get to know a main character who is completely different every episode (or empty). How can we get to like Echo? I’d rather she was just a super ninja.
- Dollhouse seems on one hand exceedingly ambitious for an “escort agency” and at the same time immensely un-ambitious for the technology. Surely there are better uses for the imprint technology? Like super-ninjas perhaps.
- How come Dollhouse have the tech? (And not the army?)
- How come they are a massive operation and have one geeky scientist to control the computers?
- How come they are in a skyscraper in the middle of a downtown city?
Hopefully these episodes are slow setup, but overall it’s lacking anything to make me love it. Which is rather disappointing.
