Dollhouse returns. Woohoo.

For I have learned to love it. Well, I pretty much fell head-over-heels half-way through the first season, at exactly the moment Joss said it would get good. Really, TV stations, learn to trust the man. Sure, Dollhouse isn’t up there with Buffy yet, or Firefly (which probably hit the ground faster than any other of Whedon’s series’, if you watch it in the right order).  I wouldn’t be surprised if I never watch Season 1, episodes 1-5 again though.  The new start really does jump right in.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve not seen ‘Epitaph One’ (though you should, because it’s great) – which is as it should be, since it didn’t air on TV, and just shoots off about three months from where ‘Omega’ ended.   As pretty much the whole Dollhouse-related section of the internet has already declared, the Topher/Saunders stuff is the best storyline, although I am also intrigued by the Boyd/Ballard dynamic, since they are both clearly more concerned about Echo than they are about anyone else – and I suspect Boyd sees a lot of himself in Ballard and in what Ballard is doing.  He *is* ex-cop, after all. Ex-Cop/Ex-Fed, getting involved in morally shady underground stuff, for what reasons?  Somone asked Boyd ‘why?’ in Season One – and that’s not gotten answered yet.  Read more...
