3 AM 9/25 Here since I can't find anywhere else to do it...I want to begin a summary of Season 1 and run some little predictions with Season 2. For starters, The unseen pilot. Interesting Ashley Johnson was the girl needing saving from herself by Echo and also Wendy in Omega. Much of the pilot was footage later used in episodes aired and promos. And some of it was similar parts of the Dollhouse story in later episodes but rearranged. Paul is shot by Echo, etc. If it had aired, the show would have accelerated, moved at a faster speed, because most of the story line of the pilot was spread among a number of episodes all the way to Omega, where Echo murmers "Caroline" while her sleep pod is being closed. So instead of viewing her photo on the floor of Paul's apartment after shooting him, apparently in a manner that was not life threatening as shown in the pilot, in Omega she is experiencing memory. Paul carries much of the mythology of the Dollhouse through his investigation of it. Other characters may carry some, but not like he does. It is he that Alpha sends a photo and video, stolen from yet unknown men he murdered. We know the Dollhouse deals in fantasy, charging wealthy clients for it's services. Through this the Dollhouses fund the Rossum Corporation, who in turn run research facilities. Brain research, very secret and cutting edge tech. At this point Paul is not aware of that. But now he's going to be Echo's handler. Between Echo, Sierra and Victor we know of a bond. Echo seems to have the strongest will enabling some threads remaining between imprints. Intuition. There was to me the dividing point between the episodes we saw and the pilot, reasons why Adelle wanted Echo watched closely. She was not happy Echo took off to the hospital to "finish the job" in the pilot. In the episodes we saw, she seemed fascinated with the way Echo solved problems yet remained on task. We also know at some point the tech gets out. And causes a world-wide catastrophe. Two quotes were very stand out, one by Topher in the pilot, the other by Caroline at the end of Epitaph One. And fascinating neither episode made it to American television. But both dealt with the carelessness of the Rossum Corporation...(I will have to view them again to get it exact). But the quote Topher made, about all of them working in the Dollhouse were just dolls for the Rossum Corporation led me to this: Many of the people working service jobs, that is, tending to the needs of the actives may very well be dolls. If they were to imprint an active with the skills of an Md., Whiskey, and give her skills well beyond a general doctor, why would they stop there? Why not populate the Dollhouses with workers that are dolls? 24/7 services. Since they can imprint anything and have no conscience with doing it, to me it's a very good possibility the only ones not dolls are the main staff, that is, Topher and his lab, the handlers, and Adelle as facility manager and her staff, which includes Boyd. Alpha is of course at large. And apparently has a place in the futuristic version of LA. "Novemeber" makes a return, but why and who will it be? Do former actives have residual effects on their brain? The only two we've seen leave are her and Alpha... Bennett comes on board as a programmer at another Dollhouse. Will the headaches and memory of who they were come into play this season, beginning with Echo? Are Boyd and Whiskey going to get romantically inclined? Whiskey does get more curious of her past as a doll. This we know. And what of Victor. In the pilot Topher thought it creepy "Doctor Saunders" never had the scars repaired. So, Victor can be "repaired."
9/28 3:45 PM Symbolism. Sarcasm. Irony. Tension and emotions. Complacency. These were all part of "Vows'. We had Whiskey/ Claire toying with Topher. To remember to last season in "Omega", Claire's comment to Topher of giving her more computer skills than needed. And she used them to plant a video of the "Bride of Frankenstein" on one of his monitors. It wasn't hard to catch her meaning behind it, Claire being the creation of Topher. The touch of sarcasm using lab rats to scare Topher, or as she called them, "vermin"...Going a long way to find what can get to him and getting a message across, posiibly they all were rats in a Dollhouse maze and Topher was the king rat. In her conversation with Boyd, she expresses fear of why she doesn't want to lose her scars...She might be placed back in the field as an active again. She begins to break down in what is probably as close to honesty as her and Topher can get when they are alone. And her pain isn't lost on him, he is not Adelle. There was the tension and emotions. She is now stuck in a twilight world; hard to accept who she is and her role in life, the overwhelming realization the person she is being as a doll is inhabiting a body that doesn't belong to "her". And she fears that death, and fears finding out who she actually was.
The irony of see Sierra walk her self in for a treatment, fully dressed...distrusting "Orientals". And the conplacency...Her handler was no where around, any more than Echo's handler in totally mismanaging Echo's engagement when she was "made.".
And we see Paul Ballard, who all through last season carried much of the mythology of the DH through his investigation and winds up realizing he was living in a fishbowl created by the Dollhouse, is now a client, "convincing" DeWitt to engage Echo in a long term affair to snare a major arms dealer that slipped through his grasp in the past when he was with the FBI. We find the convincing of course to be threats to expose the Dollhouse. There is now Distrust between Boyd and Paul.. And the one between them? Echo. Adelle and Paul verbally trying to outmatch each other on what his role may turn out to be within the Dollhouse. Her threats were cold. The use of "November", to bring her back into the Dollhouse if Paul doesn't consider her request. There is the time line. We heard three years left on Caroline's contract. It also explained the use of Echo marrying an arms dealer as the show started out with that scene, that it had been set up for a while. Earlier, in speaking witth "Whiskey", Echo tells Whiskey she can't remember anymore than Whiskey's name, having a memory of the two of them on an engagement. But after being knocked around by her husband she has a concussion. Now she remembers everything like shadows of the people she had come to play and represent to the clients of the Dollhouse. It was reaffirmed the nature of the Dollhouse. To supply funding for the Rossum Corporation and use the dolls as Guinea pigs for their research. It was not coersion that convinced Ballard take on the role of Echo's handler. It was Echo herself...
