The Dollhouse is an insightful update of ‘The Prisoner‘ and it’s ‘Village’. As such, Dollhouse might be made even more entertaining by having homages to The Prisoner. Perhaps Echo could be seen driving a Lotus Super Seven in the same green-and-yellow livery as the original. Also, maybe an episode could actually be filmed at the Portmeirion Village. Or perhaps either Topher Brink or Adelle DeWitt could have a small scale replica of a penny-farthing in their office. Of course, DeWitt herself, might look ‘smashing’ in a piped jacket in the style that Number 6 wore.

I'd like to see this added to the list. A lot of similarities in theme; technophobia/singularity, a future that may be populated by human puppets being controlled by machines. It would be worth a little dissection.

I love the insight on this.
Well CEO of the Dollhouse didn't have the ball guardian which bounced around and apprended those who attempted escape.But Dewitt would be smashing or how about Dame Judi Dench playing in that role too or the ceo of Dollhouse. Anyway one thing the VIllage had is a lack of penetration from the outisde unlike Dollhouse whose sophisitcated security could easily penetrated. Something No2 and the village creator would frown on. No matter I could see Echo driving a Ferrari Testrosa coming out of the garage. But Dollhouse if one looks close enough is as alligorical as the Prisoner was in the late '60s. |

It's awesome. I picked up all the trades this year and read them in a week. Would make a great mini-series for HBO or something. I usually don't think of comics that way, but it would really lend itself well to film IMO, as would The Walking Dead!
