Today I watched the third episode of the Dollhouse series. The name of this episode is “Stage Fright.” I did not like the story behind this episode. Echo’s task was to protect a pop star from being killed by a crazy fan. The fan in the pop star end up having a twisted relationship and Echo is forced to improvise. It was in this episode that I realized how unrealistic the concept of the “Dollhouse” is. I don’t understand how the dolls could remain functioning and communicating among themselves with their personalities and memories removed. If her memory was taken away, she shouldn’t be able to remember how to speak, walk, swim, or any other everyday function. Also it is natural for people to have feelings and the dolls don’t seem to have many. They are kind and always in a cheerful mood. They are never angry or they never question the people around them. They are constantly being told what to do and they do exactly what they are told. The science of the episode does not make sense. Also I was surprised to find out Victor is actually a doll. The whole time up until now I assumed that he was a buyer, but it was the other way around. Victor’s purpose is to keep the FBI agent distracted so that he does not locate the “Dollhouse.” Victor gives the agent a misguiding tip that results in him getting shot. This show has so many dimensions and angles; at times it is hard to keep track of all of them.
