5. Dollhouse (4)

This morning I woke up and watched the fourth episode of the series Dollhouse. I find myself actually enjoying the show and watching these episodes is feeling less like homework. Yesterday I met with a few friends for dinner and ended up talking about the show the whole time. The fourth episode is called “Gray Hour”. At the beginning of the episode Echo is a midwife for a rich family in the mountains. I sometimes wonder why these wealthy families don’t hire normal people as in a doctor to do their tasks instead of hiring a doll. In this episode you learn more information about the character Alpha. Not only is he some murderous doll who can slice someone up skillfully in 8 seconds, he has more skills too. He is good with technology, computers and also about the whole memory game.  Another aspect of this episode that doesn’t quite make sense is how Echo’s memory is wiped clean during one of her tasks. In the show the explanation was that it happened due to a mysterious squealing noise. Apparently Alpha can clear her imprinted memory over a phone conversation? I did enjoy how Sierra used the same imprint that Echo used in order to help her escape during the robbery. When Echo is spending time at the Dollhouse, she begins to spend a lot of her time with Sierra and Victor. Topher begins to get nervous because they could possibly be retaining some of their memories and information from all of their tasks.
