7. Dollhouse (6)


My final episode of Dollhouse that I watched was “Man on the Street.” This episode was much different from all of the other episodes I have watched this far. There was a news broadcast going on throughout the entire episode and also there was also a lot of focus based on the FBI agent. In this episode many things go wrong technologically. First the dolls have real feelings for each other. Victor and Sierra continue their relationship and everyone begins to notice. Next, the FBI agent notices Echo on TV and realizes that she is the girl on the photos that he has been searching for. This forces the corporation to place a doll as a neighbor to the agent. This doll is there to keep an eye on him. During an encounter, this new doll changes personas when she hears a certain message on the answering machine. I’m not sure how a doll can be programmed to change imprints by a phone recording when usually it takes electronic impulses. Lastly the owners of the dollhouse decide they need to try to control the dolls in a more efficient way. They realize that the dolls are getting out of control and that something must be done. All of these glitches in technology show that they are not actually possible. There would have to be some sort of impulse sent to the brain and I don’t thing that is possible by just saying certain words to a doll. I’m going to continue watching episodes to see if I can find answers to some of my questions.
