erastesI have to say, that Dollhouse is definitely growing on me. I quite liked it--despite many of my flist not doing so, but it's becoming more intruingin sweek on week. Last week for example there was a very interesting shaking of the head between Echo and Sierra, which made me wonder. Why did she do that? It was as if Sierra was going to say something and Echo warned her off, but in her Echo state she shouldn't be aware of anything like that. Did anyone else notice this? Is there a forum where this sort of stuff is discussed?
The Dollhouse itself becomes more creepy, and it's very clear that what they are doing is hugely wrong. This week they layered the interest for me, as Echo was wiped in mid-assignment, and her active persona was given to Sierra to finish off. People have moaned about the focus on hot female bodies, but hello? How many of us were leering over naked in Spike in Buffy? Me, for one. There's surprising little nakedness in this, actually - when you see shower scenes, they are nipple height for me, head height for women. the shower scenes are, I admit entirely gratuitous but they have men in them, so who cares.
All in all, yes, I'm really enjoying it. Yes, it's about victims--but it's not about female victims, all the Dolls are victims/slaves and that's pretty horrible. Echo, as she gradually becomes a little more self-aware each week, is turning into a great character. I admit, three weeks ago, being dismissive of Eliza's talent, but either I'm now getting it, or she's growing in strength and confidence because she did damned well this week (and last, in Stage Fright.)
