I've caught up on Dollhouse and so far I'm not qite sure that to make of it. The thing is, I enjoy watching it. I don't just it enjoy it for Tahmoh, but I do like watching it. There are certain things that intruige me, like what makes Echo special, what happened with Alpha and with the first Sierra. Who's actually the brains behind the organisation. How does it all work. Who and how do they send the clues to the FBI and who wants Echo dead.
Here's what I'm not so cool on. Did Caroline actually know what she signed up for? Or is she being continually victimized without her knowing. It doesn't really shed a good light on the company either way and is a form of rape of you ask me.
The second thing is this. Considering that Echo gets wiped all the time, she isn't really anyone. Who am I supposed to feel for or emphasize with if she's not? I hope she finds a bit of Caroline in herself at some point or that she adapts more traits from other personalities so she isn't just shell.
My thrid gripe is this and I'm not sure most of you agree, but I don't think Eliza, as an actress is up to this task. I didn't see a lot of difference in most of the characters, except the job decribtion and what she's wearing. As a singer, she sings, as a negoitator, I just didn't buy it and mostly she just looks hot, but with a few nuances she is always the same. To me, different characters, different people are not unique because of the skill but because of their language, of the way they talk and walk and hold themselves and well, I'm not sure if it's bad acting or bad writing but I just don't see it.
