Eliza Dushku Previews Dollhouse
TV Guide have a Q&A with Eliza Dushku (Echo) in their latest edition (click image, left, to enlarge). Here are some choice quotes (contains mild spoilers):
Describe the “dollhouse”
We (20 or so “dolls”) eat, sleep, work-out in this beautiful Zen-garden-like dollhouse. But it has no windows and is underground somewhere.. People say it’s an urban legend, but [...]
10 Things I Learned About Dollhouse
The other day I posted videos of Access Hollywood’s interview with Dollhouse producers Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku during their set visit, however I didn’t leave my opinion because I was pushed for time (I blame real life, too much alcohol and “Fringe”). As regular readers will know, I like to leave my opinion on almost [...]
Will The Actives Retain Residual Imprints?
The above promotional photo illustrates that Echo’s mind-wiping chair comes equipped with hand, neck and head ‘pads’, which light up an ice blue color during the mind-wiping process (inset).
I thought she got her mind wiped, not a manicure and massage? In all seriousness though, these pads are probably part of the muscle memory erasing process.
Which raises [...]

At the heart of the premise is memory, or rather, mind-wiping. Such a vulgar term, but it is what it is. Anyways, [...]
Active Imagination #3 - Supersoldier
With the ability to programme the actives with muscle memory that allows them to operate beyond normal human capabilities, we could well see a government agency or even a company or individual hire out an active (or group of actives) for specific combat assignments or high stake missions. Who knows, our actives might even be [...]
THEORY: Operant Conditioning in Dollhouse?
One of the more surreal clips from the Dollhouse trailer shows Echo and her pals slipping into coffin-like chambers, where they go to fall asleep. But who in their right mind sleeps in a coffin? It would appear that coffins are not only reserved for the dead in Dollhouse, as with twisted logic the zombie-like “actives” [...]

Which Lipstick Looks Best on Eliza Dushku?
Because these are the important questions being asked by bellasugar.com.
Wait! There’s a Dollhouse tie-in somewhere! You see, I would imagine that Dushku’s “Echo”will be portrayed with many different ‘traits’ depending upon which persona she’s been programmed to have for a particular assignment. Lipstick, in this instance, is just an example of how the “Actives”, and ‘Echo’ [...]
