Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE FOX TV series - FANSITE - Watching Dollhouse

I guess you can call this a spoiler, if you haven’t seen any of the Dollhouse promo trailers..
Too much doom and gloom surrounding this show, cast that aside by taking a peek at these fancy ‘new’ Dollhouse photos! Just don’t look too closely at the third one, k?
(click to enlarge)
   
I realise the last photo [...]

This post contains official character information which has been released by Joss Whedon, Fox and official channels at various intervals, however some may deem it spoilery, so continue at your own discretion.

One of the most intriguing Dollhouse characters in the lead up to the show has to be Dr. Claire Saunders, her scars painting a [...]

 Dichen Lachman - “Sierra”

Fran Kranz - “Topher Brink”

Tahmoh Penikett - Agent “Paul Ballard” (formerly Paul Smith formerly Paul Ballard 1.0)

E! Online’s Kristin has taken a look inside the Dollhouse and what she found was a cast all too willing to reveal details about their characters. Needless to say, SPOILERS AHEAD:
Proprietress of the Establishment: Olivia Williams said: “I’m playing a character called Adelle DeWitt, who runs the Dollhouse. If you need a date, you come [...]

(This piece contains slight Dollhouse spoilers in the 3rd paragraph, regarding the length of time the volunteers remain as ‘actives’)
Today I read a most interesting article about the ‘ethics of erasing bad memory’. Dr. Haig tells the real-life story of a young woman called Ellen, who is undergoing a biopsy when she accidentally overhears that she has cancer. [...]

Fran Kranz - Topher Brink. An Unethical Programmer?

Fran Kranz - IMDB | Wikipedia
Snippet:
Genius programmer who’s articulate, nerdily attractive, and blithely amoral. He’s responsible for imprinting the dolls — and making sure they stay unaware of anything. Is fascinated by the science and kind of digging the illegality. Fun to be around, but might not be remotely [...]

Brink: “Hello Echo”
Echo: “Did I fall asleep?”
Brink: “For a little while..“
*Shudder*
One of the most fascinating characters that Dollhouse will introduce, has to be Topher Brink - AKA Mind-wiping Guy. He has been described as a “Genius programmer who’s articulate, nerdily attractive, and blithely amoral”. I find this interesting, because is he really the type of person [...]

“You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.”
-Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
How poignant. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind appears to share several parallels with the Dollhouse premise.
Like the novel Never Let Me Go, this film could well have been a subconscious inspiration for Dollhouse - in particular, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ asks questions about self-awareness [...]

Fox have released more Dollhouse images from the pilot episode. See below and here for the larger images featuring Echo, Eliza Dushku, Topher Brink, Boyd and Joss Whedon.

According to Tohper Brink, the Dollhouse mind-wiping guy, the Dolls are all “volunteers”, which means they made a conscious decision to join the secret government programme.

They must have known when they signed up that part of their ’programming’ would include [...]
