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

 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’ [...]

(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. [...]

As a big ‘LOST’ fan, I find that one of the most useful narrative devices that JJ Abrams (now Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof) excellent show has in it’s arsenal is the ‘flashback‘ (and ‘flash forward’) device, which allows the viewer an insight into the characters past/future.
Don’t worry non-Lost fans, I am going somewhere with this.
I just wonder whether [...]

“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 [...]

The youcantdownloadit blog have a script review of the Dollhouse Pilot, it’s quite interesting but very spoilery, so please do not read this snippet if you’re at all anti-spoiler:
Without ruining too much, I’ll talk briefly about one of the key scenes in the pilot. Echo has been given the persona of a girl who is searching for [...]

IGN have released more snippets from a recent interview with Dollhouse creator Joss Whedon. He talks about his confidence in Dollhouse airing mid-season, Eliza Dushku, Amy Acker, Tahmoh Penikett, the projected lifespan of Dollhouse and other interesting DH reveals.

SNIPPET:
does this intrigue you? Is watching Eliza Dushku’s Echo have a different persona implanted on her each week, while searching for the truths of who she really is and how she got stuck in “the Dollhouse,” something you’re up for? - EW.com

Scifi.com have an article in which Joss Whedon reveals that the show is not another “Alias“, and will have it’s own identity, even if part of that identity is asking ‘who am I?’:
“That’s really what the show is about. It’s about plumbing the depths of our identity.”
“It’s sort of taking the role of a Frankenstein [...]

In the recent trailers we see head honcho of the Dollhouse facility, Adelle DeWitt, make the direct comparison between “robots” and an “active”. Whilst many of us would consider ‘programmed dolls’ to be closer to robots than ‘humans’, she tells it straight: “An active is the truest soul among us”.
So what does this mean exactly? Are [...]
