Was thinking about it yesterday and I thought that the Dollhouse is sorta the exact opposite of the army's system. The army takes individuals and gives them codenames to make them unidentifiable over radio chatter (Yes, I am making this up as I go along), while in Dollhouse actives are given individual characteristics for engagements.
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I'm tired and sleepy and I have to go out later. ^^
Anyway, Josh Whedon is a genius! I mean okay, so the entire thing was kinda boring in the beginning and it picked up in the middle and came to an explosive conclusion at the end. It was interesting how it turned out. And it is just painfully obvious that had he been given the time and faith, the show could've turned into something special. It already had a few whiffs of that with the blockbuster action episode "Epitaph" and a few in the mid season 2 episodes and also with "Epitaph 2: The Return".
The thing I was thinking was that the ending showed hope and redemption. Hope for those who had their lives taken away. Redemption for everyone who did things that were morally inaccurate. The clean slate thing was a nice touch. If only we all can have a second chance at this messy complicated thing we all call life. (As my lecturer says week in week out: "Life is complicated!")
And I don't get to see Eliza Dushku! Or Dietar Lahman (I have no idea how to spell her name... I go check...) sorry, Dichen Lachman anymore! Boo hoo!
It's too bad the show got cut off before it could become great. But I guess that's the problem. People don't like to wait for things to become great. They want it to be superb coming out of the gate. And how many things can do that?
