io9.com— Back before Dollhouse first aired, we argued it would be the best thing Joss Whedon had ever done. Now its first season is ending, and we were proved right. Here's why.

I wish they would permanently imprint with with a Faith-esque character and make Amy Acker the star.It's not even the acting that really bothers me, it's the awful "character".
Ok, since my last post I have watched 3 episodes of Dollhouse and here is what I have learned. Don't take any body's word for whats good and whats not. I have enjoyed every episode thus far. The premise is taking straight from Gunslinger Girls, except that in G.G the girls where younger. I find this a trend with Whedon, because I also thought Firefly was very similar to Cowboy Bebop. I also think this way better than Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles. I couldn't get pass the 2nd episode. I am just so surprised at all the negative feedback I have heard about this show. I say thumbs up.
the issue seems to be with "building a case against the dollhouse" which would, of course, be difficult given the moral ambiguity, as voiced by the "fat software engineer." consider how many steps (ie. bureaucratic red-tape) would be involved in organizing an FBI swat team to raid even one dollhouse. apparently, the NSA is on it... but it's not something the FBI even wants to acknowledge, much less devote resources to.
I wonder if people really understood their "roles" when they signed the contract... Knowing so, I bet most of them would have preferred jail time. That's like being born to slavery not knowing that there actually is freedom for you.

@raxemNah, I find Fringe to be X-Files done badly. Not keen on the character backgrounds either. Reality dance show? Blasphemy. I weep for our nation.

DollHouse doesn't suck, but I liked Firefly better.
