[SPOILERS] The final episode before an enforced hiatus, after which the rest of season 2 will be "burned off" in double-bills during December (before the axe surely drops), "Belonging" was a strong episode that again provided ammunition for my belief Dollhouse should have been built around Dichen Lachman... In season 1's "Needs" we were teased about how Sierra (Lachman)...

[SPOILERS] Quite a peculiar episode this week, but it found an interesting wrinkle within the show's elastic concept. We open with an acutely unnerving scene where man-child Terry Karrens ( Joe Sikora ) is playing with his own "dolls" (a posed tableau of an all-female family, using real women he's captured and immobilized with drugs.) When his "Aunt Sheila" ( Danielle Langlois )...

Episode Title: "Belonging" Written By: Maurissa Tanchareon & Jed Whedon The Story: The lens is tightened upon Sierra (Dichen Lachman) as viewers learn about her tragic past.

I've expressed frustration with FOX's Dollhouse in the past; the series seemed always out of touch with its own potential, focusing on engagements of the week or fitting up Eliza Dushku in outrageous ensembles rather than delving into the heart of darkness within the Dollhouse itself. With the notable exception of the unaired post-apocalyptic bookend "Epitaph One," the series hasn't come...

In her review of the second season premiere of “Dollhouse,” Maia wrote “the scene that owned this episode was Fran Kranz and Amy Acker in a room,” but didn’t end up saying that much about the scene. (Which is fine, what Maia wrote about the rest of the episode was great). PetPluto, in contrast, spent about [...]

Dollhouse returned last night with a Whedon-written-&-directed episode called "Vows" which delved deeper into the moral ambiguities surrounding the Dollhouse (through Whiskey/Saunders' storyline) and set up the ongoing threads for season 2 (a senator-led witch-hunt against the Dollhouse, Paul & Echo's alliance, Whiskey's self-discovery). I don't know what new viewers thought (or if...

When you're a TV critic covering local and national TV and facing expectations from readers, viewers, editors and yourself, you can't watch everything. In some respects, that's probably a good thing. Regular TV viewers don't watch TV with the same completist mentality I would bring to it if not for the demands on my time. So when I watched Fox's Joss Whedon drama "Dollhouse" last season,...

After the third season, a serial can be considered fixed and the production has a reasonable certainty about its programmation until the seventh edition at least...many until the tenth release. All the characters are already well-defined, the locations fixed thus becoming less easy and more expensive to think about a product placement. For example, hope to make Carrie change her shoes at the fourth
