I will give it another try. I watched the first three and loathed them, for mainly the reasons you mentioned above. (Plus, they're not giving Olivia Williams enough to do, and she's brilliant) Okay, you’ve talked me into it…I’d forgotten how sloppy Season 1 of Buffy was. I will give it another try.

And then I kept reading stuff suggesting it really, really did get better, especially with the sixth episode, so a few weeks ago I downloaded everything that I missed. And wow, talk about a slow burner. You're right, the way the Dollhouse itself has developed is so much more complex and interesting than the boring adventures-of-the-week (although I do like the opportunities those adventures give for showing the traces of personality left in the dolls). There's so much they can do with the premise now, especially the suggestions that this technology is a way of a small minority of superrich people or corporations to control other people. And I really like the way the people who work for hte Dollhouse (especially Topher) are increasingly forced to confront the morality of what they're doing. After the first episode, I kind of thought "where can they go from here?"; now I really hope it gets a new series.

Yes it's an ok, watchable show, but it doesn't make me need to watch it every week. My problem is Dushku. She was great as Faith, but in everything else I've seen her in has been wooden and more than a little annoying. Plus, Echo, by design, is a non-person. She has no personality at all. How am I supposed to care about her? Added to that what little we've seen of her past as Caroline, and you've got nothing to make me root for her in the slightest. The other Dolls are coming across better, but I'm still not that interested. As for those working in the Dollhouse...meh. Boyd is an interesting character. I cannot stand Topher at all. He bugs the hell out of me. I can't tell you any of the others' names, but I find Helo very watchable still. I won't be sad if it is cancelled. I think Whedon can, and should, do better. Hopefully next time he'll leave Dushku at home. I haven’t seen the latest two episodes, and really, I’m not in any hurry.
