Echo is a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals whose personalities have been wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the Dollhouse, the "Actives" are hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected to wholly become—with mind, personality and physiology—whomever the client wants or needs them to be. They know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time—or do they?

เจาะลึก Dollhouse: เนื้อเรื่อง การสร้าง และเสียงวิจารณ์

Dollhouse is an American science fiction television series created by writer and director Joss Whedon. Produced by Mutant Enemy Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television, the show premiered on February 13, 2009, on the Fox network, and was canceled on November 11, 2009. The final episode aired on January 29, 2010. Production wrapped in December 2009, with a total of 27 episodes produced including the original pilot.

The show revolves around a corporation running numerous underground establishments (known as "Dollhouses") around the globe that program individuals referred to as Actives (or Dolls) with temporary personalities and skills. Wealthy clients hire Actives from Dollhouses at great expense for various purposes, including heists, sexual encounters, assassinations, expert counsel, and all manner of unique experiences. The series primarily follows the Active known as Echo, played by Eliza Dushku, on her journey toward self-awareness. Dushku also served as series producer.

Dollhouse received mixed reviews and underwhelming ratings. The series was renewed for a second season but cancelled before production of that season was complete.

Plot

The story follows Echo (Eliza Dushku), a "doll" or "Active" for the Los Angeles "Dollhouse", one of several facilities, called "Houses", run by a company which hires out human beings to wealthy clients. These "engagements" range from romantic interludes to high-risk criminal enterprises. Each Active has their original memories wiped and exists in a childlike blank state until programmed via the insertion of new memories and personalities for each mission. Actives such as Echo are ostensibly volunteers who have surrendered their minds and bodies to the organization for five-year stints, during which their original personalities are saved on hard drives, in exchange for vast amounts of money and solutions to any other problematic circumstances in their lives.E-1 Echo is unique, however, in that she remembers small amounts even after personality "wipes", and gradually develops an increasingly cognizant self-awareness and personality that's resistant to erasure. This concept allows the series to examine the notions of identity and personhood.E-12

Within The House, opinions on such matters are divided. Dollhouse director Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams) sees her role as merely giving people what they need; programmer Topher Brink (Fran Kranz) is initially entirely scientific and amoral, apart from brief flashes of moral quandary; while Echo's mentor in The House or "handler", Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix), an ex-cop with an unknown past, expresses concern with the ethical and theological implications of the Dollhouse's technology, using his inside role as an opportunity to limit any collateral damage. Raising intriguing questions about personality and selfhood are other dolls Victor (Enver Gjokaj) and Sierra (Dichen Lachman), who despite being continually re-wiped, begin to fall in love and retain those feelings whether wiped or imprinted with other personalities.E-8

Meanwhile, FBI agent Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) learns of Echo's original personality, Caroline Farrell, through messages, photographs, and videos he receives anonymously. Agent Ballard becomes obsessed with rumors of the Dollhouse and risks his career trying to prove its existence. It is insinuated that Ballard has developed feelings for Echo prior even to meeting her, which leads him to continue his investigation even after being taken off the case. Meanwhile, Ballard has been casually dating his neighbor, Mellie (Miracle Laurie). While discussing the investigation over takeout, Mellie corrects Ballard when he refers to bringing "her" in, to say "them" in instead. Ballard tries to explain his slip away, but Mellie does not look completely convinced. Mellie's character up to this point on the show is portrayed as a somewhat insecure neighbor with a crush on Ballard. At the end of this episode it is revealed that Mellie is a "sleeper" doll. She has been planted by the Dollhouse to spy on Ballard. Mellie is unaware of her role in the Dollhouse and believes herself to be a young woman falling in love with an FBI agent. She is in fact a Doll known as November.E-6

Ballard finally chases down a lead allowing him to "meet" Caroline/Echo. During the encounter, Echo is terrified of Ballard because she believes she is the personality she has been programmed with. Echo is whisked away by her handler, leaving Ballard with only Joel Mynor (Patton Oswalt), the man who paid for the encounter, to question. Mynor points out the apparent connection that Ballard feels for Echo and cites it as the reason that Ballard is so driven to investigate the Dollhouse.E-6

As Echo continues to evolve and learns to work beyond the limits of each temporary personality imprint or default "tabula rasa" programming, she runs the risk of being sent to "the Attic", a permanent resting place for "broken" dolls and Dollhouse employees who cause problems. She is an object of fascination for the escaped doll, Alpha (Alan Tudyk), a genius and serial killer who has been driven mad by being implanted with the memories of dozens of people, becoming a gestalt-personality. Alpha, the season 1 "Big Bad", returns at the end of the first season to kidnap Caroline.E-11, E-12

"Epitaph One", the final episode of season one, which was not aired as part of the show's original run on US television, depicts a post-apocalyptic future where the mind-wiping technology of the Dollhouse has developed to the extent that vast numbers of people can be remotely wiped and have new personalities implanted, which has brought about the end of civilization. Many of the series' main characters' futures are shown.E-13 As the second season begins, the show's focus shifts to depict the dangers of abusing the mind-wiping technology. Each character in the L.A. Dollhouse is forced to confront their own moral complicity in an increasingly downward spiral from moral grey areas to the realization that what the Dollhouse is doing is ultimately immoral and extremely dangerous. The Dollhouse's corporate sponsor is a medical research entity known as the Rossum Corporation, whose ultimate goal is revealed to be gaining control over national governments and even innocent people with no association with the Dollhouse. Through these abilities, the leaders of Rossum can rule the world and also be immortal, jumping from body to body at will. Attempting to stop the further spread of the mind-wiping technology, the L.A. Dollhouse vows to take down Rossum and its mysterious founder, whom only Echo's original personality, Caroline, has met.E-25 They also learn that there is no person named "Rossum"—the company founder took the name from the play R.U.R., which is short for "Rossum's Universal Robots". This 1921 science fiction play by Karel Čapek is the origin of the word "robot".

The final episode of the series is set in the year 2020, and takes place shortly after the events that took place in "Epitaph One". Despite its best efforts, the L.A. Dollhouse has been unsuccessful in stopping the mind-wiping technology from spreading out of control. Rossum executives use multiple bodies to live in decadence while the peoples of the world are enslaved. A now mentally unstable Topher, architect of much of the technology, devises a way of restoring everyone's original personalities and eliminating Rossum's power, but at great sacrifice to himself and others. The series concludes with the world's personalities restored, while the Earth still lies in ruins, and those with Active architecture sheltering inside the Dollhouse for one year in order to keep the memories they have acquired since their original personalities were restored some years ago, rather than being wiped and defaulting back to their memories from before the Dollhouse got hold of them.E-26

Production

The series stars Eliza Dushku, who worked with Whedon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain were the showrunners, while Jane Espenson, Tim Minear and Steven S. DeKnight served as consulting producers. In addition to Joss Whedon, the writing staff included Tim Minear, Jed Whedon (Joss' brother), Maurissa Tancharoen (Jed's wife), Andrew Chambliss, Tracy Bellomo, Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain. Whedon directed a number of his own episodes, as he has done for many of the shows he created. Tim Minear and Buffy producer David Solomon also directed. Fox used a viral marketing campaign to promote Dollhouse in May 2008.

Dollhouse was produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Whedon's Mutant Enemy Productions, and Dushku's Boston Diva Productions, and was granted an initial thirteen-episode production commitment by Fox, with a reported license fee in the range of $1.5 to 2 million per episode. Fox decided to forego the usual practice of ordering a pilot episode of the series, opting to instead put funds towards the construction of the elaborate set and cultural context of the television series. The set was described as a "life-size Dollhouse". On July 22, 2008, Joss Whedon announced that the first episode shot, "Echo", would be pushed to be the second, saying that this "idea to do a new first episode wasn't the network's. It was mine". Despite several reshoots, "Echo" was later pulled from the run entirely; the staff of the show has since noted, during a panel on the series at the Paley Festival, a television festival held at the Paley Center for Media in New York City, that portions of the episode were used in subsequent episodes throughout the series' first season.

Dollhouse, as well as J. J. Abrams' Fringe, aired during its first season with half the commercials and promo spots of most current network dramas, adding about 6 minutes to the shows' run times, as part of a new Fox initiative called "Remote-Free TV". Fox charged a premium price for this advertising space, but did not completely recoup the money that they spent. Fox later canceled Remote-Free TV.

Originally, Whedon announced he was planning to shoot a separate webisode for every Dollhouse episode produced. The webisodes did not materialize, however. There was originally a five-year plan for the show, with Whedon plotting how its characters would evolve through that point.

Casting

Anya Colloff and Amy McIntyre Britt, who previously worked with Joss Whedon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Serenity, were the show's casting directors.

On March 26, 2008, it was announced that Tahmoh Penikett, Dichen Lachman, Fran Kranz, and Enver Gjokaj had been cast in four principal roles for the show. On April 3, 2008, it was announced that Olivia Williams would be playing the role of Adelle DeWitt. Two weeks later, it was announced that Harry Lennix had also joined the cast. On the same day, Joss Whedon announced on whedonesque.com that Miracle Laurie and Amy Acker were to complete the cast.

Brennan Elliott and Michael Muhney auditioned for the part of Paul Ballard but lost out to Penikett. Ian Anthony Dale and Paul Campbell auditioned for Victor, but Gjokaj got the part.

Whedon said that the early drafts of the show featured Actives with different body shapes and ages but the network decided the Actives should all be young and fit.

Unaired "Epitaph One"

On April 9, 2009, Whedon rebutted speculation that Fox was set to cancel the show. Producer Tim Minear explained that the "missing" 13th episode (titled "Epitaph One") would be on the DVD release of the season. The reason Minear gave for that episode being dropped from the broadcast run was that the Fox network was counting the original first episode ("Echo"), which went unaired, as part of the original 13-episode order; in contrast, the Fox production company was required by contract to have a minimum of 13 completed episodes for international and DVD releases. According to both Minear and Whedon, the producers felt that the original first episode, having been subsequently scrapped entirely and having had its footage reused for other episodes throughout the season, should not be counted as a completed episode as part of their own 13-episode orders for international and DVD distribution but rather as a DVD extra, and thus Whedon produced a new 13th episode on a lower budget to fulfill the contractual requirements for the international broadcasts. The episode was screened at Comic-Con on July 24, 2009.

"Epitaph One" had its world premiere in Singapore on June 17, 2009, through Season Pass, an on-demand service offered by SingTel mio TV. In the United Kingdom, the episode aired on the UK Sci Fi Channel on August 11, 2009.

Second season and cancellation

Despite low ratings in its first season, Dollhouse was renewed for a second season of thirteen episodes. Among other factors, fan response to the show was seen as a reason for the renewal; Fox's president of entertainment stated that "if we'd canceled Joss's show I'd probably have 110 million e-mails this morning from the fans". As part of the deal, there was a cut in the show's budget, though Whedon stated that this would not affect the quality of the episodes. The second season also had changes visually; the show moved from being shot on 35 mm film to high-definition video. With the addition of new cinematographer Lisa Wiegand, Whedon wanted the show to look darker. Other visual changes included more hand-held camera work and the addition of snap zooms (an effect that moves in or pulls back very quickly, which was used extensively in Firefly). The series continued in its 9–10 pm Friday timeslot, with the season premiere on September 25, 2009. Season 2 of Dollhouse began filming on July 22, 2009, so Fox pushed back Dollhouse's return to the 25th to afford Whedon and the Dollhouse production team sufficient time to produce enough hours to kick off the season with at least three or four consecutive episodes.

Alexis Denisof joined the cast in a recurring role as Senator Daniel Perrin, as did Summer Glau, who was originally scheduled to appear in just two episodes, a number that was later extended. Michael Hogan and Jamie Bamber, both former castmates of series regular Tahmoh Penikett on Battlestar Galactica, each had roles as guest stars. Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters (creators of Reaper) joined the writing staff for season 2 as replacements for former showrunners Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (who left Dollhouse to join the writing staff of Lie to Me).

Fox announced in October 2009 that it would not be airing any episodes of Dollhouse during November sweeps, and that the series would return in December, airing episodes back-to-back instead. On November 11, 2009, The Hollywood Reporter announced that the show had been cancelled. Fox passed on ordering more episodes of the show; although it did air the entirety of the 13-episode order. After airing the back-to-back episodes in December, the final three episodes aired during January 2010.

Cast and characters

The principal characters of Dollhouse are either Actives (or Dolls) or Dollhouse employees. The Actives at the LA Dollhouse are named after letters in the NATO phonetic alphabet; other Dollhouses are shown to use different naming systems.

In the Dollhouse universe, personalities, often constructed by the scientist Topher Brink, are uploaded into Actives, who are kept in a "blank" state prior to upload. This means that different Dolls may be uploaded with the same personality at different times, a situation occasionally exploited for plot purposes. When not in use, each personality (along with its associated memories) is stored in a memory device called a "wedge".

Main cast

Eliza Dushku as Echo / Caroline Farrell. Echo is an Active and the protagonist of the series. The most popular Active in the Dollhouse, she shows skills that transcend the parameters of her programming during the course of her engagements. Before her mind was wiped, she was Caroline Farrell,E-7 a college graduate and political activist who accidentally uncovers the Rossum Corporation's illegal activities. Her boyfriend is killed during their attempt to infiltrate a Rossum laboratory, and Rossum attempts to have her recruited to the LA Dollhouse.E-7 While on the run from Rossum, Caroline becomes a terrorist intent on bringing the corporation down, but she is finally captured.E-24 Throughout the series, Echo becomes increasingly self-aware while in her blank state, and at the beginning of season 2 she vows to discover and restore her original self.E-14 On achieving full self-awareness, Echo develops a romantic interest in Paul Ballard. Having learned more about her possibly murky past as Caroline, she decides to be her own person.E-20 While condemned to the Attic, she discovers Rossum's weakness, and emerges to ally with DeWitt and others at the LA Dollhouse against Rossum.E-23 While uncertain what having become her own person will mean for her, she agrees to be reunited with Caroline's personality to gain crucial information about Rossum.E-24

Harry Lennix as Boyd Langton, a former cop and the Dollhouse handler assigned to Echo. He has doubts about the Dollhouse's ethics, but largely keeps quiet about them. Later in the season 1, he becomes head of security.E-9 His morally compromised past is not initially revealed, but he demonstrates considerable skills, and contacts, for example in disposing of dead bodies.E-17 When Echo returns to the Dollhouse after a three-month absence, he allies himself with Paul and Topher in keeping Echo's self-awareness secret from the Rossum execs.E-21 Echo, after regaining Caroline's memories, discovers that Boyd was one of the two founders of the Rossum Corporation, and seemingly had installed himself in the Dollhouse to become her handler.E-24 After attacking Echo, his mind is wiped after Topher finishes a remote wiping device. As a Doll, he is fitted with explosives and given a grenade, and commanded to blow up the Rossum building; he does so, killing himself in the process.E-25

Fran Kranz as Topher Brink, the scientist who operates Dollhouse's technology and uses it to imprint new personalities on the Actives. Cynical, ego-driven and seemingly amoral, his knowledge of human behavior allows him to specially craft the personality of each Active as required for their various missions. In season 2, he faces several moral dilemmas: the first comes when Rossum requires him to revive a serial killer.E-16 When ordered to permanently surrender the Active Sierra to her real-life rapist, Nolan Kinnard, he instead restores Sierra's original personality, Priya, who then kills Kinnard in self-defense. Topher and Boyd help Priya cover up the murder, and Priya agrees to return to the Dollhouse as Sierra.E-17 When the LA Dollhouse comes under the control of Matthew Harding, Topher becomes concerned about Rossum's ambitions with the Dollhouse technology. He informs Dewitt that he has figured out Rossum's plan and perfected a technique to imprint any human being remotely, but she betrays him and surrenders it to her superiors.E-20 Subsequently, when he learns of Echo's full self-awareness, Topher aligns with Boyd and Paul's "conspiracy".E-21 He develops strong romantic feelings for Bennett, whose genius and technological achievements he had admired long before meeting her in person. Bennett appears to reciprocate his feelings, but is killed before a more serious relationship can develop. As the Dollhouse unravels and events spiral out of control, Topher develops an immense guilty conscience, blaming himself (as the technology's inventor) what unfolds. Ultimately, he creates technology to reverse the process that has wiped the minds of the general population, but sacrifices his own life in order to deploy it.

Tahmoh Penikett as Paul Ballard, an FBI special agent assigned to the Dollhouse case. Most in the Bureau view the case as a joke, but he becomes obsessed with discovering and rescuing Caroline/Echo. The Dollhouse assigns Active November to spy on him by becoming his girlfriend, Mellie. After breaking into the Dollhouse, he agrees to work for them on condition that November be released,E-12 and later becomes Echo's handler. He and Echo vow to set the Actives free.E-14 When Echo is left out on the streets, Paul finds her and helps conceal her from the Dollhouse for three months, during which time she becomes fully self-aware. Despite her becoming romantically and sexually attracted to him, he abstains from sex with her. The two re-enter the Dollhouse to continue their crusade.E-20 They later form an alliance with Boyd and Topher, but Paul is wiped and left braindead by Alpha.E-21 Topher partially restores Paul by converting him into an Active, removing one brain function and imprinting him with the scan Alpha took.E-23 In doing so, however, he finds it necessary to erase Paul's feelings of love toward Echo.E-24 In the final episode, set ten years in the future, Paul is killed in combat, and his memories and personality are imprinted into Echo.E-26

Enver Gjokaj as Victor / Anthony Ceccoli. Victor is initially introduced as Lubov, Paul Ballard's informant inside the Russian mob, before being revealed to be a Doll.E-3 He is also regularly hired out by Adelle DeWitt to be her lover, whom she truly appears to love. Even in his mind-wiped state, Victor is inexplicably attracted to Sierra, despite attempts to wipe his memories and feelings for her.E-9 Before entering the Dollhouse, Victor had been Anthony Ceccoli, a War in Afghanistan veteran with posttraumatic stress disorder (of which he is cured by the Dollhouse). He is restored to this personality in "Stop-Loss",E-22 and aligns with Priya, Echo, and the LA Dollhouse senior staff against Rossum.E-23 In the series finale, ten years in the future, Anthony and Priya share a tense relationship due to his reliance on imprinting technology—which Priya considers a dangerous obsession. Priya eventually realizes he compromised himself only to protect her and their child, and they reconcile.E-26

Dichen Lachman as Sierra / Priya Tsetsang. Introduced as the newest Active in the Dollhouse, her initial mind wipe occurs in episode 1 of the first season. She is instinctively drawn to Echo, but lacks her growing self-awareness. Prior to her mind being wiped, she had been a painter named Priya Tsetsang.E-17 Unlike the other Actives, Sierra was committed to the Dollhouse against her will by a powerful man, Nolan Kinnard, after rejecting his advances. Kinnard hires her out periodically for sexual encounters.E-8 During Season 1, she is raped by her handler in her blank state, adding to her trauma.E-6 When she is sent permanently to her original rapist and captor, Topher imprints her with her original personality, Priya, and she ends up killing Kinnard. Boyd and Topher dispose of the body and Priya agrees to return to the Dollhouse to be with Anthony/Victor, whom she loves.E-17 Priya is later awakened to help retrieve Victor when he is captured and enslaved by Rossum,E-22 and the two unite with Echo and the senior staff of the LA Dollhouse against Rossum.E-23 Ten years after the events of the series, Priya is shown to have a child with Anthony. She raises the child alone, mistrusting Anthony's obsession with imprinting technology. Near the series end, Priya recognizes his unwavering devotion to her, and reunites the family.E-26

Olivia Williams as Adelle DeWitt, the highest-ranking official at the Los Angeles Dollhouse. She claims to believe that the Dollhouse's aims are truly benevolent; however, during Season 2 her attitude becomes increasingly cynical, and she eventually joins the conspiracy against Rossum.E-23 Despite being the head of the LA Dollhouse (which is just one of more than twenty worldwide)E-6 DeWitt answers to a number of superiors at the Rossum Corporation. It is revealed that she has been hiring out Victor as her lover, while concealing this activity from others in the Dollhouse by inventing a client named "Miss Lonelyhearts".E-9
