Blog 3: Dollhouse Episode 2

For my second blog I chose to stick with the Dollhouse series so I watched the second episode in the series, which was called “The Target”.  This episode was extremely intense and I found it a lot more entertaining than the first one.  Just like the last episode the show jumped around a lot and I was kind of confused as to what exactly was going on at some points.  The main doll in the show, Echo, was hired to go on a camping trip with a rich man for the perfect weekend getaway.  At first they were really cute and in love but then all of the sudden he lost his mind and started trying to shoot her with a bow and arrow.  The show also showed more about the treatment that the dolls receive and it was really strange.  I have changed my opinion about whether or not what is being done to the dolls is ethical.  I think that it is extremely unethical because now the treatments are not completely erasing Echo’s memory and she’s having flashbacks about her life before she became a doll.  Also, it’s not guaranteed that when the dolls go on their missions that they will survive.  They say in this episode that what they are doing is science and that it is a beautiful thing.  But, I think that what they are doing is awful and there is no way in the world that anything like this could ever happen in real life.  Even though this show stresses me out, I still find it kind of interesting.
