I believe that the argument that is being made by this scene in Dollhouse is that perfection is an unattainable thing. This doll was created for one job and one job only and she was technically supposed to be the “perfect” person for it but she still messed up. This proves to me that no matter what kind of science, technology or anything else you can think of cannot make someone perfect. Perfection is not possible. This happened in other episodes as well. The dolls don’t act like they are supposed to; they start being attracted to one another and recognizing each other when they’re not supposed to remember anything at all. The main point that I am trying to make is that even with tanning, makeup, plastic surgery and everything else that is out there that is supposed to make you prettier, and skinnier, and happier nobody will ever be perfect. Even celebrities that have had a ton of plastic surgery procedures done on them aren’t perfect and they sometimes are even worse than they started out as. I think that the perfect person is someone that is happy with who they are and what they look like. It’s more about confidence in yourself and celebrating the things about yourself that you like, rather than always focusing on the negative things and basically wearing yourself down. If more people thought this way and actually liked the way that they look then the problems that we have with the media and body image and everything else would disappear.
