Blog 4: Dollhouse Episode 3


Today I watched “Stage Fright”, the third episode in the Dollhouse series.  In this episode, Echo was hired by a pop star’s manager to protect his client because a crazy fan was attempting to murder her. Throughout this episode Echo acts as a backup singer for Rayne during her performances.  At the beginning, Echo and Rayne get along extremely well and are best friends.  All of this changes completely when Echo realizes that Rayne is actually communicating with the stalker fan and together they have a plan that will ultimately end in him shooting and killing her during her concert.  I think that this shows that even people that have it all:  money, looks, talent, fame, etc. still aren’t always happy.  It’s true that money doesn’t buy happiness.  You may be the richest person in the world but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t love what you’re doing and you’re miserable. Rayne says in the episode that she just wants to be free again and that she thinks that being dead is the only way that’s possible.  Echo tries to tell her that this isn’t what she really wants and she can stop being a singer but Rayne insists that this is what she wants, she wants to be dead.  However, when Rayne is actually faced with death and has a gun pointed at her all of this changes.  She realizes that her life isn’t horrible and she doesn’t want to die. I believe that sometimes people think that their lives are so bad, when in fact they aren’t.  People should just be happy that they’re alive.

  1. I agree. I think that people are ungrateful for things that they have and should appreciate their lives!!
