The episode of Dollhouse that I watched today was called “Man on the Street”. This episode was very good and a lot of weird things happened during it. There was a news broadcast going on throughout the episode where numerous civilians were asked their opinions on the dollhouse and whether they even thought that it existed. There were a lot of mixed opinions, some people thought that it was cool and they would hire a doll if they could. Or, if they were asked to be a doll they would say yes in a second. Others, however, were extremely freaked out about the idea and thought that the idea of a dollhouse was repulsive. This made me think a lot about whether or not I thought that the dollhouse was an okay thing. In this episode an extremely rich man paid to have Echo come and act as his wife for a day. At first, I though that it was gross and creepy but then once the story was told about why he did this it completely changed my mind. Every year on the same day he buys a doll and tells them to meet him at a certain address. He does this because he bought this house for his wife as a surprise and when he told her to come see it she got into a car accident on the way there and died. I think that scenarios like this are acceptable for purchasing a doll. But, I think that when the only goal is to have sex with the doll, kill someone, or steal something; it’s not right. I’m interested to see how if in the future episodes they change the way the dollhouse is run.
