Dollhouse – Season 2 Synopsis

For all of the Dollhouse fans out there that can’t wait for the second season to start here is a little something to hold you over, or make you froth at the mouth. Whatever suits you.

Here is the official synopsis for the second season of Dollhouse:

CAROLINE (Dushku) – code name “Echo” – is an “Active,” a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don’t just perform their hired roles, they wholly become – with mind, personality and physiology – whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time.

Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the “Dollhouse,” Echo and the other Actives, including SIERRA (Dichen Lachman) and VICTOR (Enver Gjokaj), are assigned engagements by ADELLE DEWITT (Olivia Williams), one of the Dollhouse’s leaders. After each scenario, Echo, always under the watchful eye of her handler, turned head-of security, BOYD LANGTON (Harry Lennix), returns to the mysterious Dollhouse where her thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge are erased by TOPHER BRINK (Fran Kranz), the Dollhouse’s genius programmer. Echo enters the next scenario with no memory of before – or does she ? – as she seemingly begins to remember her original memories and slowly pieces together her mysterious past.

Former FBI Agent PAUL BALLARD (Tahmoh Penikett) determined to solve the mystery of the DOLLHOUSE and find the missing Caroline, accomplished his goal in the first season finale and was convinced (or was it coerced?) to become Echo’s new handler. DOLLHOUSE revolves around Echo’s blossoming self-awareness and her desire to discover her true identity. But with each new engagement, comes a new memory and increased danger inside and outside the Dollhouse.

DOLLHOUSE is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Joss Whedon, who directed the pilot and serves as executive producer and head writer. Liz Craft, Sarah Fain and David Solomon are co-executive producers, and Eliza Dushku serves as a producer.

Fox Schedules Full Run Of “Dollhouse” – First Season

Good news, “Dollhouse” fans!

So, keep watching and maybe we’ll get that second season….

Joss Whedon speaks about Dollhouse and has a message for haters.

Joss Whedon, creator of Fox’s upcoming sci-fi drama Dollhouse, has a message for the haters out there: Give the show a frakkin’ chance!

Responding to my questions for the first time about the swirl of buzz surrounding the much-anticipated show, Whedon said in an exclusive interview on Tuesday, Dec. 6, that the show’s found its groove, that he’s very happy with the way it’s going and that he’s confident viewers will like it.

But with characteristic candor, Whedon also admits that the negative buzz—based in part on reports of reshoots, a scrapped pilot, production halts and a Friday night “death slot”—weighs on him and that he also struggled to find the show’s voice during a lengthy development process.

“You do [think about it],” Whedon said in Los Angeles during a Fox press day. “I mean, you notice things. The fact is, it’s not a seamless birthing process. But … it seldom is. For me, never. And the only difference is now everybody in the world knows everything about everything. But that doesn’t really change what’s going on. And it’s been hard, and I’ve had despair, and I’ve had joy and excitement, and, … ultimately, it has nothing to do with whether or not you will respond to the TV show.” And he has more to say.

Video – New ‘Dollhouse’ Clip

Entertainment Weekly has a new video clip from the February 13th premiere of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.

In the clip, we see “the first time we see Echo (Eliza Dushku) wake up after having her memories wiped in the special memory-flushing chair” which “leads into a discussion between lab tech Topher (Fran Kranz) and Echo’s handler Boyd (Harry Lennix) about her last “date,” delving into just what being a doll/active means.”

I’m still not excited for this show, as much as I would like to be. What do you guys think? Read more

New Trailer For Joss Whedon’s ‘Dollhouse’ Is Here

Fox has released a new trailer for Joss Whedon’s upcoming SF series Dollhouse, starring Eliza Dushku.

The series–which has undergone an overhaul, including the scrapping of its original pilot–

Dushku (Buffy’s Faith) plays Echo, an “Active,” or member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas.

Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time.

Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the “Dollhouse,” Echo and the other Actives–including Sierra (Dichen Lachman) and Victor (Enver Gjokaj)–are assigned engagements by Adelle (Olivia Williams), one of the Dollhouse leaders. After each scenario, Echo, always under the watchful eye of her handler Boyd (Harry Lennix), returns to the mysterious Dollhouse where her thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge are erased by Topher (Fran Kranz), the Dollhouse’s genius programmer. But is Echo acquiring a memory of her own? Dollhouse is slated to air in January. Read more
