Echo Victor Sierra Episode 1

Episode Recap

First scene we meet Caroline who is talking with Adelle (the Dollhouse Boss) about becoming an active for 5 years to get away from her past.

Engagement One:

A motorcycle race and a dance with “Matt”.

The Treatment:

Gets wiped. Seems to be without care or personality. Not even any Caroline in there. Doesn’t realize she crashed a motorcycle on her leg.

Engagement Two:

Kidnapper Negotiator. The imprint is flawed because the negotiator was once kidnapped by Mr. Sunshine. Mission Fails then Echo’s handler Boyd pushes Adelle to let them do something good – and they go save the girl. Sierra kicks some ass. Communal shower!

Also—FBI Agent Ballard confronts a Russian in the bathroom with a gun whilst he pees. (spoiler alert—the peeing Russian is active VICTOR)

From the Delta Park Prime Forums:

SuperFan Ingersonian
- Likes that the imprints are based on humans, so they could be flawed.

SuperFan Fred
- I was not completely disappointed or thrilled by the first episode. It was a good story, and seems to be a great opportunity for the actors playing “actives” to show their acting chops

SuperFan Blueline
- The most annoying part of her character is that whenever her ‘treatments’ erase her memories, she is trying to pull off a “I have a blank slate and don’t have a clue what’s going on” look. I know that’s what they are shooting for here… but she is pulling it off so well that it is kind of disturbing. What if someone told you “okay on
this next scene, act really stupid”… after the scene, the director tells you “great job, you nailed it, very natural” I am not saying that Dushku is naturally stupid, in fact I love her tough and witty characters that she has played. I just don’t like cringing during the walking blank slate zombie scenes.

ALSO

- It is good. Not great… nothing close to BSG, Lost, Office…. more like Ghost Whisperer good. I like it in the same way that I liked last year’s Bionic Woman. If it wasn’t Whedon, I would unsubscribe to this show… not DVR worthy. But I will cut the show a lot of slack and give it a few more weeks.

SuperFan Mike
- if we the audience are meant to fall
on the side of “this is wrong and we should root for the actives to regain their memories”, which is more than likely if the show’s going to grow, then we’re not likely to have any sympathy for anyone working at the Dollhouse. But we’ll see. There’s only been one episode so I guess it’s a little too soon to judge!
