Dollhouse has been canceled, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the show. This season has had great episodes, and while I probably wouldn't have cared much if the show had been canceled last season, I am now disappointed after seeing what Dollhouse can really be.
I know there's no point in looking back, but I wonder if the series would still be alive if Perrin was introduced earlier, even in season 1. These past two episodes focusing on him have been excellent, and worked better than the engagement of the weeks.
Perrin's investigation was in bareling ahead as he called out Rossum during a press conference, talking about the Dollhouse. Madeline is going to spill the beans on everything, but Rossum of course won't let that happen. Ballard, being the hero he is, won't let them kill her. Let the games begin... I loved the twist that Perrin was the active and not his wife, since it was kind of obvious who was who.
I wasn't a fan of Echo as a escort, because it seemed like a ploy to have more Eliza Dushku in the episode, but in the end, it transitioned well into the next episode.
Joss said he didn't want to make Summer Glau into a doll, because she's already done robot stuff, so it was interesting that he decided to make her a bit like River with the rambling. I'll be talking about her more in the review for the next episode.
Score: 9.1/10
