Since I have watched almost the full first season of “Dollhouse”, my episode analysis will base on this TV series for sure. Although there is a new character with special personality in almost every episode, I will still focus on the company.
However, what I concentrate is not the heroine Echo, but the operation of this enterprise. In every episode, there always the scene those actives lay on the magic chair, undergoing the suffering brainwashing again and again. I don’t like the way the company use its employees. Sometimes, the company just treats those workers as machines which can help them earn considerable profits by finish clients’ various impractical request. I’ll use two specific scenes which in episode 2, 4 and 9 to show how the dollhouse treats the dolls and dolls’ hurt both mentally and physically. In the second episode, Echo was dispatched to take an adventure with a man who was insane. Echo was being chased and almost being killed, I don’t appreciate the style of the company since it still let actives execute tasks though the director knew there will be huge risks. In episode 4, when Echo failed to finish the mission and was almost being arrested by the police, the Dollhouse decide to kill her instead of being captured without any hesitation because they thought the reputation of the company is more important than employees’ life. And in episode 9, we saw how painful the treatment is when Dominic was enforced to experience it.
As a result, the argument of my episode analysis will be companies should still concern about the right of their employees instead of treat them roughly. And then I will connect the argument with reality since there are also many workers face the unfair treatment in companies.
That is really a nice topic to focus on. I have chosen the same episode of you which is the ninth episode, but we view it in different sides.
