For this blog, I watched the second episode of the Dollhouse series. This episode started to explain the problems that the business has had and some of the history of Boyd Langton, the person in charge of watching over Echo. The show goes on to explain how one of the dolls, Alpha, rebelled against the facility and ended up killing all of the other dolls except for Echo. This also explains why Langton was hired. Alpha killed the man who was originally looking over Echo and he also injured the doctor.
This episode examines the idea of betrayal. In the show, a man paid to have Echo programmed to be his date for the day. Everything seems to be going well as they spend the day kayaking and rock climbing. But, the day gets more intense when this man tells Echo she has a five minute head start before he would come after her and try to kill her. This catches Echo off guard and she runs away in an attempt to save her life. Before this incident, everything seemed to be going fine and they both seemed to be having a good time. This man did not care for Echo at all, and was even more concerned about his money than her life. Earlier in the show when Echo pretended to fall when rock climbing, he was not concerned about her life, but was worried about having to pay for her. This man was psychotic and should have never been able to hire Echo in the first place. It is also interesting how Echo seems to be remembering some of her memories. She is not like the other dolls and it will be interesting to see how this affects the show.
