My Golden statue of Joss Whedon reaps it's rewards.(Dollhouse overview)

Last night's episode of Dollhouse gave us great stoner dialog, lots of backstory and another reason to hope it doesn't get canceled. So far it's not likely that we'll see an supposed pilot episode yet but you never know.

Friday's dive into the rabbit hole that is Dollhouse is good, but doesn't reach the heights of last week's episode. Topher went from uneffective at the start of the series, to amusing, and adorable and finally somewhat annoying in this episode. The psychological breakdown of our favored cast members is delightful to watch, complete with stunningly inspired LSD-esque dialog. Without giving too much away, seeing Dominic treating his suit like a lost kitten made up for the slightly annoying intro.

Yes, the flashback were a bit hard to swallow and the sense of urgency seemed to be missing but ultimately, there were sufficient threads sown and connected that you cared enough for to see it through to the end.

If it turns out to be true that there are multiple dollhouses everywhere in the world, this one that we're watching has yet to blossom into the tumor that will rob our species of it's meaning. But it's one step closer.
