These "engagements" range from romantic interludes to high-risk criminal enterprises. Each Active has their original memories wiped and exists in a child-like blank state until programmed via the insertion of new memories and personalities for each mission. Actives such as Echo are ostensibly volunteers who have surrendered their minds and bodies to the organization for five-year stints, during which their original personalities are saved on hard drives, in exchange for vast amounts of money and a solution to any other problematic circumstances in their lives.

The
Dollhouse cast consists mainly of Actives (or Dolls) and Dollhouse employees.
[51] The Actives at the LA Dollhouse are named after the
NATO phonetic alphabet (other Dollhouses are shown to use other naming systems).
Main cast
- Echo (Eliza Dushku) is an Active and the main character of the series. She is the most popular Active in the Dollhouse, and has shown skills that transcend the limitations of her parameters during the course of her engagements. Prior to having her mind wiped, Echo was a college student and political activist named Caroline Farrell.E-7 Caroline is originally a student activist who accidentally uncovers the Rossum Corporation's illegal activities; her boyfriend is killed in an escape attempt, and Rossum attempts to have her recruited to Adelle DeWitt's Dollhouse.E-7 While on the run from Rossum, Caroline becomes a terrorist devoted to bringing the corporation down, until she is finally captured.E-24 Throughout the series, Echo becomes increasingly self-aware while in her blank state, and later even vows to discover and restore her original self.E-14 On achieving full self-awareness, Echo develops a romantic interest in Paul Ballard. Having learned more about Caroline's potentially murky past, she decides to be her own person.E-20 While condemned to the Attic, she discovers Rossum's weakness and emerges to ally with DeWitt and the LA Dollhouse against Rossum.E-23 While she is uncertain what having become her own person will mean for her, she agrees to be reunited with Caroline's personality to gain crucial information over Rossum.E-24

He has doubts about the Dollhouse's ethics, but largely keeps quiet about them. Later in the season, he's promoted to head of security.E-9 His own "morally compromised" past is unrevealed, but it is known he has considerable skills and contacts in disposing of dead bodies.E-17 When Echo returns to the Dollhouse after a three-month absence, he allies himself with Paul and Topher in keeping her self-awareness a secret from the Rossum execs.E-21 When Echo regains Caroline's memories, she discovers that Boyd is one of the two founders of the Rossum Corporation and seemingly installed himself in the Dollhouse to become Echo's handler.E-24 After attacking Echo, Langton's mind is wiped after Topher finishes a remote wiping device. In a doll state, Langton is given a grenade and is commanded to blow up the Rossum building, which he does, killing himself in the process.E-25
- Topher Brink (Fran Kranz) is the scientist who operates Dollhouse's technology and uses it to imprint new personalities on the Actives. Cynical, ego-driven and seemingly amoral, Topher's knowledge of human behavior allows him to specially craft the various personalities of the Actives for their various missions. .^ Rumors said Dollhouse wasn't going to make it through its first season, "Epitaph One" was going to air on Fox, it wasn't going to get a second season...

E-16 When required to permanently surrender the Active Sierra to her rapist, Nolan Kennard, he returns her as Priya, who then kills Kinnard. Topher and Boyd help Priya cover up the murder, and Priya agrees to return to the Dollhouse as Sierra.E-17 When the LA Dollhouse comes under the control of Matthew Harding, Topher becomes concerned about Rossum's ambitions concerning the Dollhouse technology. He informs Adelle that he has figured out Rossum's plan as well as the technique to imprint any human being remotely, but she betrays him and surrenders it to her superiors.E-20 Following this, Topher aligns with Boyd and Ballard's "conspiracy" when he learns of Echo's full self-awareness.E-21 Topher develops strong romantic feelings for Bennett Halverson, whose genius technological achievements he admired long before he met her in person. .^ I hope they develop more of the Clark & Lois a little bit.- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. 1 February 2010 1:48 UTC www.aintitcool.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
As the Dollhouse unravels and things spiral out of control, he develops an immense guilty conscience, blaming himself (as inventor of the technology) for the events that unfold. Ultimately he creates technology to reverse the process that has wiped the minds of the general population, but sacrifices his own life in order to deploy it.
- Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) is an FBI special agent assigned to the Dollhouse case at the onset of the series; most in the Bureau view the case as a joke, but he makes discovering and rescuing Caroline/Echo an obsession. The Dollhouse assigns active November to spy on him by becoming his girlfriend, Mellie. After breaking into the Dollhouse, he works for them under the condition that November is released,E-12 and later takes the role of Echo's handler. The two of them vow to set the Actives free.E-14 When Echo is left out on the streets, Paul finds her and helps conceal her from the Dollhouse for three months while she develops a full self-awareness. She becomes romantically and sexually attracted to him, but he abstains from sex with her. The two re-enter the Dollhouse to continue their crusade.E-20 .^ Though it left open to interpretation, I got the impression the whirlwind(s) were supposed to be a form of life as they seemingly acted in an intelligent manner independent of Scott's presence/hallucinations.

- Victor (Enver Gjokaj) is an Active who was originally introduced as Lubov, Paul Ballard's informant inside the Russian mob, before being revealed to be a Doll.E-3 The character is also regularly hired out by Adelle DeWitt herself to be her lover, whom she truly appears to love. In his mind-wiped state, Victor is inexplicably attracted to Sierra despite numerous attempts to wipe away his memories of and feelings for her. E-9 Before entering the Dollhouse, Victor was a War in Afghanistan veteran named Anthony Ceccoli suffering posttraumatic stress disorder (of which he is cured by the Dollhouse). He is restored to this personality in "Stop-Loss",E-22 and aligns with Priya, Echo, and the senior staff of the LA Dollhouse against Rossum. E-23 In the series finale set ten years in the future, Anthony and Priya share a tense relationship due to his reliance on imprinting technology which Priya considers a dangerous obsession. .^ It's really a great compromise IF only everything was on it.

.^ Hell, more people watched the third Supernatural episode on a tiny network, than the season premiere of a pedigree WHEDON! show on the mighty FOX.

.^ Dollhouse had a pretty bad first season, but not as bad as those.- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. 1 February 2010 1:48 UTC www.aintitcool.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

^ I agree with you about Lucas and Yamato I do, but Whedon does the same thing in regards to characters like Wonder Woman and other strong female characters.- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. 1 February 2010 1:48 UTC www.aintitcool.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
That Dushku mostly pulls this off is a happy surprise, as is
Dollhouse, which has survived
Firefly-like trials of its own to get this far."
[61] Salon.com reviewer Heather Havrilesky was also positive, commenting that the show's combination of mystery, sly dialogue, and steady flow of action results in a "provocative, bubbly new drama that looks as promising as anything to hit the small screen over the course of the past year."
[62]
Alternately, Tom Shales of the
Washington Post admitted the premise was intriguing, but described the series as a "pretentious and risible jumble" and that Echo did not "inspire much concern or interest in the audience." He commented that the actors seemed to struggle due to the decor being so "outlandish," stating that it "simply isn't worth the trouble."
[63] Brian Lowry of
Variety also wrote "
Dushku's grasp of this vague, personality-changing character is a bit of a muddle. What's left, then, is a series with a hollow center that doesn't initially make you care about its mentally malleable protagonist."
[64] Robert Bianco of
USA Today had a more nonchalant view of the series, describing
Dollhouse as not boring or ordinary, and that the end result is a show "that
Joss Whedon's most devoted fans will debate and embrace, and a mass audience just won't get."
[65]
.^ Many series I love have unwatchable first seasons.- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. 1 February 2010 1:48 UTC www.aintitcool.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
IGN reviewer Eric Goldman believes that show became much stronger and more compelling with the episodes "Needs" and "A Spy in the House of Love". He opines of the later episodes that, "As a whole this show is definitely working better as we get away from Echo's missions of the week, and from focusing so much on just Echo and letting there be more of a true ensemble feel, with the time split amongst the Dolls."
[66] Sarah Hughes of
The Independent was unimpressed with the first five episodes but also found that the later episodes became "as involving and addictive as Whedon's best work".
[67] Maureen Ryan of the
Chicago Tribune liked
Dollhouse's "unsettling" tone and found the show to be "unexpectedly moving and complex" during the second half of the first season. She called the second season renewal "a good day for unconventional television".
[68]
.^ Even if this show was on the CW or cable a 1.0 rating would be very hard to justify a full season much less a third.- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. 1 February 2010 1:48 UTC www.aintitcool.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
^ Like other shows, each season has a few poor episodes, but overall for DC/Superman fans, it has been very enjoyable.- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. 1 February 2010 1:48 UTC www.aintitcool.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
Most of the show's plot elements are correspondingly resolved by the close of the Season 2.
