Dollhouse: season 2, episode 2
"Instinct"
October 3, 2009 - 12:10a.m.
Here was my first thought on “Instinct,” the second episode of this season and the Dollhouse debut for the writing team of Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas: “Uh oh.” Having abandoned the adventure-of-the-week format of the first five episodes of ...

Dollhouse: season 2, episode 1
"Vows"
September 25, 2009 - 11:09p.m.
Entering this second, improbable season of Dollhouse, there were a couple of questions that I was looking for the first episode to answer: 1. How much of an effort would the show be making in order to bring in new ...

"Haunted"
April 24, 2009 - 11:04p.m.

April 10, 2009 - 11:04p.m.
In case some of you missed yesterday’s Dollhouse-related Twitstorm, here’s the story in brief: FOX has opted not to show the 13th and final episode of the season, which for now will not be available until ... -
Dollhouse: season 1, episode 8
"Needs"
April 4, 2009 - 12:04a.m.
Back when Dollhouse premiered, I had tagged it as a cross between Alias and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. The first seven episodes have heavily favored the former over the latter: Lots of standalone operations where Echo goes out ... -
Dollhouse: season 1, episode 7
"Echoes"
March 28, 2009 - 12:03a.m.
I have to admit, I was a little worried about this episode going in. The screener that FOX sent out to promote the magical Joss Whedon-penned sixth episode (which actually lived up to billing) also included the eighth episode, but ... -

"True Believer"
March 13, 2009 - 01:03p.m.
Okay, now we’re getting somewhere.I have some nitpicky issues with the standalone storyline of this week’s episode, and of course I’ll get to them in a second, but the table-setting for the fabled Episode Six: Where ... -

“Gray Hour”
March 6, 2009 - 04:03p.m.
Scott’s in Ohio today, depressing young people by giving a little talk about the end-times for pro critics, so I’ll be covering this fourth episode of Dollhouse, “Gray Hour,” in which our favorite body-for-hire Echo becomes a safecracker ... -
Dollhouse: season 1, episode 3
"Stage Fright"
February 27, 2009 - 05:02a.m.
Okay, Ms. Dushku, how long again until the show gets awesome? (Three more, apparently.)Tonight’s monster-of-the-week episode, “Stage Fright,” was a reminder that series are a marathon, not a sprint, and they often need some time to find their ... -
Dollhouse: season 1, episode 2
"The Target"
February 20, 2009 - 05:02p.m.
Okay, so I was talking to Eliza Dushku earlier today. (How’s that for shameless name-dropping? It’s like we’re old chums or something.) Our discussion will run later in the week, but the line she was pushing on ... -
Dollhouse: season 1, episode 1
"Ghost"
February 13, 2009 - 05:02a.m.
(Note: I’ll be writing about Dollhouse every week for TV Club, but since this review is being posted before tonight’s premiere, I’ve tried to avoid discussing any third-act twists and turns that might spoil the episode for ...
