whats missing for me is the cast of characters. i always though that joss and crews brilliance really showed in the dialoge between characters, but that seems to be missing here.
Hard to have snappy dialogue when your main character is supposed to be vaccuous and empty of any ideas, or programmed to be a false personality that has no connection to other preprogrammed false personalities.
She can be a smartazz one episode, a biblebeater the next, and a sorority brat the next with no continuity at all.
Waiting for the obvious plot twist to come where the repeated "wipes" leave residual imprints and the Dolls begin to act outside of expectations. I still don't see how Whedon will have a truly great series out of it though since it seems to be lacking a long term plot element.
Either Echo breaks out, or she stays wiped and docile forever. If the latter, it's a boring show with no continuity and I'll drop it after first season. If she breaks out, she then wages a private war against Dollhouse? That won't last long one way or another.
There has to be a third option rummaging around in Whedon's head, or this show would have never gotten made.
