Dollhouse - True Believer [review]

So I watched episode five of Dollhouse today which is now a ritual for me and Skipper every Saturday. I feel so proud I have gotten people addicted to it.
So today’s well yesters episode was called ‘True Believer’ where we see Echo getting implanted with a imprint of a blind person who believes in god and thinks he has lead her to this camp. They for this engagement made her blind using her eyes as cameras so they could see.

There is this religious cult on the outskirts of a town that has grown to hate them and I would some may fear them as they do not know what it is they are doing in the impound, a shop keeper finds a note he believes is from one of the people from the impound saying ‘save me’.

We later find out it was a set up so the feds can get permission to invade the impound as they believe something big is happening inside. Now it really doesn’t clarify if something is in fact happening. The leader [who is an ex con turned god believer] has a stash of guns I say stash he had more then around 40. However he says he has that because he knew some one/gang or whatever would attack them. He knew the day was coming.

He later thinks Echo is the reason for the feds coming for them which sure she is but shh he didn’t know that. Anyhow he slaps her around in anger and mess’s up the camera in her eyes making her see again they all think it’s a miracle from god.
So he decides to set fire to the building they are all in referring to a part in the bible were I don’t really know as I ain’t read the damn thing but some people came out of a fire unburned and such… well he wanted to test that thinking god would save them all well the ones that are pure and believe the ones that do not will die. Well Echo feels she didn’t get her sight back to watch people die so she gets them all out after punching out the leader etc. We then find that the big boss’s right hand man back at dollhouse really has it in for Echo and goes there to kill her well he knocks her out so she would burn however her handler saves her yet again which I love it’s brilliant that we get to connect with him so much, as we can not really connect to Echo as she is different all the time it’s good to connect to some one who is connected to her. You can see his love for her is there.

We also find that V is starting to have ‘man-reaction’ over S which was brilliant. It was good to see some Whedon-verse humour in the mix.

This was a really good episode I mean it had a lot of good moments in it. I love the relationship of T and Dr S and Echo and B. The writing was brilliant which isn’t unusual when it’s Tim writing. Next week should be brilliant yet again. As Joss Whedon will be taking back the show. Fox had a lot of say in the first 5 episodes, but they gave up after a while letting Whedon take full control which I think is a very good idea. Fox really do not know what they are doing so they should leave it up to the people that do. I also how they take it off the Friday death slot same as Sarah Connor I mean it is not a good idea. Fridays are nights when people go out which means they would miss a lot of views on the night it airs. True people DRV and watch it on Hulu and Fox sites. However it will not matter if Fox decide to only count the air night view counts lets how not.

I would give this:
8/10
