Blog 13, Episode 8

In episode 8, the dolls are remembering things that have happened to them. The management tries to fix this by doing something to their sleep. This apparently backfires and some of the dolls wake up and can think for themselves. They are no longer zombies and each form their own ideas of why they are where they are. This shows they are different and their previous personalities might be influencing the way they react. They all say that they can’t remember anything about themselves but know “the capital of Nebraska.” They are learning to survive by blending in and thinking. Echo has to go to the doctor and the doctor realizes Echo is conscious and knows something strange is happening but she doesn’t seem surprised. One of the dolls who woke up is found out and wiped. He goes back to being a normal doll and that makes me wonder how often the dolls do this. The awakened dolls decide to escape and the director knows this and doesn’t immediately try to stop them. I feel like this may be a trap or an exercise to see how well the Dollhouse staff reacts or how much the dolls end up remembering. I have been watching this on Netflix and my internet connection is slowing down terribly which causes the video to freeze for long periods of time. Unfortunately I have a very early and important morning tomorrow and I did not anticipate this taking as long as it is. So I will continue this episode on my next blog. Goodnight.
