Blog 7: "Did i fall asleep?"

Today I watched two episodes of Dollhouse.  I think I might be hooked on the plot.  I’m starting to get pretty interested in the developing storyline involving alpha.  Alpha is supposed to be an active that went crazy and killed everyone and now he is interfering with Echo’s missions.  Anyway, I watched episodes 4 and 5 but I have decided to focus on episode 5 for this blog.  This episode was about a cult in Arizona.  The cult is under federal investigation and there hasn’t been enough evidence to get a warrant to search the compound until now.  Echo is imprinted to be a blind believer and she is taken in by the cult.  At the Dollhouse though, she was given a surgical procedure to implant a camera into her eye so the feds could watch and gather the evidence they need.  Echo just ends up getting slapped so much that she can see again eventually anyway.  During the federal raid, the leader of the cult tries to burn everybody.  Echo realizes the danger and quickly takes control of the situation saving all of the stupid cult followers.  This cult reminded me a lot of the Dollhouse itself.  The cult leader brainwashes his followers and manipulates them to do what ever he says and whatever he wants.  In a way, you could make the same comparison to the Dollhouse.  They take these people and erase their memories and manipulate them to do whatever.  The Dollhouse might as well be a cult.
