Blog 5: Dollhouse “Gray Hour”

Today, I watched the next episode in the Dollhouse it was called “Gray Hour”.  In it Echo is uploaded with a master criminal mastermind memory named Taffy.  However, during the theft of a very expensive work of art, one of the members double crosses the crew and leaves them stranded.  As this unjustly event unfolded Echo had her memory erased by the presumed all-star doll Alpha (Alpha is a rogue doll).  In this episode Victor says something along the lines of “If I could be a doll and have all these memories erased, it would be a gift.”  So I wonder if all of the dolls in the dollhouse are escaping something from their past.  I think that they are using the dollhouse as a scapegoat to get through their life and all of their bad decisions.  I believe that people need to live with the decisions they make and learn from them instead of constantly running away from them.  So I wonder what each doll has done in their past and how they were chosen to be the dolls.  I think it would be awesome to be a doll though because if you were then you would be the best at your profession or your always having a lot fun being a partier or pleasing the clients.  In certain circumstances scapegoats are necessary but I think in general for the dolls they should have dealt with their problems instead of running away because once they are done with their service they will once again have to deal with their problems.
