I watched the second episode in the first season of Dollhouse, and I have to say it was very interesting. The main character, Ecko, is sold to this some man who wants to take her on an extreme day in the wilderness. Ecko was programmed to be very athletic, and was outdoing the guy in most everything they were doing. They went white water rafting, climbed gigantic rocks, and camped out in the forests. While hunting deer with a hooked up cross-bow, he told Ecko that his father used to pat his shoulder and say “Shoulder to the wheel,” and that he was a firm believer in survival of the fittest. If you can’t hunt down your pray and kill it, then you don’t deserve to eat it, and it deserves to live. If it cannot escape, then it doesn’t deserve to live. This was ironic because after he slept with her, things got intense. He gave her a twenty-minute head start, too run as far as she can, and he was going to hunt her with his bow. I have no clue why anybody in the world is that sick in the head, its disgusting to think about, but makes for an entertaining show. She finds a house in the middle of nowhere, and goes inside for refuge. She drinks a canteen of what she thinks is water, but it is actually some kind of poison that makes her trip out. She ends up surviving because then man who is supposed to be watching over her comes with two guns to save her. They kill the crazy outdoorsman, and finally Ecko goes back to her treatment. There is a private investigator who is getting more and more clues about the dollhouse, and the strange, dangerous things that are happening around Ecko are not helping out with keeping the Dollhouse quiet. The crazy part about this episode is that at the end, she said that she remembered the guy she was watching over her, and well as bits and pieces of other things. She was hallucinating about old memories of herself that were supposedly whipped away, and she is starting to get a feel for what’s going on
Do you think Echo's going to go crazy if she starts remembering things? Even though she put herself into the situation?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why she can remember things that others can't, but I think that makes her special rather than crazy. Although she appears crazy to some, she may be the only sane one. Do you think regaining her memory had anything to do with that stuff she drank to make her trip?
