Tonight's episode, "Man on the Street" is supposedly what 'Dollhouse' is really all about and what Joss Whedon really wanted to make when he came up with the idea for the series.

Do you think it delivered? Or do you think it's too little, too late?

Watch it and post your reactions.

Hell yes it delivered. That was an amazing roller coaster ride of an episode. I already cannot wait for next week's episode.

I had so many "Ohmygosh, YES!!" and "Ohmygosh, NOOO!!!" moments this episode I could hardly keep track! Roller coaster indeed. It absolutely delivered, but delivered does not necessarily mean saved. Moving beyond that depressing concept right now... I noted several echoes (no pun intended) of Firefly in there.

Spoilers were in place since I know some people watched BSG tonight...but really, don't come to the thread if you don't want spoilers. It's been long enough that I'm removing the tags.

Heart of Gold line, Badger/Tanaka threatening "You're not long for this world" type lines, Ballard saying "I surely do" near exactly like Mal does. Oh, I'm so geeked out! And I thought the word "serenity" in last week's episode was exciting.

How completely... tragic? gut wrenching? about Mellie and Mellie/Paul! I had heard she was probably November, but... :(

Just so much happened in this episode! I'm hoping someone can compose a more coherent response than mine right now. I loved this episode, and... barring any earth-shaking change, I find that I love Dollhouse. Why, oh why doesn't Fox let Joss loose with his ideas from the get-go?

I posted here that I thought that our neighbor in 205 (Millie) was a doll and my son said "no way".

What started out as an ordinary ep, with the usual assignment machinations, ended up THE best ep of the season so far. Wow, what action. There is always something more with Joss. And patience is what's needed to get to the good stuff.

I did not see it coming: Echo meeting up with Ballard and giving him what he wanted - Caroline. Only with a twist. Good set up. An innocent investigation in the DH turns up a predator, that is sent off to his punishment.

This is getting good, REAL good!

grrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! the rents were bent on watching other stuff, but we came in on Sierra FLIPPING the eff out and then getting an exam by the doc, and mom went "*scoff* really? what is this? come on change it." came back when ballard and his neighbor were finally getting together, then him meeting up with Echo, cut out again because good will hunting was on, came back when ballard was laying his gun and his badge on his boss's desk and leaving. came back at the end when Echo ended up at that dude's house and bein all happy while the music played. i was about ready to shoot my dad for changing the channel so many times.

will someone plz explain what happened? I've already seen bits of it, including hte end @_@ *massive eyeroll* so you won't really be spoiling anything for me, just helping to make sense of the bits and pieces i was able to pick up. I'll watch it eventually, but i can't this weekend ><;; and i can't wait :P

*steals Cuda's banner* fuckin rocks, dude.

This really should have been the first episode. Or something very much like it should have been the first episode since this ep did rely a bit on us already knowing everybody. I now actually care about these characters and I really didn't before. All those personality of the week episodes would have worked a lot better as filler between arc episodes than they did as setup for the series.
