I missed something!
Who knocked Echo out in the burning building?
Was it the guy from Dollhouse who works for the boss lady, with the grey hair, who doesn't seem to like her?

Yes, it was that man. His last name is Dominic and he was the one to tried to "take care" of Echo.
I liked this week's episode. I thought it was great.

It was very good-- a different (non tough chick) role for Eliza; continuing the questioning of the whole blank state for the actives; finally throwing that agent a bone by seeing her on TV; and now creating this inter-department bickering of sorts over how to deal with Echo.
Plus some good writing and comedy.
And the previews for next week look really exciting as well!

I missed next week's promo too.
What's the premise?

They didn't show it in my area because of stupid March Madness! What did I miss? (Could someone give a brief synopsis?)

The Dollhouse was unofficially (and under some false pretense) working with the ATF to take down a cult, a la Branch Davidian.
Echo had small cameras in put in behind her eyes that, though made her blind, were able to show video of everything she did inside.
She was given the personality of a blind religious woman who wanted to join the cult.
It was pretty good.

I particularly like the fact that the reason Echo's persona broke with the cult leader was that she was a woman of true faith that had just experienced (what was to her knowledge,) a miracle -- and realized that God wouldn't have restored her sight just so she could be passive and die. A nice, if subtle, jab at those who think faith means you have to follow those in authority, well, blindly.
The show seems to be touching some truly interesting ideas about exactly what identity and free will are.
I've heard Joss quoted as saying next weeks episode is the point where the series really takes off. Here's hoping it does, but if not, I'm glad he got a full 13-episode commitment out of Fox, because that's just enough for a fairly self-contained plot arc.

"True Believer" was by far the best DollHouse episode yet. Eliza Dushku's(Echo) performance was outstanding in its delivery. She played the role of a blind woman very close to the mark. The show still needs a lot of work, but it seems to be getting better. I still think they are trying to add too many plots twist in a 1 hour show though.
The more I watch Dollhouse the more I begin to sympathize, and empathize with the character "Echo." Each week they put the character in a situation that might result in death, and each week I cheer her on to survive, which she does. There is something about this character worth caring about.

Thank you, Schism! I can't believe I missed it.

Another great episode.
Boyd is just better and better every week- I love the way he engages with Echo's 'characters' with such paternal sincerity. It's very touching.
Also this was Eliza's best performance thus far. Looks like she has found her rhythm.
Strong Episode.
