What I like most is to try and figure out what clues Joss is giving us to solve the mystery - What is the Dollhouse? and What will Echo discover?

That's pretty general, so here goes something specific: I really like the twisty plot of the DH and what is going on within it's walls.

I'd love to be "neighborly" with Mellie (205).

PLEASE DON"T READ BELOW IF YOU HAVEN"T WATCHED EPISODE SIX.

Select to view spoiler:

Initially it was that it's another Joss show, outside of that if I'm honest I'd have to say not much. However slowly ever so slowly -which is rare in TV these days- things started to pique my interest. Firstly, Boyd. From the second episode I liked this character. He's an oddity in that he has a moral code in this moraless environment and straight away that contradiction is interesting.
Then it became the mystery around Alpha and this is still the case (I have my theories on who he may be but we'll leave that aside for now)
And now after the last episode Ballard has been given sufficient content to prove very interesting and his side of the story has really grabbed me, not least because of my suspicions about the neighbour having come true (always nice, when you guess correctly :P )
That said the main thing is still the DOLLHOUSE. I'm really not interested in the missions that the actives go on, or at least I haven't been yet, so really it's trying to fathom what the characters within the Dollhouse are up to. That's the juice of the show - for me.

To cap - after six episodes the Dollhouse has really found it's stride. I'm glad too. It really is very, very good now.

The mystery, the suspicions confirmed and yet to be confirmed, the puzzle of motivations. The examination of the very nature of who we are, what makes us, choices and consequences. It provokes me to think about what I most want, what I might hire from a Dollhouse if I could, whether I really could or if the lie of it would render it useless. Is it really a lie and a cheat, or can you really make a person? If you can truly make a person, how wrong is it to do so? If I could remake myself, at least parts of me, would I want to? Would this be a service the Dollhouse could offer? How evanescent a thing might the programming be? It really offers endless examination of reality and of self. This is what drew me in to Dollhouse.

I liked that I thought it was just average until the last episode. Now I love it. I realize now that the stories can take us anywhere. It's a great premise.

I love it for the aforementioned reasons as well: the suspense, Joss, and the great personas of each of the characters. Everyone in that show is interesting which is hard to find in a TV show these days.

The very end of the theme song when the dolls get into their sleeping chambers. Other than that not much so far. One good episode out of 6 is not enough for me to like a show. I'll stick with it for Joss but if it was a normal show I wouldn't even have started watching.

Are there really only maybe two other people on this thread with any real depth to their appreciation of Dollhouse?
