Eliza Dushkuis having the time of her lives , playing Echo , the woman with a million programmable personality . She talked to newsman about Dollhouse , and we asked her aboutJoss Whedon‘s five - yr programme . Spoilers !
In Dollhouse , which starts Friday at 9 on Fox , Dushku plays a womanhood named Echo whose brain has been rub out to make agency for whatever personality and skills a paying client want her to have . But Echo is starting to keep some of her retention and recognize her fellow mindwiped puppets , which is regard a “ glitch in the organization . ”
Dushku state the show is a metaphor for her own lifespan , where citizenry are invariably expecting her to be unlike people in dissimilar situation . It ’s also a metaphor for objectification .
I asked Dushku where she sees her character in four or five years . Does Dushku still think she ’ll have new places to go with the character in Dollhouse season five ? She say absolutely . After all , most people germinate so much in just a single day . citizenry are constantly germinate , so there are plenty of places to with a character like Echo who ’s able to become different characters and is evolve on her own as well .
She added :
Apparently from Clarence Day one , Joss has had a five year plan for the show … what ’s so exciting about this show is , it ’s so unfastened for endless possibleness , because you ’re dealing with so much , it ’s mankind . [ Our ] mentation and wishes and desire are there by the zillion and the trillions .
In Dollhouse , Dushku ’s type has an active named Boyd Langton , who ’s supposed to keep her dependable during her “ battle ” with paying node . But Dushku says “ it ’s obviously not a perfect system , ” and things do tend to go untimely during her gigs .
work Echo has allowed Dushku to “ act as and jump around in between these character , every week and sometimes multiple times in one show . ” She says she has an “ appetency ” to experience unlike emotions , and Josh has founder her “ the ability to show different colors . ” Her favorite characters , so far , have include a blind furor member ( who ’s sent inside a cult with cameras in her retinas . ) And a “ prissy ” 50 - year - sure-enough woman who ’s put into Dushku ’s consistency .
She ’s also enjoy amaze to meet some scenes opposite Tahmoh Penikett , who plays FBI agent Paul Ballard , who ’s investigate the Dollhouse .
The show only make good as it goes along , says Dushku , because Joss Whedon and his writers are like a novelist , building the story as they go along . In future installments , you ’ll get a line more about the history of the Dollhouse , including how long it ’s been around and what happen to past “ Dolls . ”

She ’s been way more hand - on than with anything else she ’s worked on , but luckily everybody involved with it want it to succeed as naughtily as she and Joss do .
In some episode , you ’ll get that clients who hire Dushku ’s character , Echo , custom-make her in ways that they may terminate up regret . Sometimes what people think they hope is n’t what they really desire , but they do n’t find out until it ’s too late , tell Dushku .
Dushku says she ’s cognisant she has a magnanimous sapphic fan survey from her 24-hour interval on Buffy The Vampire Slayer , with its subtext - plentiful Buffy - Faith frenemy human relationship . Dollhouse almost had a homosexual - theme sequence , but that script did n’t make it into the first 13 episodes . “ I ’m already thinking up ideas for the next 13 episodes , ” she added . “ I ’m dying to get back to the writers ’ room and severalize more chronicle . ”
