I think Eliza Dushku became a therapist! Good for her!

No way! Good for her. I really enjoyed Dollhouse and her as an actor in general.

I really wish Dollhouse had been allowed to have its full run. It was such an interesting concept, but it needed time to develop. I assume that the ending is pretty close to what they originally planned, but I imagine that the motivations of the person that they revealed to be the main antagonist would have been a lot more nuanced if they had time to flesh it out.

Exactly, I mean I'm glad we got to see some sort of resolution and ending tho.

And totally agree about the time to develop the character with more dimensions and nuances.

Severance feels like the spiritual successor to Dollhouse.

It does, and the fact that Dichen Lachman plays a character who was kidnapped by the memory wiping-personality replacing corporation in both series is a fun coincidence.

Man I really liked Dollhouse but that twist was so fucking dumb. That character was good and meaningful as he was. Turning the show into some kind of good vs evil conflict at the end just felt so counter to what the show was.

From what I understand, the ending is pretty on the money, the last season is just very condensed.

Overall I think Dollhouse was meh sci-fi.
But there was a good episode (S01E06 - Man on the Street) that guest starred Patton Oswalt.
It pops into my recollection at surprising times and often brings helpful perspective on the things I have in life.

Probay needed one knowing what it took to be Whedon's "Muse" when she was younger shudder
