Exclusive: Clip From Dollhouse Epitaph 1 Taste the unaired bonus episode
We admit it: Joss Whedon's Dollhouse is slow to get going. But by the end of season one it turned into something really good - and when you get the DVD box set and watch unaired bonus episode Epitaph One, you're going to realise just how far this series can go, and how good it can get.
The basic premise of the show is that human personalities can be removed, stored and replaced at will, allowing the empty vessels to be reprogrammed as whatever is necessary and hired out to the highest bidder. They can be spys, crooks, lovers or whores - if you have the money. But by Epitaph One, it's all gone wrong, and Eliza Dushku's Echo (our heroine, more or less) is leading the other dolls to safety, but pauses to talk to Olivia Williams' Adelle DeWitt en route. We won't say much more than that; watch this taster, and then you're going to have to find the full episode.
The Dollhouse DVD is out next Monday, and if by some chance you remain unconvinced of Joss Whedon's godlike brilliance, watch this and this. Oh boy.
Not that I don't love Dollhouse and Joss Whedon... and I hate to state the blindingly obvious...

i have to say i thought that dollhouse is a briliant original idea fro a program (also the really hot women help to) but after watching Epitaph 1 it has slightly confused thing
now this is obviously where its goin to end up (or an outcome that can be changed) it just begs the question of where are they going next are they goin back to the way the series was of are they going to continue with the post Apocalyptic hell that they show

Really enjoyed Dollhouse and cant wait for the next season. The episode Epitaph 1 (already shown in the UK) managed to turn the whole idea of imprinting niftly on its head and all those little teasers that the FBI agent should try to look past the Dollhouses brothel-esque facade and find out its true purpose suddenly make frightening sense. Loved that Felicia Day was one of the refuges - Joss sure likes to collect and re-use his actors! :) ... Read More

The premise for Dollhouse is refreshingly simple, but there are so many potential storylines and arcs that could be explored, it's a pretty genius concept. The show really could go in any direction. The first 5 episodes are pretty much mid-season fillers, but by the time the 6th episode, written and directed by Whedon, rolled around, I was absolutely hooked. That and Epitah 1 were my favourite episodes, and there's so much to look forward to in season 2. I hope they go mega, mega dark with the p... Read More
Yeah - as the others have said - this was aired in the UK. I liked it even though is was a crazy shift of focus from the rest of the season.
I'm pretty sure that we can count this as conclusive proof that Whedon fully expected Dollhouse to get cancelled hence this strange finale. He's tied himself up a bit now because he's shown a future with most of his characters in it, so he can't really kill any off them off now - without some lame "we've changed the future" type story.
