(SPOILER) Character details for Dollhouse episode four. The casting descriptions may give a general impression of what the episode will be about.

The emerging guest-star-of-the-week model reminds me increasingly of Fantasy Island from the '70s. Not sure if that's good or bad...

Interesting.

Every show has guest stars every week. if you didn't, there'd be no show. There's the overarching story, then the stand-alone "jobs" week to week.

Felicia Day as Alyson! She can sing, we know that. Dunno about the dancing, but as multi-talented as she seems to be, my guess is she can.

pat32082: Agreed, but the similarities to Fantasy Island go beyond just the guest stars. The premise: an organization that allows clients to hire people for a limited period to act out a specific scenario. Then the client goes away and the hired-help revert to their in-house role, awaiting the next client.

I think it may work well, so it's just an observation. Now I'll get off my soapbox!

As they say there are no new ideas only twist....

It's the twist that I'm looking forward too. Though to come to think about it, I kind of liked many Fantasy Island episodes when I was younger.

Fun fun fun! Perhaps Eliza as onstage backup singing bodyguard? At last, someone will realize the full dramatic potential of "My Bodyguard" :D Might a character's mocking rendition of "I Will Always Love You" trigger Echo's memory? (Of a pain-filled moment in her own life, not Kevin Costner's.)
Is this the one that J-Mo wrote? New songs, maybe?

Both James Marsters and Alexis Denisof fit the manager decription. Keeps fingers crossed.

I also just noticed that we now have the title for this episode. Can someone tell me if I have all these episode titles right so far?

1x01 Echo
1x02 Ghost
1x03 ???
1x04 Stage Fright

And, of course, if we know what episode three is titled, that'd be helpful too.

Jobo | September 26, 23:01 CET

Episode 3 is called Target from I remember.

Simon | September 26, 23:02 CET

Isn't Echo episode 2 now?

Racoon Boy | September 27, 04:57 CET

I know this is off topic but with all this info. out, does anybody know what the official premiere date is for January? Shouldn't we know soon?
