Opening scene: Echo and the Older British Lady
Nice line here: "Ya ever try to clean an actual slate? You always see what was on it before."
:02--Oh, yawn. Motorcycle racing. And weirdly stilted banter between Echo and the Birthday Boy.
:03--Echo and BB hit the dance floor. Eliza Dushku is a great dancer, and knows it: they had her dance quite a bit on Buffy, too. And WHOA that's a short dress.
:05--Banter here is better.
:08--Geek Boy is Creepy.
:11--Opening credits are typically Fox-sexy, but the music is nice if un-catchy.
:18--we meet the FBI agent who thinks the Dollhouse is real. Not-Mulder is a BSG-refugee, the character formerly known as Helo.
:26--Creepy Geek Boy is oddly likable, in spite of it all.
:33--I liked Faith. I think Echo might be slightly beyond Eliza Dushku's acting chops. Or maybe I can't get over that she's FAITH.
:45--Okay, the tension in the episode is pretty compelling.
All in all, nice set up for the next episode, and while this show isn't Firefly, it's highly watchable.

I suppose, like most Whedon properties, it will grow on me. I am at the moment pretty much at the 'it's not Firefly' stage.
Yes, I liked Faith. I even liked Tru from Tru Calling. Dushku is great but you may be right about this character being a touch beyond her. Maybe as the show grows, she will too. Even Stewart wasn't really Picard in most of the first season of THG, after all...
