Dollhouse season 1 blu ray

Dollhouse: Season 1 on Blu Ray

For those of you who don't know, and based on the ratings, a lot of you don't know, Dollhouse is the show about a group of "volunteers" who agree to live and work in a facility called the Dollhouse for a period of five years. The concept is that they agree to have their mind taken out of their body and placed inside that of hard drive leaving them blank slates. These blank slates are then able to be programed and sent on engagements, missions if you will, of different types as paid for by clients. As the Dollhouse is secret only the super rich can use it, and they can use the Dolls for any mission they want, so long as the dolls aren't hurt. The story focuses on two main characters, Echo, an active who throughout the seasons seems to be different from the other blank slates, and Paul Ballard and FBI man in search of the Dollhouse.
As his obsession grows to find and Save her(Echo, or as he learns via anonymous sender, Caroline) she(Echo) begins to experiences engagements that eventually reveal there is more to the dollhouse than meets the eye.

Now this show is a bit of a labor of love, that is to say it is a Joss Whedon show but it is one that may not instantly grab you. And in fact the original pilot episode was thrown out leading to a 12 episode season instead of the original 13 episode order(though due to international deals they HAD to have an episode 13 so they made one for half the cost of a normal episode). So production issues abounded and more to the point that original episode is included, though isn't cannon.
The show really picks up after you sit through the first five episodes. They prepare you for this world. They set it up for you. They let you see the pieces of the world and then in episode six you see how these pieces all fit together and form a puzzle. Then the season slowly builds towards its finale aka episode 12 omega, and then caps it off with the coda otherwise known as Epitaph one, the mysterious new 13th episode(that never aired mind you).

If you aren't sure about it, I'd watch an episode see if it catches your eye. If your already a Joss fan, watch it, buy it. Because it is another good work by Joss, albeit works much much better in quick succession on Blu Ray.
The menus and picture and sound are top notch as expected by Blu Ray disks. The extras are fantastic and really give you a window into the production of the show and on top of that gives you Deleted scenes, a Deleted Pilot, and Epitaph One. There is also some commentary which offers some insight, though as always, the more insightful commentary is Joss just talking about the show.

So I say this, I approve of this Blu ray. I bought it. It is worth your time.
