Dollhouse Characters

[Hopefulsuicide]

Talk about the individual characters here. Who's your favourite? What do you like about them?

I'm loving them all :lol:

[bychance]

The father who's daughter was kidnapped...because I liked the sound of his voice and he was cute, lol. :P I can't say Echo is my favorite character because she really isn't a character, she changes/will change every other scene into someone else.

[Hopefulsuicide]

well the blank girl is Echo... the girls she changes into are all different, but she still comes back to the same blank state

[Novak Fan]

I like Echo exactly because of that. Also I think that it's a very big chance for Eliza to show that she can act...or not. Playing a different character every week, that's a challenge I have to say.

[Xanderman]

Ballard. Because he's Nowhere Man. heh

[Pamela]

I picked Sierra because she's the most believable as other people.

[Hopefulsuicide]

I really like Boyd. There is just something nice about him. Maybe i've been imprinted to have nice feelings about him :lol:

Victor is my second fave. He's just such a guy!

[LexGossip]

I picked other because i really like November/Mellie though my second fav is Victor and he's so hot.

[Welling_is_pretty]

i voted other because Victor is my favorite. I didn't acre for him as Lubov (ok, he was kinda funny but...) but when we found out he was a Doll?

And since then he's been so amazing (Enver rocks!) in every scene he's been in I find myself looking forward to every Victor scene we can get.

[KATRENA]

Echo.. Eliza Dushku just kicks ass

[ginnyfan]

I bounce around a lot on who my favorite character is. At first it was between Boyd and DeWitt. Olivia Williams is a wonderful actress. I think I'd enjoy watching her read the phone book. I admire the guy who portrays Boyd also, he was in the Julie Taymor film "Titus."

Then I fell head over heels in love with Mellie/November.

Then I fell for Dr. Saunders/Whiskey.

Now I'm really starting to like all of the characters more. I really like Echo/Caroline. After Epitaph One I could finally see her as the heroine of the show. I guess she's starting to be my favorite character.

[kernel_thai]

I voted for Boyd. He was definitely my fav regular from the first season. Naturally his role has been cut this season ... go figure. Why? Because he really got the Dollhouse. Ballard was all about the quest. The rest of the Dollhouse staff were in it for themselves. Boyd actually seemed to care and tried to make a difference within the situation as opposed to trying to change the situation.

[hansioux]

I voted Boyd as well. I can't wait till we get more of his back story....

[farmboy09]

I dont know anything about Dollhouse, but as a fanatic SCI FI geek, im sure im going to love the show & all its characters......

Gotta start looking for a new home since my fav show has started to be lame this season............:(

*shhhhh dont tell my fellow fans about this*;)

From Favorite to Least Favorite:

Echo - What can I say. She is the hero character.
Boyd - Like an older brother or father to Echo. Boyd is like a man of steel.
DeWitt - Well the woman of steel.
Sierra - Kicks butt.
Dr. Saunders - Another great character. Like her relationship with Topher.
Topher - Mad genius
Paul Ballard - Not without his flaws, but a hero nonethless
November - Like her relationship with Paul. Also kicks butt.
Victor - Really shouldn't be this low on the list, but I love the others more. Love his relationship with Sierra. Doesn't get enough screen time
Dominic - Does he get a mention here? Poor guy ended up in the Attic, whatever that is.
Alpha - Haven't seen enough of him, but he is a big meanie.

All awesome.

[bonoferox]

Topher is the most enjoyable onscreen in my opinion. But I also love the Victor / Sierra pairing.

[Hopefulsuicide]

Looking back at the whole two series, here is how i'd rate them

1. Topher (probably started out as the most annoying Whedon Character i'd ever seen, but by the end I found his story the best. He was the greyest of the grey, and yet he had a line that he wouldn't cross that made him so much more endeering than other morally ambiguous characters like Adele. Plus he was genuinely sweet.

2. Mellie: (I loved her from the beginning, and she wasn't really meant to be such a likeable character. She was just the way for the audience to hear about Paul's investigations... but she was just so good. When Madeline was put back into the world I was heavily dissapointed we'd never see Mellie again. So her return in the final episode, and Paul's realisation that she was actually a person, and it was okay that he had feelings for her, was wonderful.

3. Senator Perin - (Loved the idea of the Dollhouse being able to imprint you with yourself... only better... really creepy and puts the whole idea of identity into question. Alexis played him so well, and the whole arch was just top notch.)

4. Echo - (kinda like Mellie in that she's debatable as an actual person, and yet so full of personality by the end that she was simply fascinating to watch. Her breakdown in the finale about Paul's death had me crying my eyes out (well done Eliza!))

5. Victor/Sierra - (I found Sierra's origin episode the best of the entire season, but her and Victor's connection was definately one of the best things about the entire series. It was a beautiful, innocent, honest and impossible love story)

6. Boyd - (loved him as the Giles type, loved him even more when we found out about the deception. What a strange villain, to see everyone he's wronged as the family he has made)

7. Adele - (Not like any other 'is she bad or good' character i've ever seen, because even at the end I still wasn't sure what i'd class her as. She did some very questionable things, but always managed to come out strong and unshakeable.)

8. Dr Saunders - (Unusual to see Amy playing a role so depressed and monotone, but it totally worked in the mixture of characters we had. She was refreshing as the only character to accept that she wasn't anything)

9. Ballard - (At first, not the most likeable of male leads, but by the end had become kind of familiar, like he was just meant to be a part of all this.)

10. Alpha - (Wasn't sure about the switch too kinda good guy by the end, but definitely a frightening villain, and a great way of presenting what can go wrong in the individual sense of the Dollhouse.)

[borednow]

1. Mellie - First person I really fell for. I found her adorable every moment she was on screen.
2. Dr. Saunders - I started watching the show because I love Amy Acker but for a while she wasn't really shining, I liked her but we got to see so little of her... once the end of season one came around though! Wow! Out of the park! And probably wins as the most tragic figure. IMNHO
3. Senator Perin - Amazing and I didn't see the switch coming at all! Deserved a much bigger roll! Played to perfection by Alexis!
4. Ivy - She got me to like Topher... she left me wanting more, where as in Dollhouse I found I usually wanted less... *cough*Echo*cough*
5. Boyd - Once again I didn't see it coming but congratulated it on making sense, his interactions with Echo were probably the only time I really enjoyed her character other than at very very first.
6. Topher - At first I found him really really annoying then I really started to like him and he started making me laugh.
7. Victor - Doesn't beat out Daniel for cutest puppy in the whole damn place but comes close.
8. Sierra - Her over all story was one of the best of the show, she was a cool chick who could kick some butt and didn't have to turn into the worlds biggest Mary Sue...
9. Adelle - Reminds me a bit of Madeline from La Femme Nikita... just a thought.
10. Doll!Paul - I never liked Paul's fixation on Echo but without it I did like Paul.

[A Flawed Fashion]

Adelle is my favorite character on the show. She was fantastic.

[Sugar]

I liked Alpha...he was always interesting to watch.

[Costanza]

I voted for Echo but I really love Adelle, Paul, Topher, Sierra, Saunders and Victor as well :D

[The Beyonder]

Paul Ballard. Quite simply because he's the greatest TV show character of all time and had to say "The Dollhouse" a minimum of once in every episode.
