Epitaph Two Ties Loose Ends on Dollhouse

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse aired it's series finale January 29, 2010 with an episode titled "Epitaph Two". He ended the first season with "Epitaph One", an episode only aired online. "Epitaph One" took place ten years in the future of the series and showed the consequences of the technology that was the show's construct. This technology, called Active Architecture, Wiping, and Imprinting, was used to replace a human being's original personality with a custom-designed persona. In the series proper, it was used to make the Actives, or Dolls, into fantasy lovers for rich clients. The Epitaph episodes explored the results of using the technology for military and medical applications. Wireless signals wiped the personalities from anyone not shielded; other signals imprinted people with the command to kill. The Epitaph episodes included the main cast from the series, but were not centered on them. It allowed for a wider scope and a natural ending to a well-written, engaging series. I will miss it.
