In Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls." The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.

Joss Whedon made the show, and I think I've made my opinion on his genius well known. It plays on Fox. I figure we can use this space to get hyped for it as well as talk about what we think when it airs a week from now.

Wow. Sounds like a really cool plot, though perhaps similar to Serenity (I think that's it.. it's the one with that girl who is transformed to be a killing machine).

Yeah, same creator. The series was named Firefly, although all of that plot came out in the movie Serenity, based on the show, so you're accurate. :)
