This week's episode of Dollhouse, titled "Belonging", dropped Echo to focus almost entirely on the character of Sierra and in doing so solved everything that's been so horribly wrong with this show all along. What's wrong is Eliza Dushku who utterly can not act. For two seasons now they've tried to write around her flaws, to find creative ways of dealing with it and rather than fix the show that's turned the entire thing into one big, muddle. With "Belonging" they finally did the only thing that will ever really make Dollhouse work: Let Dushku's Echo fade into the background.
It's a shame really that Dushku is the show's lead when nearly everyone else in it is an absolutely brilliant as a performer. Given a full episode all her own, Diechen Lachman proved tonight beyond all shadow of a doubt what we've all suspected all along: Sierra, not Echo is the best doll in the Dollhouse.
Next episode we're sure to be back to wallowing around in Echo's mediocrity but for now, enjoy what Dollhouse could have been without Dushku to weight it down.
