ADELLE IS SUCH A BADASS. She might have the best redemption arc after Spike in the whole ME opus.

Not so many as I'd like, unfortunately. It's worth a look through the archives at rossum-report for things that have been written since the show was canceled.

The comprehensive post on Adelle as an abuse survivor is here.

There's a great post on the Dollhouse as a metaphor for rape culture, written just after S1 but I think it holds up for the whole series.

And a long old review of MotS that looks at Dollhouse in the context of fairy tale tropes.

That first link is amazing.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I know you cannot and should not judge people by what they like (PROCEDURAL CRAP I WATCH: basically all of it) but in a positive sense, so many Dollhouse fans are so fucking smart.
