"I know you've heard colorful rumors about what an Active is… An Active is the truest soul among us."

After the success of Buffy and Angel, after the abortive debacle that was Firefly and its bittersweet redemption that was Serenity, Joss Whedon has brought us into his third immersive television universe: that of Dollhouse.

Dollhouse premiered on Friday the 13th in February on FOX, the same network that at least harpooned if not sabotaged Whedon's last outing with them and yet there we were again, the Whedon fans who had watched every episode of each series, who know all the lyrics to "Once More with Feeling", Jayne's song, and Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog–There we were again cringing or maybe not even watching, thinking that this was another Whedon masterpiece where some unknown assumed dark conspiracy would axe it before it had a chance to thrive and reach its potential. But this time, despite the portents to the contrary, despite our own naysaying and failing to watch because we hated to witness another painful Firefly end to a Whedon Series…

Dollhouse not only completed its first season, but Season Two has already begun shooting (see our interview with Dichen and Fran).

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Season One is now in 1080p video and Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio on Blu-ray (and DVD too, but really do you want to still bother buying DVDs?) so Whedon fans and other fans of good genre dramas can now get the whole first season, not just the twelve episodes that aired Fridays on FOX, but also the unaired episode zero pilot "Echo" and the much sought-after future-set episode 13: "Epitaph One" guest-starring warrior princess of the geeks Felicia Day from Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

Read on for more including MAJOR SPOILERS for Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Season One!

Dollhouse has a geek pop culture star studded cast playing a wide range of characters from Actives Alpha (Alan Tudyk – A Knight's Tale, Firefly, Serenity), Echo (Eliza Dushku – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Tru Calling), November (Miracle Laurie – Dollhouse), Sierra (Dichen Lachman – Neighbours, Dollhouse), Victor (Enver Gjokaj – Eagle Eye, Dollhouse), and Whiskey (Amy Acker – Angel, Justice League, Drive) through the rest of the Dollhouse staff like Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix – The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, Legion of Super-Heroes), Laurence Dominic (Reed Diamond – Journeyman), Topher (Fran Kranz – Donnie Darko, The Cabin in the Woods), and Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams – The Sixth Sense, X-Men 3: The Last Stand), to the FBI agent trying to track down and learn the truth about the rumored Dollhouse Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett – SMallville, Battlestar Galactica).

Season One starts out slow and teases you just long enough into making you think it's going to be a fomulaic situation of the week, but then as Joss says it escapes the whole "What's in this Corner? What's in that corner? What's in this hatch? What's going on?" formula and Active Engagements progressively fall away to reveal the mythology of the series that draws you in more and more until the Season Finale and… Well, just watch it. Dollhouse Season One was awesome and Season Two is on its way.
