Line 223:
== Eventually, if the show runs long enough, Echo WILL be rented by a woman. ==
There's no way that isn't on the schedule to happen at some point. [[Joss Whedon]] gets credit from the left for not side-stepping the issue of homosexuality; he has a ready made "don't judge" moral (someone important in the woman's life disapproves and tries to kill them); and there's plenty of opportunity for [[Fan Service]].
* Topher will [[Firefly (TV series)|be in his bunk.]]
* According to [https://web.archive.org/web/20091225015101/http://www.afterellen.com/people/2009/2/eliza-dushku-interview?page=0%2C0 this] interview, no homosexuality for the first 13 episodes. It will show up in the second season, assuming they don't get [[Screwed by the Network|screwed]] again.
* Thrown a bone by Episode 9, in which Dr. Saunders mentions that homosexual encounters are the most popular reason Dolls are rented out.
Line 254:
 
== The Dollhouse is the centuries-prior predecessor to the Academy. ==
[[Firefly (TV series)|The Academy]] makes use of powerful mental control and subliminal messaging to control its agents. This could easily be a refined version of the basic imprinted personalities used on the Actives. Over five centuries, they improved the technology to its present state in the ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' Verse, though it seems they can't quite get the tech to develop psychic powers to produce perfectly mentally stable agents....
* So, keep your eyes open for the episode where an Active goes berserk after seeing an ad for Nature Valley granola bars! (All right, [[FOX]] would have to pay for that [[Product Placement]], but still...)
** But wait, wasn't that [[Universal]]?
Line 491:
* [[Doctor Who|The Doctor]] is a Doll on assignment. The TARDIS is his handler.
** I think my brain just imploded...
** The Time Lords invented imprinting technology and the Dollhouse are actually using stolen tech they found inside Wash's crashed TARDIS. (see "Alpha is [[Firefly (TV series)|Wash]]" above)
*** The Dollhouse technology is simply a modified Chameleon Arch, stolen from Wash's TARDIS.
** The Time Lords actually sent the Doctor out on assignments, which he interprets as his rebellious misadventures, which the Time Lords knew would prevent greater disaster, so he is essentially a Sleeper Active. But now that the Time Lords are gone, he is a Doll with no assignment, which creates his angst.
Line 605:
== {{spoiler|At least 75% of this page has been Jossed in the old-school sense of the term by "Epitaph One".}} ==
 
== Epitaph One is the seed of the [[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]] universe. ==
In the [[After the End|future]] of Epitaph One, [[Earth-That-Was]] could no longer sustain us - due to all the {{spoiler|remote imprinting tech}} and the mess it made of the world.
* The solution to the mess was to settle on a new planet on the rim (of a new solar system), called Safehaven. This, and similar settlements would eventually form the Independents.
