Misapplied Phlebotinum: Difference between revisions

* Despite possessing an incredibly versatile technology that could be used for any number of things, the ''[[Dollhouse]]'' deliberately explores both the use and misuse of technology that allows one to imprint minds and skills into human bodies. At first glance, the eponmyous Dollhouse appears to be flagrantly misusing their tech to run what essentially amounts to a high-tech brothel/thieves' guild/assassination broker that manufactures tailored agents. However, as the series progresses, we see the other uses of the tech, such as {{spoiler|mass-producing hive-minded supersoldiers, and weaponized use of imprinting/wiping signals across radios/telephones as weapons of mass destruction.}}

In fact, that use of the technology only seems to interest Crichton himself. {{spoiler|What happens when you open a wormhole inside the enemy ship? Inside a planet? A star?}} In the concluding miniseries {{spoiler|John unleashes a wormhole weapon, which is designed to grow in size at a massive rate. Within a few minutes it destroys a planet, and if not stopped would have swallowed up the entire galaxy.}}
