Dollhouse: best doll reveal? (SPOILERS!)
- Thread starter DWMarch
- Start date
Victor early on in S1 and the Senator this season.
Damn ninja, that was fast, I didn't even have the poll up yet!
Edit: my own opinion- although I've loved all the reveals so far, I'd have to say Mellie was the best. I thought it was Jenny Calendar time for her and then she gets the "three flowers in a vase" and kills a rapist by stomping on his neck. Sheer awesome.
The reveal of Perrin as a doll was an awesome WTF moment too but not quite as awesome as the first appearance of November's assassin imprint.

Woops, sorry. 
Between the two, I would have to pick Perrin then for being the more surprising reveal.
Mellie's reveal was kick-ass, but I was not surprised that she was a doll.

Alpha, I really didn't see that coming.
We're all dolls. Dunn dunn durr.
Isn't Dr. Saunders Whiskey? and not November?
Just a note, as other's have said, (Dr.) Claire Saunders is Whiskey, November is Melle/Madeline Costly. As for my favorite reveal...I don't know, hard to say as I somewhat knew all along which character was a Doll/active. I had some suspicions early on about Claire, I can't remember why now, but I remember thinking "maybe she's a doll..." I think I probably knew of Mellie all along, because I had a lot of pre premier articles and interviews where the actress was due to portray November, and Joss supposedly had to drop the character from the show. I also knew ahead of time that Alan Tudyk was Alpha, but I suppose in terms of reval, he probably had one of the better ones.
I admit, Daniel Perrin was a good one, to.

I voted for Alpha. I already knew he was a Doll because I saw "Omega" on TV before I saw "Briar Rose" on the DVDs. However, it is still a great "Oh shit!" cliffhanger when he suddenly cuts up Victor's face and Dr. Saunders barely whispers, "Alpha." Alan Tudyk does such a good job of playing the crazy, goofy sidekick prior to that, that the reversal packs a major punch.
My 2nd choice is probably Mellie. I did not see that coming. I was totally expecting Joss to kill yet another of his happy characters, ala Jenny Calendar or Fred Burkle. Once I heard DeWitt's voice over the phone, my jaw dropped.
The most emotional reveal was probably Dr. Saunders, moreso the moment when she realized that she was a Doll. That was heartbreaking and revealed another layer of moral ambiguity.
Senator Perrin was pretty good but I must admit I had that one figured out way before the actual reveal.

Oops, my bad... I hope I can still edit the poll!
Edit: unless I'm missing something obvious there doesn't seem to be a way for me to edit the poll. I have PM'd one of the mods so hopefully they will correct it.
