No new “Dollhouse” this week

It’s been co-opted by some sport thing. But that gives all of you who haven’t been watching (VERY BAD WHY HAVE YOU NOT BEEN WATCHING) the perfect chance to get caught up on Season II, available on Hulu.

But in all seriousness, next week’s episode (airing 10/23) will explicitly address the themes of exploitation and human trafficking which have hencesofar only dealt with through science-fictive allegories. If there’s any dramatic television–at least on the networks–worthy of conversation in this space, it’s Dollhouse.
