Dollhouse Is Feminist (Part 20: 2x04)

A feminist analysis of the fourth episode of Dollhouse's second season, "Belonging". Feminists have strong feelings about this one, either loving or hating it. It's a revenge fantasy in which Priya (Sierra) gets revenge on her rapist Nolan. Topher gets his first ever moral dilemma, starting him on the road to redemption. Echo has a very small role, but it is shown that she's planning for some rebellion. I do agree with criticism about ableism where the show seems to say that it's okay to make someone a Dollhouse slave if they're crazy, but in general the show's okay.

I didn't realize Tofer had more screen time than Prea in this episode. Regardless she definatly has all the memorable scenes. Specially since it's a call back episode.
