If you were disappointed by Dollhouse's early episodes and walked away, please do consider a return visit this Friday, when Fox airs episode six, "Man on the Street," which is a vivid and thrilling turning point for the series.

In the way episode seven of Buffy the Vampire Slayer unveiled Angel's series-altering secret, episode six of Dollhouse completely reenergizes the series and reveals some huge character secrets (The remote activation of Actives is key). And, oh yeah, there is also a brutal, totally badass and blatantly passionate fight between Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) and Echo (Eliza Dushku) that marks the beginning of their adversarial and exciting relationship.

Bottom line: "Man on the Street" is crazy awesome craziness. Look for the kind of dramatic and wordy excellence that makes us all love Joss Whedon.
