This article contains spoilers for "separation".

Praise Kier! Dichen Lachman finally gets his time in the spotlight. Like many other Australian actors who eventually made a jump in Hollywood, Lahman cut the teeth of the multi -year soap opera Aussie "Neighbors". However, although it has since become a fruitful veteran of American television, it has been iousubopitously spent in the roles of blinking-and you will miss the roles in Tentpoles like "Jurassic World Dominion" and "Kingdom of the Monkeys Planet". Fortunately, that's not the case with "Grade", Dan Erikson's tripper -tripping scientific series For modern corporations and their endless search for new ways to exploit their workers.

Speaking of the devil, the unusual biotech giant Lumon Industries and her "separated" technology took whole new shades of disturbing in the "Season" Season 2, especially when it comes to the image of Lahman ... or, whether we should say, characters. As you may remember, the actor made his debut in the series as Ms Casey. With its almost essential way and patience, the Wellness Lumon adviser is ideally suited for dealing with the company's children's infants, ie. The "cut off" employees of Lumon who know nothing about life outside their work. However, over time, it has emerged that Mrs. Casey herself is actually the injection of a scout of Gema, the beloved fog of Lumon's tormented employee, Mark Scout (Adam Scott).

Things got An even more disturbing turnaround in Chici Bardo in Season 2. There we learned that Lumon not only created more infections for gems, but in essence he holds his prisoner because he undergoes his various injections of painful experiments designed to test the boundaries of separation technology. Of course, if you are a longtime fan of Lahman, the idea of ​​her basically playing several people living in the same body will ringworms Bellvonche because Ericsson is too aware.

Before gathering the most powerful heroes on Earth, but after sending his cheerful band to space cowboys With "Serenity" followed by "Firefly", "Serenity", Ossos Vedon became philosophical with its short -lived scientific creation "Cukhaus". The Fox series, such as "Neeverans", focuses on the gray corporation - in this case, the shadow Rosum - which specializes in mixing with the heads of its workers. As it is implied by its title, Rosum programs, its employees, AKA activists or dolls, with temporary alternative figures and skill kits, which in turn allows its clients to treat these dolls as well, living dolls specially designed to fulfill their craziest fantasies.

Namely, Rosum dolls also form a more durable alternative person who knows nothing in the world outside their workplace, aka their "puppet house", besides their regular personality, which does not retain memories of their Rosum experiences. In other words, their dolls are incidents on their sides, ie. The people of Lumon employees who remember only the events of their personal lives of "severance".

This brings us to Lachman, which co-glows in the two seasons of "Dollhouse" from 2009 to 2010 as a Sierra doll (whose real name is Tsesang). When Alan Sepinwal noticed the parallels between the Vedon show and "Grade" during an interview with Ericsson Rolling stone (Specifically what happens to Gema in "Chici Bardo"), the show revealed that this is something incidental:

"Yes. I saw" Dollhouse ". But it's funny: it didn't really happen to me until we wrote in the episode that it was a little similar to the concept.

Ericsson's answer makes sense. For all their similarities at the surface level, "cutting off" and "dolls" are quite dramatically different. The latter only briefly refers to the concept of labor exploitation; Like competitors in the "squid game", people are usually in some serious strait when Rosum persuades them to "volunteer" to become a doll with a promise of a huge day of pay in exchange for their services. Sierra is certainly an exception to this rule, but even then, her story has more in common with Evan Rachel Wood Dolores abnormal from previous West World seasons than on the gem. (The common denominator is all they are very dark in their own ways.)

However, for the most part, Dollhouse merges the topics of strengthening and autonomy that Vedon is known for existential stunts, especially the idea that the dolls still retain parts of their temporary figures after they are cleaned. Also shown more powerful emotions that surpass the programming of the dolls, which is why Sierra is always in charge of her colleague Victor (Enver Okokaj) and vice versa, even when they are programmed with different faces.

It also has an intriguing meta-element of "Dollhouse". After all, the relationship between the dolls and the people who lead Rosum is more than a little as real life between the actors and their bosses. Unfortunately, it is a concept that really does not attract the attention it guarantees in the show, as Vedon tends to be ashamed of fully calculating with its darker implications. (Especially, when certain Rosum employees use the dolls to meet their personal needs, they are not condemned to the way their clients are.) Then again, Self -criticism has never been a strong Vedon suitwas that?
