The biggest question mark hanging over Joss Whedon's challenging new show Dollhouse is how do you explain its premise (about mindwiped puppets for hire) to casual viewers? Take Lost: it's a show about a plane crash that strands people on an island. The show becomes way more complex, but it started fairly simple. Luckily, this new trailer, just released by Fox, goes a long way towards distilling Dollhouse into an easy-to-digest concept. The key is probably that it mentions the word "soul."
