Oh, it's just for fun. Joss' works always allow the viewers to parse, interpret and connect. Dollhouse isn't BTVS, far from it, but discussing what's behind the screen and trying to find redeemale qualities in the writing feels like old times with Buffy.

I remember how underwelmed and disappointed I was with "Chosen" when it aired (mostly because I found it showy with too many special effects), and how I made myself enjoy the show ending and its metaphors just by discussing the episode on a forum of fans and by writing essays on it!
