I suspect the Dolls in the Attic aren't just in storage, but are still involved in the working of the Dollhouse, e.g. strapped down with needles in their brains, integral to the process of editing skills and memories into imprints. (Actually, I suspect even Joss Whedon doesn't know what the Attic is. He said that when he introduced Reavers in the original pilot of "Firefly", he didn't know what they were except that Jayne was scared of them.)

Purely a guess, but I think the Attic would be even deeper underground in the Dollhouse, but this would actually make it a basement. [[User:Lying|Lying]] 19:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

In my mind, being sent to the Attic is akin to the 'boxing' of a humanoid Cylon on Battlestar Galactica, ie placing them in stasis/storage. How does this work, if the Actives are taken in on contracts? If Echo were to be sent to the Attic, would it just be until the end of her five year contract, or permanent, or what?Discussion, theories? Ponk 14:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

The closest thing I could think of would be a place where complete erasing of the brain functions is taken place. Your storage theory may be right but I think the Attic is where they keep most of the unwanted imprints and personalities. I still find the five-year contract to be questionable. More than likely, the Attic could be, as you said, a permanent disposable area. I mean, wouldn't the retired active know that they lost five years to their lives just by simply looking at a calendar?

Yes, good point. IWas wondering about that whole 'no memory of the Dollhouse' thing, how would that work? "You don't remember the last half-decade, here's a bag of money"? Perhaps this is the dark secret of the Dollhouse, nobody ever leaves.
I shudder at the thought but it makes sense. They wouldn't risk having someone remembering and asking what happened to the years and the sudden appearance of money. They can't just go back to the previous identity imprints and add to the years just like that. The risks of a retired active wondering what happened to them is just to risky. Unless Topher can make an imprint that can add to the missing years. Hell God 14:59, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
But if Topher is adding 'filler' memories to replace the span of the contract, that's a hell of a paper trail to leave if the former Active goes looking... Not to mention the insanely high risk of encountering a former client if they're just living out in the real world. Ponk 15:16, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
