I feel Joss is taking a route to slowly build Echo into a Buffyesque sort of heroine, but there's no connection to start with, no reason for me to care what happens to Echo or any of the Actives.
The other problem with Echo (one of the other problems) is that they're of simultaneously going too slowly and not slowly enough. That is, until Echo starts to develop some real sustainable personality of her own, we've not got much to sink our teeth into...but the fact that we start the show with that development already apparently in place means that we have no idea of how the status quo operates, and so no real idea of what Echo is doing that's different or why it matters.
(It hadn't occurred to me that the doc might be a doll, but now that you've mentioned it, I think I am going to assume that every single character is a doll until proven otherwise. Possibly excepting Adelle, but then, possibly not.
(The trouble is, the show would be a lot more interesting to me if that were the case.)
