Wasn't planning to post yet another story on Fox's "Terminator" and "Dollhouse" ratings, but I figure an item is necessary given what happened last night.

For the first time, both shows went up.

"Terminator" (3.5 million viewers, 1.2 preliminary adults 18-49 rating and 4 share) went up 20% for last night's "Today is the Day Part 1" (which at these viewing levels translates to a couple tenths in the adult demo). "Dollhouse" (4.3 million, 1.6/5) went up one tenth -- 7%.

It's too early to read too much into this. After four weeks of gradual but steady decline, hopefully the gain means both shows have at least found their midseason bottoms.

For "Dollhouse," if Joss Whedon's series can creep up a few more notches, the show will have a fair chance of coming back next fall. Serialized sci fi shows are, in general, good business (as Ron Moore points out in yesterday's Q&A re: "Battlestar"), if you can find a way to keep their ratings in the ballpark.

On the other hand, it could be a one-time surge too. We'll see.

NBC grew a bit too, with "Howie Do It" (4.3 million, 1.3/5) and "Friday Night Lights" (4.4 million, 1.5/5) up from last week. Everything else was on par with recent episodes.

Who was that guy that knocked out Echo before her handler came to save her at the end?

I blinked at that bit, I wasn't sure if it was the bloke from the Dollhouse who doesn't like Echo that much.

^ oh it was. I liked how they introduced some humor into that last episode. Doctor scars certainly gives me some man-reactions :) She could give me a checkup any day.

Looks like some of whedon's dialogue is slowly creeping in.

About gorram time.

Latest episode was awesome, by the way. Judging by the new promo, it seems the Dollhouse is a well-known legend in this universe. I wonder if the whole thing gets exposed and they become a program on the run. Can't wait for next week's episode.

      No. The file manager is a lost cause. After all, its dev receives all the undeserved praise he could evre wish from Neowin, without having actually earned it. This has never lead to improvements.

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
