It was an alright finale, but I do think that's probably the last one we'll see. It's not that great of a show over all, but it did beat out anything else on tv for the time slot. If there's not a pilot that can replace it then show keep it going- hell it can only get better.

It was a good finale but it just didn't seem right.

Remember when Paul was being contacted by Laurence Dominic (The Dollhouse's head of security prior to Boyd) to find out the Dollhouse's purpose? What ever happened to that storey arc?

No more Millie? Everyone's on the hunt for Alpha? It seems like the interesting plots were wrapped up too quickly.

Anyone else agree?

I liked the season as a whole, and interesting twist in the story with Whiskey!

The one thing I don't think they really focussed on, was the self-awareness Echo is supposed to have gained in the Dollhouse. On the road to the pilot, that was one of the overriding themes that doesn't seem to have come into fruition.

In the last few scenes, I had a feeling it was Millie that Paul had organised to be set free, would have been way to simple to have been Caroline

All in all, good entertainment, here's hoping for a Season 2!

what? that's exactly what the finale was about!!! when alpha imprinted her with all those personalities, the result was just 'echo'. echo the one who 'remembers' pieces of the imprints and is more aware than the others. when alpha did it, it was like that echo finale came to life. it's like a personality different than caroline's, made out of residuals from all her imprints.

i dont thing it was dominic the one altering the imprints to contact paul. in fact, dominic told adele "if it wasnt for me he would have found you a lot sooner". There is obviously someone else, and it would've been nice to add that to the finale to leave a nice cliffhanger

Yeah it's probably over- It's a shame, but with those numbers I don't think Fox will renew it. Maybe it can be moved to another network.

Yeah but the fact remains it achieved much higher when SCC was on...its a great partnership (Y)

It did, but I would say that there's a good chance that Fox will renew TSCC and probably move it to another night. I don't see them keeping it on Friday. TSCC will probably lead-in for Fringe, and they'll probably put one of there new pilots on Friday. I just don't see them keeping this show UNLESS the DVR numbers are really amazing. I know TSCC got like a 80% increase in DVR numbers- If Fox does renew it and keep the show on Friday it's probably going to be canceled soon after.

I would rather see the show moved to another network so we can see a few more seasons (I wish the same for TSCC). The finale showed this show does have good writers, and would probably be amazing if we could get a season two, but I just don't think Fox likes Joss Whedon that much.

Spinoff could take over where the main show left off?

Radha: Dollhouse's chances of renewal are reportedly slim. Please, please say it isn't so! Do you have any happier news?

You know that 14th episode of Dollhouse that's set in a post-Apocalyptic universe and that won't be appearing on Fox network but will be included on the season-one DVD? Well, no one's officially confirming anything, and this is all still entirely in the theoretical dreamy dream stage, but reliable sources tell us exclusively that spinning off "Epitaph One" into a new series is "not exactly outside the realm of Joss? master plan." So even if Dollhouse proper doesn't get a pickup for season two, there might still be an alternate Dollverse for us to play in. What do you think of that?!

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
