Awesome! Though I wasn't soo big on it in the first few episodes, it really picked up around 5 & 6. I am glad Fox actually gave it another chance, a rarity on Fox.

As for Sarah Connor, I think they would be smart to order a 13 episode arc, and put it on a different night. It's possible that with the new Terminator movie next week, it could re-invigorate the franchise and bring in a bigger audience next season if there were to be one.

Great to hear it's coming back. I'm also glad they sorta wrapped it up just in case there wasn't a second season. There's nothing worse than getting near the end of a series and realising they've decided to string it out for another season and you'll be left hanging.

I'm sure anyone reading this has seen the finale so this shouldn't be a spoiler, but just in case I'm gonna hide it. There's just one thing that I couldn't figure out in the last episode:

Why did Ballard end up joining the Dollhouse after spending the whole series trying to take it down? Freeing Millie was a good act, but he could have broken her and Echo out. Unless he wants to take down Alpha and feels he'd be better doing it with the Dollhouse seeing as he's finished in the FBI. It just feels like his swapping sides was a bit rushed.

Also, I get the feeling Topher and Whiskey have a past outside of the Dollhouse. Perhaps a failed relationship. Or even siblings?

^ Agreed about Topher and Whisky having a past. Especially the line about her hating him. I kind of figured she was a Doll in the lead up to the finale so I wasn't all that surprised when it came to light, however it does add a nice addition to the plot come Season 2. As for Ballard working with them, it's the whole part of the problem or part of the solution theory. He's already found the Dollhouse, but in working with them he can protect those inside. While I agree it doesn't get rid of the fact he was so against it, this way he can keep an eye on Carolina which he wants and he can "protect" them all better from the inside. Plus its a nice way to keep his character in the show!

Bonus points for the more screen time for Amy :D She's quite the sexy treat. I avoided this thread for awhile as I hadn't watched it yet. I know I'm a slacker! Just like McFly..

Hell yea Rappy. We've said it before. She can be a new Doll, they're pretty similar to a Terminator as far as acting goes anyways, plus she fits the sexy, young, athletic body type they seem to require ;) Alpha will definitely be back, and evil dolls would be cool.

^ She's what kept me going through Angel!

It's been so long since I've watched it, who was she again on it?

Fox announced its schedule on Monday morning as upfronts week kicked off in New York City.

The network is holding most of its new offerings until midseason when postseason baseball is out of the way. But the musical "Glee" and two comedies -- the animated "The Cleveland Show" and "Brothers" -- will make their debuts in the fall.

The new shows at midseason will be -- as previously reported -- dramas "Human Target" and "Past Life" and "Sons of Tucson," a comedy.

Other news from the release, both explicit and implicit:

-- "Lie to Me" will get the post-"House" boost on Monday nights, while "Fringe" movies to Thursdays, where it will follow "Bones."

-- "So You Think You Can Dance," which has its Season 5 premiere Thursday, will have its first shot at a regular-season berth this fall. On the conference call, Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said that he thinks "So You Think You Can Dance" will bring more women to the network and be a good companion for "Glee."

-- As we previously reported, the low-rated Joss Whedon show "Dollhouse" has been renewed for its second season in its same Friday time slot. "This is a bet on Joss Whedon," Reilly said.

-- The resilient "Til Death" will return again despite never really finding an audience.

-- Goners: "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Sit Down, Shut Up," "Do Not Disturb."

      If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.

      It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing by Hamid Ganji Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the way people research, get their news, and perform routine tasks has changed dramatically. Now, almost everything around us has a touch of AI, and companies are trying to embed it into nearly every product and service they offer. With that in mind, new research shows how Americans are actually adopting this change and using AI in their everyday lives. According to new research conducted by the Pew Research Center, 49% of American adults now use AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini. This marks a significant increase over last year, when only 33% of American adults reported using AI. Additionally, four in ten U.S. adults (42%) said they use AI tools to research information, while 38% said they use these tools to handle tasks at work. Entertainment, image and video editing, and getting medical advice are among the other ways Americans are using AI. Moreover, ChatGPT dominates the U.S. AI market, with 44% of respondents saying they use OpenAI's chatbot. Gemini follows at 24%, while Copilot and Meta AI account for 17% and 14%, respectively. Respondents also said that AI chatbots generally have a positive impact on their productivity and how informed they are. But when it comes to AI’s impact on society, Americans remain largely skeptical. About 40% of American adults believe AI will be more harmful than beneficial to society over the next 20 years. Additionally, 31% expect AI to have a negative effect on them personally. Another 31% of respondents say AI could be equally positive and negative. As for data security, pessimism remains high: 71% of respondents say AI will make their personal information less secure, while only 3% believe it will make their data more secure. American adults also largely lack confidence in both the government and AI companies when it comes to regulating and developing AI. About 67% of Americans have little to no confidence in the U.S. government’s ability to regulate AI effectively. Six in ten adults are also not confident that U.S. companies will develop and use these tools responsibly.
