When Dollhouse?s second season begins September 25, bells will ring as Battlestar Galactica?s Jamie Bamber guest stars as a wealthy businessman who marries Echo (Eliza Dushku) while she?s on assignment.

?I was really impressed with Jamie,? Dushku tells TV Guide Magazine. ?He?s a gorgeous husband with [whom I got] great wedding pictures for my first time down the aisle.?

Despite an intense on-screen fight??I found myself literally sobbing real tears,? Dushku says?the faux wedding day was not without some lighter moments.

?I took a picture and sent it back to my mom, and she called me, a bit flustered,? Dushku says. ?In the past couple years, I?ve been getting the [marriage] question from her more than ever, so it?s nice that I could send her some picTV Guide Magazine??

When we see Victor next, his face will have been repaired from Alpha's slash attack. [E! Online]

The bit where Echo marries the visiting businessman played by Jamie Bamber leads to a fight scene so intense, Eliza Dushku cried real tears. There are "beaucoup bumps and bruises" this season, she says, and generally the new season is darker and rougher, and the show has fully hit its stride. Knowing the dark places that the characters go to in the horrendous future gives people a confidence to play with their characters more, she explains. Also, Echo beats up bad guys using a private jet as a weapon. And she handles actual babies in another scene. Tahmoh Penikett says he just read the script for episode four, and it's the darkest thing Joss Whedon has ever done. [TV Guide Magazine and TV Guide Magazine]

Niceee Summer Glau! Best decision Joss has made.

But in all seriousness I really think Joss should take DollHouse in another direction. So if he's bringing in Summer Glau, while he's at it, he should bring in Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher and Ron Glass.

Then change the image of Doll house so that the cast takes place on a Space transport, as pirates while fighting off mysteries that the government holds on Summer Glaus Character, who happens to be a powerful psychic.

Everybody with me? yeah?.. no?? yeah?...... hmmm well I thought It would be a great direction to take for the show.

haha

TV critics got their DOLLHOUSE 2.1 screeners today (wrapped in a lovely burgundy t-shirt and a note from Joss Whedon).

Titled ?Vow,? the episode is superb: funny, suspenseful, sexy and willing to kick around more than a few Very Big Ideas. Combined with the series? terrific ?lost? episode (?Epitaph One?), ?Vow? roughly triples my investment in this series? fate. Which is to say, its eventual cancellation will be three times harder to bear now than the day before I saw ?Epitaph One.?

Hints of what awaits:

* Apparently much time has elapsed between 1.12 and 2.1. Not as much as between 1.12 and ?Epitaph One.? But still.

* This season?s Big Bad may or may not be one Sen. David Perrin (Alexis Denisof, who played Wesley Wydham-Pryce on ?Buffy the Vampire Slayer? and ?Angel?). Perrin also may or may not be the season?s Big Good. 2.1 fails to specify Sen. Perrin?s party affiliation.

* Claire Saunders' existential crisis (turns out she?s FAKE!) means a BIG Amy Acker episode before she wanders off to her role on ABC?s midseason ensemble drama ?Happy Town.? (My understanding is Acker will continue to recur on ?Dollhouse? even as she stars on the other series.)

* 2.1's teaser and first act likely contain the series? funniest 12 minutes to date.

* There?s a lot more to Adelle and Paul?s first-season-ending ?arrangement? than a lot of viewers may suspect.

* Sierra is a fleeting highlight, looking for a few moments like she just wandered off the ?Mad Men? set.

* Tahmoh Penikett?s ?Battlestar Galactica? co-star Jamie Bamber (who?s only half-American) uses his Brit accent. The two former CAGs share a big scene near episode?s end.

* ?Epitaph One? vet Felicia Day does not turn up in 2.1, but word is she's back later in the season.

:DAnother clue for you all: The Walrus was Paul.

Sounds amazing! :D

Now that Echo has been re-integrated with her other personalities and started to retain her identity no matter what, things are going to get hairy. The dynamic between Echo and her "original" personality Caroline will be at the center of season two. And in the season opener, where she's married off to Jamie Bamber things go terribly wrong and Echo starts turning back into Caroline under stress. Which could be a good thing, or a bad thing. [E!

It?s not James Marsters but this will do nicely?

Dollhouse has tapped spooky-cool Ray Wise to join the cast in the potentially recurring role of Howard, an intelligent higher-up in the Dollhouse who has huge presence and humor.

Wise is coming off of a two-year stint as Lucifer on The CW?s Reaper. Of course, to me, he?ll forever be the dude who offed Laura Palmer.

Dollhouse, which kicks off season 2 a week from Friday, is amassing quite the impressive talent roster this season. In addition to Wise, upcoming guest stars include Jamie Bamber, Keith Carradine, Alexis Denisoff, and Summer Glau.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By sphbecker · Posted

      All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
