I think it's been fairly well reported that Alan Tudyk is coming back as Alpha, but now we've got a photo of him and a description of episodes 2.7 and 2.8, in which he appears: DOLLHOUSE season 2 episode 7 and 8 "Meet Jane Doe/A Love Supreme" - Echo struggles to control her multiple memory downloads; Topher discovers the dangers of science that will have devastating effects on the future; the Dollhouse fears Alpha has returned to seek his revenge; the Actives turn against their handlers.And here's that picture.

Michael Ausiello reports English actor Adam Godley, probably best known to American audiences for his role as Father Ybarra in The X-Files: I Want to Believe is joining the cast as Clyde, "a genius who holds secrets to the Dollhouse." The role is recurring as any role can be when there are less than ten episodes left in the series. [EW.com]

Those are embarassingly bad. Look at the shows that beat it. Muppets Christmas, by 2 million viewers, and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer by 300,000 viewers -- which was on the CW. I'm surprised Fox is letting the show even have the timeslot. Dead air would probably draw more viewers.

I think this is the proper Dollhouse that Joss Whedon always planned.

Just watched Episode 7 and my god is it dark and excellent; now that the show has a definite end, its like he can show exactly what he wanted to instead of the bull**** we've had previously. Heck, the first 4 episodes of season 2 were terrible I thought. At its heart, Dollhouse is meant to be a messed up and twisted show dealing with the darkness of the human psyche when it comes to how we treat others.

Roll on Episode 8!

Oh yeah, i'm also digging this showing 2 episodes a week thing, makes it much better and easier to keep up!

Are the rest of the episodes written after the show was canceled? If so it seems like they are setting up the Epitaph One future with the introduction of Tophers new programming tech.

When Epitaph One was shot there were no guarantees of a second season, so I think the plan was to try to show what would happen if it all went Pete Tong. But once they got the go-ahead for the second season, they can now detail the steps that lead to this outcome. So in a way Epitaph One is maybe a little redundant, but at the time nobody was to know. I just wonder how close to it we'll get by the end of the season.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
