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.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
