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??

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

you know what...you should pitch that to Joss!

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.

    • I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
