I bet the breakout will happen in the season finale.

Its sad that November's baby died. I don't like the part of this show that allows the dolls to be living blow up dolls. I'm ready for them to bust out and then work together to take down other houses. I'm not interested in seeing any more characters Eliza can play. She needs just one so she can practice on it. I'll keep watching but my spider senses tell me this show is not long for this world. Say 5 or 6 more episodes? Its a shame really because it has so much potential. I just wish it would come into its own and get away from the programed blow up doll persona. JMO.

While I hope that we get picked up for another season, this is nowhere near as good as Firefly, and we saw how well Fox treated that....And speaking of Firefly, I think Sean Maher is more who I'd see as Alpha as not who's been named earlier in this thread....

Pretty unsatisfying. The sierra character just seems like extra to me. I keep waiting for her to get killed off and replaced by someone more interesting.

I'm interested in seeing if there is one she can. She's not so great, and this episode was tres disappointing. I cared far more about Victor and Sierra than I did Caroline/Echo.

I think I would enjoy Sierra more if there were a different actress playing her, but I like all the other actives. Helo...er, Agent Ballard, is so freaking hot I would watch just for him.

If I had to chose I'd take Terminator over this in a heartbeat with no regrets. And I love Joss, Eliza and Tahmoh. I just never clicked with the premise. It's just a bit too weird for me whiel trying to be be set in teh 'real' world. Not connecting with it.

It was frustrating that Caroline was so similar to her previous characters. I also found Caroline to be annoying. I love Eliza and I think her acting is fine.

Except for the wife of the fat guy. But every other character all I see is Faith talking, Faith yelling, Faith FIGHTING! I wish she chose to do the Faith series.

I don't hate the show, obviously, since I'm still watching, but I'm not really into it either. It's weird.

I am getting more interested now that they're revealing how these people came to be dolls though. I wonder if the smarmy no one says no to me guy was a plant -- based on the killer black guy from the chemical ep, who btw bore an unsettling resemblance to Faith's former squeeze on Buffy, I expected that each of these people did something awful and can't live with themselves. Sierra getting sold into mind-wipe slavery? Not something in line with this. The Ballard thing is kind of tiresome. How many series have had a crusading outsider trying to bring down the conspiracy blah blah blah and done it better? Alias for one. Plus Caroline seems like a tiresome shrew. Who probably got her boyfriend killed. Oh well, I'll continue to watch. Sarah Connor went from being meh to being awesome so maybe Dollhouse can, too.

Let's hit the good news first. Airlock Alpha has learned that Fox is looking to give its struggling "Dollhouse" a second season, to see if it can grow some legs on a new night. Fox had originally intended "Dollhouse" to air Mondays with "24," but Fox instead decided to move "House" to that spot to replace "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," and to create sort of a genre theme night on Fridays. The audience for "Dollhouse" are not exactly where Fox had hoped they would be, however, critical reaction to later episodes following its February premiere has grown more positive toward the series as it has had the chance to flesh itself out. Showrunner Joss Whedon had said ahead of its premiere that he had gone back to retool certain aspects of the show, including using a new premiere episode than what was originally planned, eventually canning what would have been the premiere. The move seems to be an easy one for Fox. While the audience hasn't been as large as expected, it has instead remained stable. It's not a number that Fox uses, but "Dollhouse" carries a BlipNetwork Stability Index Rating of 92.0, better than every other network genre show currently on television outside of "Reaper" on The CW, which has a 94.7. A Stability Index Rating is the comparison of the show's highest overnight rating and its average overnight rating to see how much of its overall audience a show has retained. Other factors in favor of the show continuing is that it's not as expensive as other Fox shows. Much of its upfront costs, including the construction of the elaborate set that is the dollhouse itself, were covered by funds that normally would've paid for a pilot (no pilot was made for "Dollhouse"). Also, while Whedon's Mutant Enemy Productions and star Eliza Dushku's Boston Diva Productions are tied to the series, 20th Century Fox Television is still the primary production company involved, which means its licensing fee is not as steep as it would be if the show was produced by another studio. That, along with ratings, is one of the aspects killing "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." That show is set to end its second season April 10 after a 22-episode run, but its sophomore season has been nothing but a complete struggle. After a so-so debut on Mondays and never finding its grip after that with audiences, Fox teetered on canceling the show until surprisingly deciding to give it a full-season pickup and moving it to Fridays as a lead-in to "Dollhouse." Rumors were that Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show, slashed its licensing fee to prompt a pickup as a way to help it promote its upcoming "Terminator: Salvation," which premieres May 21. Once "Salvation" premieres, it seems Warner Bros. will have little use to keep "Sarah Connor" on the air, and likely will not continue to provide a licensing fee discount for a third season. That almost assuredly will allow Fox to make the move it normally would've done before New Year's, and that's cancel the show. Last year, "Sarah Connor" had the worst Stability Index Rating of all network genre shows, mostly from its inflated series premiere following the National Football League playoffs. This year, it's Stability Index Rating is stronger, but out of 14 network genre show tracked by Airlock Alpha this season, "Sarah Connor" is ranked 13th. Only "Life On Mars" had a worse Stability Index Rating, mostly from its freefall following its move from Thursdays against "Eleventh Hour" to Wednesdays following "Lost." Of course, none of this has been confirmed by Fox, so it should be treated as any rumor would, meaning information can change, or could even be wrong. "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox. "Dollhouse" airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
