Always interesting that the people over at TVBYTHENUMBERS dig up this stuff, but apparently their latest discovery is that 'Dollhouse' may only air 12 episodes this season finishing with 'Omega' instead the of 13 with 'Epitaph One' as originally planned.
Robert Seidman writes, "the May schedule information only goes through May Sweeps which end on Thursday May 20, 2009, so I’m not sure what the schedule for beyond that looks like, but for now it looks like they only plan to air 12 episodes of Dollhouse with the season finale on May 8th."
Hmmm...is FOX pulling another 'Firefly' and saving (if one can even call it that) the episode for the 'Dollhouse' DVD?

It's not hard to dig up stuff that was announced in a press release by Fox PR. ;)

FOX isn't pulling another Firelfy. They have been very supportive of this show, especially since the ratings have been far worse then Firefly.

Best scenario I can think of is Fox wants to end this season with a cliff hanger and they're saving the final episode, which in theory would resolve the Alpha story arc, for the first ep of season two. Not sure how likely that is or if the episode structures even support that possibility but it's all I've got.

If I read it correctly Prison Break's series final is the 15th, they did'nt say the 12th episode of Dollhouse was it's series final. Maybe the 13th will air on the 22nd?

Sounds like the end. If the series was coming back, they wouldn't pull the season finale. They would, however, if it gives them a blurb for the DVD box: "Including unaired episode!"

They keep calling it "season" final, not "series" final.

Lots of cancelled shows do.

No one really knows for sure until Upfront Week, which is in late May, after Sweeps.
I guess all we can do is wait. The episode, 'Epitaph One,' will definitely be on the DVD, but might not air because it was the original pilot for 'Dollhouse' and not a continuing episode in the series.
I'm somewhat bummed since the episode stars Dr. Horrible's Felicia Day and we won't be able to see her till the DVD.

Original pilot? Then where did these other 12 episodes come from?
