Well, Michael Ausiello over at EW is reporting that Sara Connor will most likely be terminated.

"It's done," maintains a source close to the show. "Everyone has pretty much known for a couple of weeks." Adds a network insider: "Consider it canceled."

May 18th is set as the official announcement date for FOX's fall schedule. Dollhouse's fate will be determined by then as well--if not sooner.

Don't believe it until you see it. That guy isn't always right altough he does have good source info. Fox may drop it but soeone else might pick it up, like Sci Fi.

According to an interview with Brian Austin Green, done after the season finale, no one knows what is happening, not even the creator. Well, at least he's not telling. Green is contracted for a third season as are all the main actors. He did a pilot as a backup plan but his contract for the new TV show is only a go if TSCC is cancelled. He knew when he was killed off that he was coming back for the last episode. The creator told them all his plans for season three and they are all very excited and hope Fox doesn't cancel them. Here's the link for his interview.

Well aren't we all wobbly-headed surprise?

"I think we lost our fuzzy dice back there."
"Going for a ride."

There are comments to his article by at least two people that say that decision is not final. One is from someone who read a Twitter feed by one of the show's writers and another who has a friend just hired as a production assistant.

I won't be surprised if the news is correct, but I am not spreading the news about cancellation until I hear it directly from FOX at the up-fronts next month.

Wow. Surprise. A sci fi show, on Fox, on Friday nights getting cancelled. So hard to believe.

Guess the execs (read CHIMPS) over at the hated Fox just never learn.

Well, the ratings were already nosediving before they moved it to Friday.

Honestly I think their actions are completely justified. The show has not been getting good ratings. The plot can be summed up as "stall because we have no place to go". They were handcuffed by the concept to begin with. They have 3 main characters who pretty much can't die or it will kill the series. They have killing machines that have turned into the bumbling droid army from star wars because they can't let them actually kill the connors. They can't really stop sky net because the movie franchise relies on it. They are left with "wave your arms...maybe do some interpretive dance but just don't make the show go anywhere".

If I was an exec I wouldn't have given it this long before I axed it. The only thing that I might look at as a wild card is the success of T4. If does crazy well at the box office I might want to try to piggy back on that success with TSCC. I'm just not sure if they have the time to wait for the box office results.

I guess the network wonks didn't see Summer unbutton her shirt in the finale.

I guess they also didn't see her remove her black bra and lay down on the bed.

I guess they didn't hear her ask John to get on top of her.

I guess they didn't hear her say to John to put his hand inside of her.


Well I surely didn't miss all that, and I didn't hallucinate it either. It really happened, and I'll never be quite the same because of it.
