Supernatural Extended Preview for New Season

www.thedeadbolt.com: Supernatural returns to The CW airwaves on September 24 when the saga of the Winchester brothers continues. Ahead of the new season of Supernatural, The CW recently released a new extended preview that shows the start of the end of the world and the trigger of a new battle for Sam and Dean.

Torchwood Season 4 details: alien sex a possibility

sciencefictionworld.com: When Torchwood Season 4 airs next year on Starz, the American cable channel, it will be set in the US rather than Wales and will run for ten jam packed episodes, according to its creator.

“America is the heartland of the story,” said Russell T. Davies. “The story moves city in the US, so we have some scenes in Washington, we have some scenes in LA. It’s a very, very fast-paced storyline, with a lot of movement. Our intention is absolutely to base ourselves here and work with the best crews and the best actors.”

Entitled Torchwood: The New World, Davies told the Television Critics Association that Season 4 would be far more involved than simply the appearance of an alien monster. It also won’t follow on directly from Season 3′s downbeat ending.

“…That’s why you end those shows on that note, because they’re ending. We’d never start The New World that way… He [Captain Jack] was left very dispirited and almost defeated at the end of the last series, which we acknowledge and we deal with in a language that will both satisfy old fans and also will move forward into the future.”

The ‘Vampire Diaries’ Season 2 Trailer Is Here

www.celebuzz.com: Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and the rest of the sexy suckers from The Vampire Diaries return to the little screen on September 9, and to prepare everybody for the vampy thrills and chills, CW has released a little teaser for the season of awesomeness to come. Looks like viewers will have more than their share of romantic intrigue, suspense and epic catfghts to look forward to.

Lionel Luthor Is Returning to Smallville!

screencrave.com: We know what you’re thinking. If there’s one Luthor you’d love to see return to “Smallville” it would be Lex, but at the moment the closest thing we have is his dad. According to EW, John Glover will reprise his role as Lionel Luthor during the tenth and final season of the show. Like several other defunct cast-members, he supposedly bit the dust a few seasons ago, so how will he contact Clark from the grave?

According to the site’s sources, Glover has signed on to appear in multiple episodes for his return stint as Lionel. The last time we saw him on the show was in season 8 via archival footage, and prior to that in season 7 when he was pushed out of a window to his death — at the hand of his own son! Glover is booked for a minimum of two episodes both of which are expected to air in November.

Wow, all of these sneak picks and trailers are amazing! I can’t wait for the new seasons to get here. Evil Sam, Evil Katherine, more Smallville villains on their way, it makes it more thrilling. Not to mention that Smallville comes to an end, being a comic fan and even thought it had some character changes I really liked it and it brought some of my favorite character to life. I’m gonna miss it.I really hope Lex comes back, even for a glimpse

I don’t know what to say about Katherine, she’s boring me. Couldn’t she stay “dead”? Leave my poor Damon alone

What do you think of the new seasons? Which one are you waiting to see?

Who Should Replace Smallville‘s Superman On The CW?

With Smallville ending this year, the CW is actively looking for a replacement superhero series from DC Entertainment. But does Blue Beetle really have it in the bag?

CW boss Dawn Osteroff has admitted that she’d love to have another DC Comics’ super character to fill Clark Kent’s decade-old boots when Smallville finishes, telling reporters:

So many fans have said, ‘Don’t leave us hanging!’ I’d love to say, ‘“Smallville’s” coming off the air and something else (from DC Comics) is coming on.’ But we don’t want to put something on that we don’t believe in. You have to make sure the execution is excellent.

Alexander Skarsgård interview: True Blood lust

I ask him how such an impulsive, emotional person came to be known for playing two characters who are so outwardly cool as Brad Colbert and Eric Northman.

‘I can definitely relate to them,’ he says. ‘But I’m different in real life. They’re subdued and calm, I’m more playful. I’m pretty intense when it comes to relationships, platonic ones as well. If I feel a connection with someone, I’m willing to go there.’

Is he attracted to extreme situations? ‘Sometimes, yeah, but I also know I have to be careful because there is something destructive within me, I think, and I can have a tendency to just search for the kicks. I can’t really get too close to someone who’s too destructive, or too dark, because then I might go down the rabbit hole myself.’ It wasn’t long, though, before he decided to try his luck down perhaps the biggest rabbit hole of them all, and flew out to Hollywood in 2004. ‘The industry is very small in Sweden,’ he says. ‘There are a lot of great young filmmakers coming up now but 10 years ago it was very different. I was fortunate enough to be working, but when I was 28 or 29 and the offers were still “college guy, misunderstood, wants the girl”, I just needed something different.’

The Vampire Diaries clips and leaking info have me very interested in the next season. I can’t believe it’s less than a month away.

I really enjoyed reading more about Alexander Skarsgard’s home life and family.

Nikita Comic Con CW Video

By Clarissa at TV Overmind

When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who faked her execution and told her she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country. What they didn’t tell her was that she was being trained as a spy and assassin. Ultimately, Nikita was betrayed and her dreams shattered by the only people she thought she could trust. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former bosses that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation.

The CW put together a video with footage from the WB booth and the Nikita panel at Comic Con. Nikita will premiere on Thursday, September 9 at 9:00 p.m. (following the premiere of the Vampire Diaries).

‘The Vampire Diaries’ Michael Trevino on Tyler’s rage, Uncle Mason, and nudity. Yes, nudity.

By Carina Adly MacKenzie at Zap2It

Where there are vampires, werewolves are rarely far behind, and “The Vampire Diaries” is no exception. When Zap2it got an exclusive sneak peek on location of Season 2 in Atlanta, I had the chance to take a little stroll around the Lockwood Mansion with Michael Trevino, the man behind Mystic Falls’ newest lycanthrope.

Trevino’s character, Tyler, is not only dealing with some animal instincts, but he’s grieving the death of his dad (and the town “alpha-douche”), Mayor Lockwood. “It’s just adding another layer to the top of his inner rage,” Trevino explains.

NBC Buys ‘Zombies Vs. Vampires’ Spec

By Nellie Andreeva at Deadline

NBC has closed a deal for Zombies vs. Vampires, a spec script by Jake in Progress creator/executive producer Austin Winsberg. I hear NBC bought preemptively the project, produced by Warner Bros. TV and McG’s studio-based Wonderland production banner. Zombies vs. Vampires is described as a “fun buddy cop procedural.”

It is set in a world where zombies are a part of society, controllable with medication. The show’s two leads (one secretly a vampire) are cops assigned to a squad specifically formed to deal with “zombie crime”. Winsberg, McG and Peter Johnson are executive producing.

Zombie Penny or Robot Penny: How can Felicia Day return in Dr. Horrible 2?

By Charlie Jane Anders at io9

When we got a moment to talk to Felicia Day at SDCC, she was full of excitement for the possibilities of bringing back Penny, Dr. Horrible’s tragic love interest. We suggested Zombie Penny, but she was more into Robot Penny.

“Okay, Zombie Penny. I like that one. I get a lot of pitches. I personally am a fan of Robot Penny, because I think that would be a cool make-up design, making me into a robot. I mean who knows? I’d probably still be dead in the ground. But probability is hopefully more than zero that I would be appearing in it.”

I think Robot Penny makes more sense: Dr. Horrible could build her out of grief! I’m interested in Nikita, and since I’ll be watching Vampire Diaries anyway I’ll have to check it out.

Stargate Universe Season 2 Will be Tougher, Darker, More Depressing

By Nix at Sci Fi Cool

As if being forced to sit through a single episode’s worth of storyline stretched out unmercifully into three draaaaaaaaaagging episodes, as well as a season ending cliffhanger wasn’t “tough”, “dark”, and “depressing” enough, the “Stargate: Universe” producers are promising even harder times for our stranded heroes in the show’s upcoming Season 2.

Cooper revealed that Everett Young, played by Louis Ferreira, will “feel some pain” in the new episodes

He explained: “After everything he’s been through – and it gets worse for him initially at the beginning of season two – it’s impossible to imagine that a person wouldn’t go to a very dark place at least for a short period of time.”

David Anders Enters ‘Warehouse 13′

By Alan Stanley Blair at Airlock Alpha

“Warehouse 13″ has quite a selection of special guest stars for its upcoming sophomore season, including a minor “Firefly” reunion, a crossover with “Eureka” and a few established faces from the science-fiction genre.

Now, the series has another name to be excited about: David Anders.

Fresh off of stints in “The Vampire Diaries” and “24″ this season, Anders has signed on for a guest role on the popular Syfy series. And, just like all his other roles, no one is really sure who he is or what side he is even batting for.

The 10 most disappointing female characters in sci-fi TV

by Sarah Jayne Brereton at Den of Geek

Surely I can get an ‘amen’ from my geek sisters when I point out that we watch sci-fi too? So, why are there so few good female characters in science fiction television?

Certainly, things have improved slightly in recent years, but for every Kara Thrace there are a slew of disappointing female characters in her wake. At best, most female characters on sci-fi shows are annoyingly stereotypical and, at worst, are introduced as pointless eye candy.

Anastasia “Dee” Dualla – Battlestar Galactica: Dualla had the potential to be such a rich and empowering character. On a show that otherwise boiled over with strong female images, from Starbuck to President Roslin, there would have been more than enough room to bring to the foreground the strong black female character that is so clearly lacking from sci-fi television. It would be refreshing to watch the development of a black female character that could be given more to do on a show than merely repeat out loud what she has heard in earphones.

LOST Analysis Whatever Happened Vs. Alternate Time Line Debate

by Christina Dagnelli at Suite101

Fans of LOST have been debating the element of time travel most of season five. Are they in an alternate time line or is this what always happened?

Since Jack started yelling “We have to go back” many have wondered why. Why go back, for what reason? There is no definitive answer to that question but there are many possibilities.

Could this be a big loopy circle-and the reason they needed to go back is because they had parts to play in Dharma 1977-because that is what always happened? Or is it, they are just on this crazy ride, they were never in 1977 originally and there is no known answer to why they have to come back.
