Todd Stashwick joins cast of Heroes

The prolific TV actor Todd Stashwick, who’s been in just about everything, will be joining the cast of Heroes this season.

His character Eli is apparently part of the Sullivan Bros. Carnival, which has been a major plot point this season, and will also have close ties to their leader Samuel (Robert Knepper).

At first my assumption [...]

Monday poll; Who deserves the chop on Heroes?

(Find out who came out on top last week when we asked “Who’s the funniest character in a drama?”)

Sometimes a show having a big, ensemble cast can work incredibly well; just look at shows like Lost, True Blood, Twin Peaks and Battlestar Galactica. By and large they succeed in giving every character their little moments [...]

New NBC projects from Bryan Fuller…

When I’d heard that Bryan Fuller was returning to Heroes, I felt a little fanboyish gurgle of delight. Maybe, just maybe Fuller could rescue the show from spiralling ever deeper into abject mediocrity. After all, Fuller was the man behind shows like Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me AND had been an executive producer of [...]

Zachary Quinto in Funny or Die video

Just came across this dark little thing. “HOSTAGE: A Love Story” stars Zachary Quinto and is about a “hostage and a hostage-taker [who] get dangerously close to one another.”

Don’t watch this at work, or in front of you mother, unless you have industrial strength “fuck”-muffling headphones on.

HOSTAGE: A Love Story with Zachary Quinto from Zachary [...]

"No, we've changed. Honestly. Really. Change. For good this time. Pinky swear!"

“They say Season 4 college is for reinventing yourself” says Noah at the start of this promo, trying to drum it home once again that Heroes is scooting back to S1 style stories and trying to move away from the convoluted shambles it became recently.

I’ll be watching, anyway. The trailer doesn’t exactly fill me with [...]

Jayma Mays returning for one-time appearance in Heroes

Sylar-induced ouchies.

Good news, folks. One of the best elements of the first season of Heroes is making a welcome return, but unfortunately just for one episode…

New Heroes S4 poster reveals nothing, fails to inspire; reflects show perfectly

I’m sorry if that comes off a little harsh. I do still watch Heroes, and occasionally see glimmers of hope, but the quality of the show has deteriorated so, so much from the almost flawless first season. The amount of incredibly schizophrenic characterisation in later seasons (with not just our heroes’ powers randomly changing to [...]

Midnight Mass to be picked up for adaptation by NBC

Midnight Mass, a DC Comics series about a husband and wife team or supernatural crime fighters, has been snapped up by NBC for adaptation into a live-action series. I’m by no means an expert on comic books, so I couldn’t tell you whether the comics themselves are particularly interesting, but the part of the story [...]

David Anders cast in recurring role on 24

You say to-may-to, I say to-mar-to.

Anders, best known as super-smooth globe-trotting terrorist Julian Sark on Alias, will now be popping up in “a handful of episodes” in the eighth season of 24, according to his representative. No details of his character have been announced yet, but Anders is the latest in a series of [...]
