There's a supposedly new X-Files international poster circulating. Could be real or could be fake (Duchovny's head looks messed up). Still, it's pretty cool.

Lex Luthor Leaves Smallville

Announced a year ago, Michael Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor for seven seasons on Smallville has finally left the series. Here is a letter from him to the fans.

"Dear Smallville Fans,

Well, it's been seven wonderful years. Your support is what has made Smallville so successful, and I appreciate you all more than you know.

That being said, it is time for me to start the next chapter of my life and career. I hope that I gave you some enjoyment over the years, and that you found my portrayal of Lex Luthor to be satisfying. I am truly grateful, as Smallville fans are the best fans out there. I sincerely hope that you will continue to follow my career through my hair growth period and beyond.

I'm very excited about what the future holds, but certainly, Smallville will always be a part of me. I will definitely miss the greatest crew in the world, and the wonderful cast that has been like a family to me.

Thank you Al and Miles for creating the show. Thank you writers, producers, directors and editors. Thanks Tollin, Robbins and Davola for being there for the pilot. Thank you Peter Roth for employing me for ten years. Lisa Lewis, I miss you already. John Glover, thanks for helping me feel more comfortable touching other actors, while acting. Bizarre, but helpful.

Mostly, I want to thank Greg Beeman for directing the "Oh Sherry" video, by Steve Perry, back in the '80s.
Thanks crew. Thanks fans. Thanks Smallville.

I love you all,

Michael Rosenbaum"

That's just really cool of him. While Lex is nearly impossible to replace and certainly in any series where the ultimate bad guy goes, the series usually follow soon after. CW did drop a couple of hints along with Rosenbaum's announcement as to what villians might take his place.

"Doomsday: In season eight, Clark will face his ultimate challenge with the appearance of the legendary, unstoppable destroyer Doomsday, who appears on Smallville for the first time. As comic book fans know, Doomsday is notorious for being the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed Superman.

Female villain: Doomsday won't be Clark's only nemesis in the upcoming season. The executive producers are tight-lipped about a new female villain they will be introducing, but they can say she will be familiar to many fans and will set her sights on Clark in ways Lex never could. Intelligent, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously sinister, our gorgeous new villain has one more weapon in her arsenal: Her mutual attraction with Clark may prove to be as deadly as kryptonite for him."

So interesting times ahead for Smallville. Seven season is a long run for a series like this. The eighth might be the last. Clark Kent, after all, disappears for several years after Smallville and comes back as Superman.

Yo! GI Joe!

GI Joe was a regular staple during my younger years in those long and grueling hours of after school cartoon vegetation sessions. Since it's a slow news day, why not we all relive those glorious years of day saving action?

Whoa! I see that our American heroes have all grown up.

Check out the man-proof body armor.


Is that a thong?


Naruto and Sakura would be jealous.


Chest out. Stomach in. Butt out.


Hasbro definitely needs to make life-size versions of their GI Joe dolls for the big kids when the movie premiers.

I want to believe in X-Files too

The X-Files 2 marketing machine is revving up and EW.COM has a very informative article that gave me a bit more reason to believe in X-Files 2 as being the real deal after all these years.



While info on the movie's plot is difficult to come by, the article did drop a bit of info as to what we might expect, including the whereabout of Mulder and Scully's love child, William. Also certain, we'll definitely be seeing some X-Files alums.

Go and check out the full Entertainment Weekly article.

And if you can't wait for the official release of the trailer, you can view the leaked trailer from Wonder Con.

Comcast to Save Jericho?

Comcast to raise Jericho from more radioactive ashes? Big maybe, according to the New York Times. Apparently, talks are underway between CBS Paramount and Comcast for exclusive rights to broadcast the series on Comcast's cable network.

With roughly 24 million subscribers, that's a hefty sized possible audience for the post apocalyptic series, which no doubts already have some very loyal fans in its midst.

While still unofficial, CBS certainly has really nothing to lose if the money continues to flow.

Sarah Connor is Back!

Looks like we'll be seeing more Summer goodness. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is officially back for a second season after the cast and crew was informed of the renewal Saturday night.

While not a stellar performer in the ratings department, the show did end up being one of Fox's strongest new drama for the season. Some fans attribute the boost in the series' rating was due to the introduction of Resistance fighter, Derek Thomas Reese, played by 90210 alumni, Brian Austin Green.

It looks like Fox is doing something right with the fans for a change.

You'll love this. The ever radiant Amy Acker from Joss Whedon's Angel is joining his Dollhouse. How's that for girlicious?

Word is too that table read for the series started today for the cast. Joss writes, "All in all, pound for pound, soup to nuts, man vs. beast, it's a pretty amazing ensemble. I'm not sure how I landed this troupe, but rest assured I'm gonna write bestest good word for talkacting to them yes! They're in good hands."

I was never one for playing with dolls much, but it's not too late to start. Can't wait.

Jericho nuked

Tons after tons of peanuts later (40,000 pounds to be exact), Jericho finally got nuked. Despite efforts to keep it alive after being put on hiatus at the end of the first season, ending with a dismal average rating of 10.5 million viewers. The series ultimately kept dropping to an average of 6 million viewers after being revived for a second season. Last episode airs March 25th--up against American Idol. It's not a pretty sight.
