Jason is off this week. Apparently, the Wisconsin Towing Association is having their annual convention in Wisconsin Dells. And if we know one thing about Jason here at CliqueClack, it’s that he loves the tow trucks. It’s crazy. That didn’t stop the news from happening, though, so here’s a quick rundown of some of the interesting stories from the week just passed.
There was more casting news for Heroes. Battlestar‘s Rick Worthy (Simon) will be joining the show as Parkman’s new partner. Worthy is cool, but unfortunately, that means Matt isn’t dead, and Heroes is adding more characters to the cast. Did you not get the memo, Mr. Kring? Also interesting, Mo Ryan says there won’t be a Heroes panel at Comic-Con. Man, from the penthouse to getting your ass kicked by House.
Kristen over at E! has some rumors about who might be returning to the island on Lost. Personally, I’m hoping for Niki and Paolo, just to see the reaction. Twitter was in its infancy the first time, and I feel like an opportunity was missed.
Bullz-eye has a very candid interview with Bret Harrison and Tyler Labine about the future, or lack thereof, for Reaper. By candid, I mean… Tyler Labine: “I was not happy with the storyline with me trying to fuck my stepsister.”
It looks like casting news for Grey’s Anatomy has totally spoiled the big cliffhanger at the end of last season. So, don’t click that link unless you really want to know a character’s fate. Or, this one.
The season two premiere of True Blood was huge for HBO, marking their largest audience since the Sopranos finale. It was also up some 157% over the season one premiere. To paraphrase Mars Blackman, “Money, it’s gotta be the boobs.”
NBC continues to insist that Conan’s demo numbers are fantastic, and they couldn’t be happier with their decision. Of course, they forget to mention that last week was the least watched week of the show since 1995. Jay Leno probably just laughs, and laughs. James Hibberd has all the numbers, with charts!
USA stepped in it this week. After releasing a very official looking press release saying that Donald Trump had purchased WWE Monday Night Raw, the truth came out. It was all a part of the ongoing story on the show. Some people were not amused.
Finally, FOX released a 12 minute preview of Virtuality. Reactions have been mixed in the backchannel here at CliqueClack, but have a look for yourself. The 12 minute preview is embedded below, and there are 9 more videos available at Movieweb.
