Okay, I'm finally back from the New York Comic-Con and I still smell like the Javits Convention Center. Fandom seeps into the deepest layers of one's skin and take at least a few weeks to wash out. It's a scientific fact.
The first panel I attended wasn't even TV-related. Worrying that the
Battlestar Galactica room would fill before I could even step into the line, I sat through the preceding panel for
Wall-E and
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian to guarantee a seat. As it turns out, the theater is absolutely huge and two big screens were on either side of the stage, so my worry was kind of pointless. I was reminded of what I already knew:
Wall-E looks insanely cute,
Chronicles of Narnia has a greasy-haired new guy and the Jesus lion again. However, this is when I began to play a game that lasted throughout the entire weekend: Analyze the differing levels of scary devotion throughout various fanbases!

Since it looks like
Bionic Woman is not coming back to NBC, although nothing's been confirmed, the executive producer is moving on.
David Eick is writing a pilot based on the Alfonso Cuarón film Children of Men for SciFi.
The film, brilliantly directed by the Mexican filmmaker, was a grim tale about the future -- England in 2027 -- where women have become completely infertile and the human race faces a major crises with less than a century to survive.

A few weeks ago we reported that a fifth season of Stargate Atlantis would be airing on the SciFi network sometime in the fall, just as the fourth season did back in 2007. Well, it now seems like the premiere of the new season will be moving up a couple of months.
A number of online resources, including Gateworld, TV Guide, and the personal blog of Atlantis executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, are reporting that the show will be premiering in July. "The decision on the Season Five premiere date rests with SCI FI," Mallozzi writes in his blog, "However, I'm hopeful that fans won't have to wait until the fall to see the resolution of our Season Four cliffhanger."

Mysterious. Mesmerizing. Interesting. Dynamic. Compelling. Any and all of these words accurately describe actress Michelle Forbes. She is one of the finest actresses in television, and yet she has maintained a distinct quality that makes her as elusive a performer to come around since Garbo! Intensely private, there's not much known about the Austin, Texas native. (However, I can tell you that she collects clocks -- broken clocks. As she told me, quoting the movie
Withnail and I, "Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.")
She's currently making HBO's new drama
In Treatment appointment TV, drawing her loyal following to find her latest work as she did in
24, Prison Break, Homicide and
Battlestar Galactica. And that doesn't even take into account the millions who first discovered this chameleon when she first burst onto the scene in
Guiding Light, and then
Star Trek: The Next Generation.

And it's Michael Trucco (
Battlestar Galactica). Once this pesky strike gets over with,
NBC will start production on its new comedy
The Man of Your Dreams, starring the aforementioned Trucco as Larry, a womanizing man who uses the knowledge he's gained to help romantically troubled women. He is joined by Constance Zimmer (
Boston Legal) as his sister, who is a single mother running a wedding-planning business. Her business partner is played by Justina Machada (
Six Feet Under). Christina Chang (
CSI: Miami) is a proud gold-digger while RonReaco Lee (
Committed) plays a
Star Wars "buff," who is Larry's protégé.

Every week, TV Squad offers you a crop of the latest TV spoilers via the
Spoilers Anonymous feature. Even if a lot of shows and fans dislike spoilers, no one can argue when I say that spoilers have a definitive
impact on the TV world. When a bombshell such as the
Lost fast forward gets leaked, a buzz is generated: people talk about the show and the validity of the spoiler at the watercooler, on boards or in blogs. Spoilers give you a glimpse of what's to come, allow you to come up with your own theories, get you excited about an upcoming episode or turn of events, etc. Here is a list of the best and/or most talked about spoilers released in 2007 via
Spoilers Anonymous or special spoilers articles here at TV Squad.

What are you going to do? The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and even new shows like Pushing Daisies and Chuck are either out of fresh episodes or quickly running out. Well, you don't need to spend the "strike season" curled up in the corner of your bedroom crying through a pile of TV Guides, remembering the good old days when you didn't already know what was going to happen this week on House.
Television is alive and well, and even growing ... just somewhere else. Want to know what happened to Jack Bauer before Season One of 24? How about Buffy and the Scooby Gang after the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? More and more shows are expanding their horizons by telling prequels, sequels and even in-between-quels in comic books, or graphic novels.

I've got plenty to be thankful for in my life, but -- pffft! -- y'all don't care to hear about that! This is TV Squad after all, so let's get down to what I'm thankful for when it comes to all-things television:
Damages getting uber-renewed As the first season of
Damages ticked down toward its finale, I wasn't the only one afraid that F/X was being quiet about the show's renewal status. It wasn't until recently that we were blessed with the news of
not only one new season, but two! Many of us fans have already gone into speculating what the major plot will be for the second season, but to now wrap our minds around a third ... wow.
The Shield having all remaining episodes in the can The
WGA strike is obviously going to be a huge downer for TV watchers everywhere, if it hasn't been already.
Some shows will take months to reappear, possibly if at all! Thankfully one of my beloved shows,
The Shield, apparently won't be affected by the strike, as it has its final season all wrapped up for us like a fat present under the tree (even if it does air in the spring).

'Tis the season to be thankful and, more particularly, to perform an inventory of what we are thankful for. The list can be a bit overwhelming, so I'm happy to parse it down to what I am thankful about television-- and not just what's on the air now (which is fortunate, considering the current WGA strike).

I can't remember when I have enjoyed a research project more. We have an opportunity to create our own lists of the hottest guys on TV today, and let me tell you: It was not easy. We originally had 30 men on our list (thirty-one if you count our top guy, but you'll have to
click to Kristin's post to find out where to see who he is!), but we were asked to pare them down to ... three apiece?!
Here are my three. Well, I suppose you get a big clue as to one of them right here and now, but I couldn't resist putting up this photo. Yum! You will notice that my tastes don't run strictly to candy: I have someone who is not quite human; a self-admitted asshole; and an arrogant coward. Come to think about it, you could apply these descriptions to all three of my guys, but I love 'em anyway!

PC Magazine has listed their top 10 favorite geeky TV shows. As someone who likes geeky TV, I'm quite surprised that I regularly watch only two of the programs they've listed.
I try to catch Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica whenever there's a new episode (numbers 2 and 8 on the list, respectively). I do also try to catch Heroes when I can, but sometimes I just miss it due to my busy schedule (I must invest in a digital recorder one of these days).

Good news everyone. TV Squad reader Kim points us to a
myspace entry from Mark Sheppard revealing that he has just been added to the cast of
Bionic Woman, as a series regular. I say it's good news because Sheppard is one of those actors that has been great in short lived roles on a number of shows, but never had that one big role. This has the potential to be his breakout.
Many people will recognize him from his role as Badger on
Firefly, or his recent run on
Battlestar Galactica as Romo Lampkin. In case you missed it though, one of my favorite Sheppard characters is his semi-recurring gig (one episode each season) on
Medium as Dr. Charles Walker/Jack Walker. He also had a nice six episode run on day 5 of
24. Along with those more notable roles, his credits include one or two episode stints on another 20-odd shows. With this news,
The Bionic Woman has vaulted to the top of my must-see list for the fall.

Need a Cylon fix? I sure as hell do.
Sci Fi will air a preview of the
Battlestar Galactica movie tonight during the season premiere of
Eureka. The movie, called
Razor, is meant to be independent of the just-finished third and upcoming fourth seasons. It tells the story of the Battlestar Pegasus several months before it found the Galactica.
Razor is a two-hour movie that will immediately go to DVD once it airs on Sci Fi in November.
Eureka premieres at 9 pm tonight on Sci Fi.
[Thanks, Ian!]
