*snorks* The girl playing “Buffy” in an episode of Smallville was Rachel on Animorphs. And looking back at Shawn Ashmore’s credentials (Jake on Animorphs), I’m reminded that he was also on Smallville, playing “Eric Summers”. Mmm, irony! (But where, dear IMDB, is the mention of Shawn’s stint on Veronica Mars? Did I just hallucinate all those episodes? *surfs around* Holy cow, he has a twin brother!)

Anyway, I love the endearing idiocy of Smallville. It’s so so very painfully bad, and that makes it special.

Firefly fans: Check out Session 416. Morbid and creepifying. To quote Beth, “Universal’s marketing campaign just got a LOT more interesting.”

Spoilerphobes need not worry. It’s not from the movie. Those that have seen Serenity are just as creeped out as you. Though you might want to tread lightly in the discussion on Whedonesque.

The first chapter of the Serenity novelization has been posted. Spoiler free — it’s backstory for the uninitiated, essentially the battle scene and “deleted scene” from the episode “Serenity”.

Meanwhile, Zoe Alleyne? Why have I never heard that name mentioned? I thought her maiden name was supposed to be Warren… Also, this is the first time I’ve seen her name spelled quasi-canonically with the umlaut.

Yesssss! Pterry is coming to Philly! And like last time, he’s touring before the book he’s promoting actually comes out! He’ll be at the Borders at 1 S. Broad Street on Wednesday, Sept 14, at 7PM. See the rest of his US tour dates here!

Lookit all the pretties! Two new promo shots of the Serenity cast, one from Entertainment Weekly and the other from sources unknown! Haha, Ron is adorable.

And check out some of the Lost German trailer links!
