James Marsters: TV Guide News

Smallville: Clark Kent’s Not-So-Wonderful Life | TV Show Previews | 5/1/2008
On Thursday's episode of Smallville (8 pm/ET, The CW), Clark Kent (Tom Welling) gets a look at what life would have been like if his rocket ship never arrived on Earth. Brainiac (James Marsters), last seen zooming away with Clark's Krypto-cousin Kara (Laura Vandervoort), is trying to set such a Kal-El-free scenario in motion. Clark, having a bit of a pity party over Lana's continued zombieness, isn't so sure that's such a bad idea. "Since the day I arrived, all I've brought is suffering and death," he says. "Meteor freaks, phantoms, Brainiac.

And their plan to consolidate power... read more
Joss Whedon, Music Man | Roush Dispatch | 3/21/2008
Joss Whedon couldn’t contain himself. So jazzed that his landmark musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was being screened at the legendary Cinerama Dome theater (site of this year’s awesome Paley Fest), he sneaked into the audience to watch one of the numbers before rejoining that old gang of his for group photos before taking the stage for a retrospective Q&A (moderated by yours truly). Like me, I think he would have rather just sat in the theater to drink it in. But there was catching up to do.I’ve finally met someone whose passion for musicals outstrips mine (if only because he’s genius enough to be able to write one). The reason Joss arrived too late to set up the screening (following my own opening remarks) was because he came straight from wrapping production of his next musical project: Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, an entirely independent made-for-Internet (but no word yet on where you’ll find it) musical-comedy, conceived... read more
