Question: Don't you think a select few have no idea what they are talking about when they say 24 has jumped the shark for killing Tony? They believe it's just a simple cheap stunt by the writers, who should be ashamed of themselves. I, on the other hand, congratulate the writers for making such a risky and bold move. If Tony were to survive, would we see a combination of Season 3 and 4 again on Tony's part, teaming up with Jack and whipping some terrorist butt? Personally, I think that would be completely repetitive and not worth seeing yet again. His character did run its course and they made his death not a cheap stunt, but one with an emotional impact that we haven't seen since Teri Bauer died. This is great because Henderson will be the next Nina Myers, which the show has really lacked. If I read correctly, Carlos Bernard believes he would rather have character evolution and a lack of job security than keep playing the same type of character over and over. What do you think?

"Reckoning," the 100th episode of WB's Smallville (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET) lived up to the hype with the heroic, if not altogether unexpected, death of Jonathan Kent, who perished doing what he's done for much of the show's run: protecting adopted son Clark's secret.

Question: Sir, could you please tell me who the main stars were on Wagon Train? Thank you.
Answer: Thanks for the respect, Teri (I get so little), but as the old boot-camp admonishment goes, don't call me "sir" — I work for a living!
There are a few answers to that question, the first being the cast list (which I'll run down in a moment) and the second being a list of guest stars, since episodes revolved around one-shot characters who came and went. But any fan of the show would whittle it down to one actor: the opinionated, tough-as-leather Ward Bond.
In the series, which ran on NBC from 1957-62 before jumping to ABC and finishing out its run there in 1965, Bond played Major Seth Adams, who led the train each season from St. Louis to California with assistant wagon master Bill Hawks (Terry Wilson) and cook Charlie Wooster (Frank McGrath) by h
