Gina Torres is playing Ronan's dead wife on SGA this season. Don't know how big a part it is - not very, I'm guessing because the wife is dead and because GT has a regular role on one of Fox's new shows.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Whoa, we were just speculating (unspoiled) about her as a possibility over on TwoP. I have to say though, casting Gina makes me really skeptical about Ronon being the one to survive the Wraith attack.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, give Gina some credit for being able to act, now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh, she's got more acting talent than the entire regular cast combined. But I've never seen her in anything where she wasn't kickass capable—not sure if I'll be able to get past that regardless of how she plays the part.

Matrix Reloaded?
And her new fall pilot, sadly. She plays a cop, but she's one of the least effective cops I've ever seen on TV. She caves to the male lead on every case.

I've seen her be "normal" in 24, the Matrix sequels, and I think The Guardian, although I'm not sure. Some series I don't really watch.

Oh, I'd forgotten that I saw her in the Matrix sequels. I think those scenes must have been accidentally repressed in my memory along with the 25 minute slo-mo the-machines-are-coming-to-kill-us-but-that-won't-stop-the-rave-we-had-planned sequence.

The rest of that Smallville spoiler:
Yours truly just received a truly Super tip that's so good I'm not waiting for tomorrow's Ask Ausiello to report it. Aaron Ashmore — aka Veronica Mars' former beau, Troy Vandegraff — has been cast as Jimmy Olsen on Smallville! Amazing, right? Well, the news gets better. My Super mole confirms that Jimmy is being groomed as a love interest for Chloe! I've got another eather-shattering Smallville scoop, but that one I am saving for AA. (Hint: It's really good.)
So, predictable. (Well, I may only think so because they've been speculating about Jimmy/Chloe for weeks at the TWOP Smallville spoilers thread.)

I forgot to mention it before, but Greg Germann leaves Eureka after the pilot. He gets replaced by a younger model, the better to be the third prong in a love triangle between Colin and the DOD woman whose name I can't remember because I didn't have time to rewatch last night. The new character is her ex-husband.
