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.
Is this a "we've secretly switched X for Greg Germann - let's see if anyone notices" or does he leave the show as a plot point?
No, the new guy is a different character. The press kit didn't include the second ep, so I don't know exactly how Germann gets fired.

Well, nuts. I like Germann.
Me too, much better than the new guy. I think he was far more interesting.
But on the up side, the writing for the rest of the cast improves drastically once the show moves beyond Pilot Expositionspeak.
That's too bad about Germann. I like him.
From the previews, it looked like the ex-husband could have been Mark (McSteamy) from GA. Is it the same actor?
I have no idea, I've never seen GA.
I did some investigating-- it's not.
Oh well.
