sumi, not surprising. In fact, I thought JJ was treating 5 as the last season? Also, I think I read in interviews with her that she was looking forward to being a SAHM for a bit. But I could be making up that last part.

Spoilage Lite - The Return
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
Saw a link to a completely unsubstantiated rumor, that Rachel Nichols was being groomed to take over. Although I take that with a grain of salt, considering they said the same things about Jack's young partner on 24 S3, I do think the show could survive just as well without JG as with her if they go for a S6.
ETA: Okay, after reading your scifi link, the same part of the RN rumor is there too.
Of course it's too early to tell, but I can't imagine Rachel Nichols fulfilling the spot that Jennifer Garner holds in my heart. Part of that has to do with JG has a sort of ass kickingness about her. And while she doens't do most of her stunts, she looks like she could at least hurt someone.
Balthazar Getty is joining the cast of Alias. (Some spoilers in that article.)
Kevin Smith is going to be in an episode of Veronica Mars.
I'm such a genre fangirl: my first response to that was, "but he's dead!"
Yes, I saw some Hercules & Xena vids this weekend with Kevin Smith in them...
The front page of Slashdot has an unfortunate Doctor Who casting spoiler:
"K9, Doctor Who's lovable robotic dog, is returning to the new series with a cameo in season 2."
Sean Astin and Jean Smart will be on 24 this season.
Cool!
Of course, 24 isn't starting 'til January.
This week's Ask Ausiello column on tvguide.com has a disturbing casting rumor for ER: John Leguizamo will be joining the show for at least 12 eps in a role originally slated for John Stamos.
Heaven help us. Why do I continue to watch this show?
