There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is we have a first look video for this week’s episode of Supernatural called “Abandon All Hope. ” There’s more good news in that it stars Mark Sheppard as the deliciously evil Crowley. That’s not Mark in the photo there. He wasn’t in any of the promo photos for this episode but Dean’s looking right at him, so that’s something. . . huh?
You may know Mark from his recurring role as Sterling, Nate’s biggest foil on Leverage, which is already a six-degrees-of-Supernatural because of Aldis Hodge and Chris Kane. Mark …read more

First up it’s Tricia Helfer on the November 16th episode of Two and a Half Men.

There are plenty of people out there who have nothing but bad things to say about fans and fandom. Me? I say, fans know how to get things done. Their charity efforts are some of the best on the planet and to prove it, I’m going to ask you to do something simple.
This is for the Battlestar Galactica fans. We want you to fight for humanity by sponsoring Katee Sackhoff and her team, The Frak Up, as they take part in AIDS WALK L.A. on October 18
It’s so frakkin’ simple, any nugget could do it…

It’s time for the Scream Awards and several of our favorite sci-fi and paranormal shows have made the grade. Not our FAVORITE show, but we’ll forgive them since they did nominate Jensen Ackles’ My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Jared Padalecki’s Friday the 13th for Best Horror Movie. Jamie King was nominated for MBV 3-D but neither of the boys made the best actor cut. (I’m digging on that great Spanish poster with an actual cast photo on it! )
J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie got the most nominations, 17 in all including The Ultimate Scream, Best Science Fiction Movie, Best Director, …read more

Entertainment Weekly and Syfy teamed up this year for a glitzy party to celebrate all things Comic Con. The event took place at the Hotel Solamar in San Diego and some of our favorite stars were in attendance. Have a look:
Supernatural’s Adrianne Palicki came by as did Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries.

Fringe’s Anna Torv and Mark Valley stopped by as did Battlestar Galactica’s Grace Park and Tahmoh Penikett now of Dollhouse.

From our friends at Attack of the Show; Edward James Olmos sits down with Kevin Pereira with a great story about how the Battlestar Galactica cast’s visit to the UN inspired the organization to change its constitution:

Look at this duo! There’s something about this pairing that makes me think we’re in for a wild ride. That’s Saul Rubinek, the curator of Warehouse 13 and with him is the charming Allison Scagliotti. She’ll be joining the cast in a few weeks.
Before that, we’ve got Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer guesting in tomorrow night’s episode about a band of bank robbers who don’t need guns to subdue a crowd.
For you Joe Flanigan fans, the former Stargate Atlantis star will appear in the August 4 episode “Elements” along with one of my other favorite actors, James Naughton.
Warehouse 13 airs Tuesdays …read more
