Gossip Girl alumni Michelle Trachtenberg reprises her role as Valkyrie in this exciting new episode of the most action-packed, family friendly series in the universe!
In pursuit of Poggle the Lesser, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli descends deep into the catacombs of Geonosis, where she uncovers an even greater threat to the galaxy in “Legacy of Terror,” an all-new episode of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, airing at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, November 20 on Cartoon Network.
Take the jump for a sneak peek of the episode.
Last week’s 27% tumble was somewhat expected for ABC’s new “V” mini-series, but the execs have to be cringing a bit this morning when the numbers came in that show the invading space alien remake took another hit, dropping an additional 18% from the previous week. This equates to an audience size of 9.3 million, which isn’t bad as it earned the show a fifth place ranking for the night.
For those wanting a comparison, “The Biggest Loser” was able to attract 9.4 million viewers for second place, while NCIS brought in 20 million viewers to take the top spot. Even with Laura Vandervoort, with these tumbling numbers, will the series make it past those shows already in the can?
The CW is joining the two part Justice Society episode into one long two hour movie called Smallville: Absolute Justice. There’s no word if the episode will sell in a hardcover slipcase with a $75 price tag, but it will feature a feathered Hawkman winging around.
Penned by comic book hero Geoff Johns, “Society” marks the arrival of Justice Society members Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Stargirl.
To accommodate the movie, Smallville: Absolute Justice has been moved from January 29 to February 5, 2010.
Marvel sent Major Spoilers a video profile of The Hulk from the Super Hero Squad Show on the Cartoon Network.

Hulk
Hulk’s a monster first, lovable second, childlike never. He’s the strongest Squadder, and the simplest, with major anger issues. When something sets him off, he becomes a tower of rage, ready to smash anything and everything in sight. Handy in a battle, but less helpful when it’s his turn to do the dishes. In such cases, it can take every member of the Squad to calm him. He can also be a bull in a china shop, walking through doors without opening them (or even walls). His rages on the Helicarrier frequently end with a hole in the ship’s foot-thick hull, and an angry green figure plummeting to the ground before bounding back.
Hulk and the other Squaddies: When not tearing locomotives in two, Hulk can be the most good-natured member of the Squad, pausing to pick a flower or pet a kitten (without being childish). Hulk’s version of “grabbing a snack” means tearing off the refrigerator door, holding the fridge aloft and emptying it into his mouth. Because of his simplicity and gullibility, Hulk is the butt of Wolverine’s wisecracks and the target of Falcon’s pranks. Iron Man feels protective of him and tries to help Hulk control his awesome temper. But Tony needs to stop building weapons and vehicles for Hulk; the ones he can operate at all, he breaks. Still, Tony keeps at it, creating enough Hulk add-ons to fill a… an endcap, actually. Hulk is inspired by Tony Stark and thinks he can be an inventor too. He puts a bunch of junk together (like a toaster and a boot) and celebrates his invention (the toaster boot). His teammates are speechless. But you never know; the toaster boot might actually come in handy.
Hulk’s gift of gab is limited, but succinct. He calls Falcon “Bird,” Wolverine “Claw,” the Surfer “Shiny,” etc. He thinks like a monster, so he doesn’t always put two and two together: He believes the Falcon is a bird, and will occasionally stuff birdseed down Falcon’s throat. He thinks Redwing is Falcon’s offspring: “Bird has baby bird! Cuute!” So as much as Falcon’s pranks bother Hulk, he does have his own innocent form of payback. And while Hulk likes to “smash,” he has a strong sense of justice. Hulk needs to learn to curb his anger and value his sensitive side. Or go play with a tire.
Naturally, Hulk supplies the team’s supreme STRENGTH FACTOR.
Guess who hooks up in the next episode of Super Hero Squad Show? The image above should give you a hint. If you need more clues on this week’s episode, take the jump.
After a huge debut, the alien remake finds itself in trouble once more as the second episode ratings fell nearly 30% from the week before.
The second “V” hour was seen by 10.7 million viewers and drew a 3.8 rating among adults 18-49, down 27% from last week. That’s the largest fall from a premiere we’ve seen for a scripted show this season.
While the numbers are nothing to sneeze at, NCIS, which has been on for a number of years, landed back at the top spot once again. Also, execs and pundits expected the viewer loss in the second week, but with only two more episodes before the series goes on an extended break, if the last two showings continue to fall, viewers may be wondering where the alien visitors disappeared to.
With the number of times Fox has dumped Joss Whedon shows, you’d have expect him to call it quits with the network for good. Dollhouse, the Eliza Dushku sci-fi thriller, was axed after lower than expected ratings for the second season.
“Yes. Canceled. Sad but true,” tweeted Maurissa Tancharoen, a writer on “Dollhouse” who is married to Whedon’s brother Jed Whedon, also a writer on the show.
What’s a Whedon to do? Can you say, “Doctor Horrible Sing-Along Blog sequel”? Of course you can, and of course he is.
It was only a matter of time before Amanda Waller made her presence known in Smallville, and thanks to some creative thinking at the CW, they’ve cast Pam Grier as the tough as nails agent villain. Grier will make her debut during the second hour of the Justice Society episode penned by Geoff Johns, when the two-parter airs in January.
While I think Grier will do a cracking good job, one can’t help but wonder what CCH Pounder would bring to the table – oh, right, we’ve already seen her live action Amanda Waller on the SyFy Channel’s Warehouse 13.

Operation Save Clark Kent nabbed a bunch of images from the upcoming “Idol” episode of Smallville, that features the debut of the Wonder Twins. They don’t particularly look like twins, or aliens, nor does it look like they form water, or an eagle. Also absent is a monkey. At least they are wearing purple! The other preview images at the site looks like the twins are going to try and pull a “I am Spartacus!” moment at some point…
This weekend, the Black Panther makes his debut on The Super Hero Squad Show as he tries to protect his teammates from the big-headed baddie M.O.D.O.K.

Is this a sign that Chuck may be permanently deep sixed? The Hollywood Reporter reports that Chuck executive producer Scott Rosenbaum is heading over to ABC to helm the upcoming remake of the V series.
Reevaluating the creative direction of the series, the studio made a change at the helm, switching showrunner responsibilities from executive producer Jeff Bell, who had joined in June, to executive producer Scott Peters, who penned the pilot.
According to the article, Rosenbaum will still be working with the Chuck, so it may not be off the air just yet.
Here’s a quick reminder to all the Star Wars: The Clone Wars fans out there – there’s a new episode airing November 4, 2009. That would be Wednesday evening, at 8:00 PM. LucasFilm sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the episode, that you can see after the jump!
Well, you’ve known that for a while now, haven’t you? The elder Petrelli brother had his throat slit at the end of last season by Sylar, and actor Adrian Pasdar continued to appear on the show as Sylar took on his appearance.
TV Guide has confirmed that Adrian Pasdar has been official released from the show since Nathan was last seen shot and buried in a hole in the ground.
Of course Heroes is supposed to be a super hero show, and we’ve all seen how permanent deaths are in comics.
Doctor Who fans who are saddened that David Tennant ends his tenure this year, might be slightly less depressed after learning Tennant is headed to American television. Tennant is scheduled to make his debut as Rex Alexander in NBC’s hour-long “Rex is Not Your Lawyer”.
“Rex” centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
This is supposed to be a comedic legal drama for those who are concerned Tenant may not get to goof off a bit in the show.
