Huh.

So, they're saying that Heroes will be scheduled at 8 pm on Mondays, and apparently, they're sharing the timeslot with Chuck, which will take over mid-season. Does this annoy anyone else? Having the show on at 8 pm pretty much precludes them from telling the kinds of stories they could tell at 9 pm (unless the whole "family friendly until the kids are supposedly in bed" thing no longer matters). This is especially weird scheduling considering the recent casting spoilers (which are awesome). And besides that, how long can the seasons for either Heroes or Chuck be if they're sharing a timeslot? Does anyone have an episode count yet? I haven't seen one.

Various fandom stuff

1. I'm so easy to please. One mention of Scream 4, and I'm already trying to figure out when it's coming out, so I can plan to be there on opening day. I don't even care how lame it might conceivably be. The first three were great, and I'm already salivating for this movie!

2. So apparently, Dominic Monaghan is coming back to ABC, but they won't reveal what the series he'll be on. I would prefer him to return to LOST, but wherever he turns up, I'll follow. Yikes. I hope he doesn't wind up on Desperate Housewives, 'cause then I'll have to watch it. D:

3. I'm starting to get excited about Stargate: Universe. The promos are looking great, and I like several of the cast members. Let's face it... casting Robert Carlyle was a pretty strategic move on their part. They pretty much had me as soon as I read that announcement.

4. So I haven't commented on this before, but it appears that the forthcoming SGA film has a title: Stargate: Extinction. I'm excited about the movie having a title, because it seems to grant the project a solidity it didn't have before. I glanced at the IMDB cast list, though, and a couple of people I wanted to see seem to be missing (Lorne and Beckett). Any word on whether Kavan or Paul are a part of this? Y/N? Maybe?

5. Now I am going to make cheesy hash browns and watch Halloween.
