Sarah is in Puerto Rico. Kevin is in Vegas. Scott is home alone in the apartment, which means? PARTY TIME! And by ?party time? I mean turning the heat down (I hate being hot) cereal for meals other than breakfast (sarah hates when I eat it too much) and not posting on the blog because I?ll be busy editing ?An American King? and doing another re-write on ?Nice Guys Finish Last.? Have a party-licious weekend!

Forget ?Lost? ?24? or any other show that normally has you on the edge of your seat. Tonight, on “The Office,” when Roy uttered the lines, ?Jim Halpert is dead.? I almost peed myself. The above photo is from when Roy got a DUI after Pam canceled the wedding. My god I?m scared for Jim!

Kristin at E! found out what some were wondering. It seems that Nate and Jennylee did have sex:

Myth 6: Jennylee and Nate Never “Sealed the Deal”

Au contraire, mon fr?re! At least, according to Miss Megan, who proudly announced to me that Nate and Jennylee totally got it on! “I know everybody thinks they didn’t have a chance to sleep together during the show, but I’m here to tell everyone that Nate and Jennylee had sex on the last night in the house.” And just for that bit of saucy info, I say Megan and Scooter totally deserve the money. Congratulations, kids!

You have DAYS to enter the ?Wildfire? t-shirt contest. The contest ends Sunday at 11:59p.m. Basically (for those of you who don?t know) the ABC Family Channel (or at least one of their marketing partners) has given me a ?who will she choose?? shirt to give away. If you want it all you have to do is send an email to (scottking@scottking.info) with the subject line saying ?Wildfire is the best teen drama on tv.? Then give your mailing address. On Monday I?m using a number generator to assign a winner, so hurry up and get those emails sent! (the only catch is that you have to live in the continental US).

Grey’s Death

Wow. So there was a death on “Grey’s Anatomy” tonight. It was sad, but I was more upset about seeing Lamb killed on “Veronica Mars.” Which death hit your the most?

Better Ways To Have Ended Marvel’s Civil War

And now a guest post by Lisa of Neptune Comics.

Here are my alternate endings for Civil War. They?re all silly! Almost as silly as the way they really ended it.

- Cloak accidentally teleports 24?s Jack Bower into the Marvel Universe. Jack is carrying two nuclear bomb brief cases. Unfortunately, as he falls to the ground the nukes go off, destroying the Marvel Universe in a large nuclear explosion, along with Jack Bower. This leads to a later 24/New Avengers crossover.

- Scarlet Witch appears within the crowd of Marvel characters fighting and shouts, ?You?re All Mutants,? reversing the outcome of House of M as well as altering the face of the Marvel Universe until the next event undoes it all once again.

- Captain America takes the killing blow, severing Tony?s head, only to discover that he?s actually a cloned Tony Stark. As the other heroes fight, we see more cloned characters. Turns out that the entire thing was manufactured by Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards as a joke on Captain America/Steve Richards and all of the other characters are actually clones. (Read on …)

That’s What She Said

If you are a fan of “The Office” you have to checkout this blog. In it, an attorney writes about what would happen if “The Office” took place in the real world. For example, the “Ben Franklin” stunt would have cost Dunder Mifflin at least $800k in legal fees and last week’s episode would have cost at least $300k.

“Business School” – LITIGATION VALUE: $30,000 (But it could have been much higher)

?Business is always personal? is probably not the best motto for a manager. It could lead them to act impulsively. Like, say, moving an employee?s desk from the front of the office to an ?annex? inhabited by the employee?s chatty, fashion-crazed, quasi (ex?) girlfriend as a punishment for suggesting that the company could someday go out of business. But ? would it be illegal? Maybe. Or at least it would be if Ryan?s speech could be considered a protected activity under Sarbanes-Oxley, the anti-discrimination laws, or some type of state whistleblower statute. Because Ryan?s speech (well, the part of it we could hear) probably did not implicate any of these statutes, Dunder Mifflin will likely dodge a bullet.

Also, remember tonight’s episode is directed by J.J. Abrams and that Rainn Wislon is hosting THIS Saturday’s SNL.

The ?Heroes? spoofs are really starting to hit the internet, but this one really made me laugh.

Fantastic Four 3?

Fantastic Four 2, ?Rise of the Silver Surfer? is months and months away from being released, but Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards) is already talking about the third film. He basically says the entire cast is signed to do a third movie and that its already part of his production schedule. He also says that the second movie ends on a semi-cliffhanger that leads into the third film. Below is the full section of the interview:

Question: Now, Fantastic Four, the first one did very well commercially but was not exactly embraced by the critics. So how surprised were you that a) the film did as well as it did; and b) that it spawned a sequel which nobody really expected? (Read on …)

Giant Squid off New Zealand

vert.squid.water.ap.jpgAnother crazy sea creature was found. This time it?s a 990 pound squid whose tentacles are as thick as tractor tires!

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A fishing crew has caught a colossal squid that could weigh a half-ton and prove to be the biggest specimen ever landed, a fisheries official said Thursday.

If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tires, one expert said.

The squid, weighing an estimated 990 pounds and about 39 feet long, took two hours to land in Antarctic waters, New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said.

The fishermen were catching Patagonian toothfish, sold under the name Chilean sea bass, south of New Zealand “and the squid was eating a hooked toothfish when it was hauled from the deep,” Anderton said. (Read on …)

Grey?s Anatomy Spin Off

Addison Montgomery-Shepard may be leaving Seattle Grace for her own show. It seems that ABC and ?Grey?s Anatomy? producer Shonda Rhimes are in talks of giving Kate Walsh her own spin-off.

This is all according to the Wall Street Journal which says Rhimes has yet to settle on plot details such as whether Addison would leave Seattle. She is, however, planning a May sweeps episode that would focus on Addison and serve as a back-door pilot for the new show.

Should that happen, it would likely push another Rhimes project, about a group of female journalists in New York, on to the back burner.

I know some of you were expecting a post about last night’s “Veronica Mars” but I’m just too upset to write about it. Though E! and TV Guide have mini-interviews.

Tapping Joins Atlantis Cast

Filed under: TV — Scott King at 8:35 pm on Wednesday, February 21, 2007

28017821.jpgSci-Fi sent out a press release announcing that Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter) from ?Stargate SG-1? will join ?Stargate Atlantis? when SG-1 ends this spring. Tapping has played the character for 10 years on SG-1, which recently became the longest running science fiction show ever.

Atlantis will resume production on the fourth season in Vancouver, Canada, starting next month. Tapping will appear in 14 of Atlantis’s 20 episodes. The new season will introduce a powerful new race, new cast members and mark the loss of beloved friends.
