[fandom: news] i haven't completely abandoned western fandoms ... yet D:
I'd apologise for this being late (again), but that's getting to be old meme. :/ It's a never-ending cycle! I post an update, think that I'll stay on top of things, things invariably get piled up, & then it takes me ages to get the next one written up. I guess I'll just post these things when I post 'em. *sigh*

Amanda Tapping & Michael Shanks are now confirmed as appearing in an episode each of Stargate Universe; I bet Christopher Judge is just waiting for the phone call. :P
It looks like the Stargate Powers-That-Be have learned from the mistakes they made with SGA. Ming-Na's character on SGU is a lesbian; her partner is listed as a possibly recurring character.
And, speaking of Stargate Atlantis, the cover art for season 5 has been released.
The second (and probably final D:) season of Reaper will be released on DVD on June 9th.

The cover art for Eureka s3 looks neat; it comes out on June 30th.
Ed Quinn has joined the cast of True Blood.
And Evan Rachel Wood will appear on True Blood late in the season; if the series is renewed for s3, her role will likely be expanded.
The Colour of Magic will be released on DVD on July 14th.
During the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Paley panel, an update was given on Boldly Going Nowhere -- it's 'still being kicked around'. That doesn't sound encouraging. :/

Next year's season of Heroes will be shorter than this year's by at least 5 to 7 episodes.
The pilot for A Game of Thrones will be filmed in Northern Ireland.
If Persons Unknown gets a full season order, Robert Picardo will be a recurring cast member. He'll appear in the 13th/last episode of the initial order.
Michelle Trachtenberg was given her role in 17 Again because she had absolutely no chemistry with Zac Efron. :P (I don't know what it says about me that now I kinda want to watch the movie to see if the producers are right about that...)
Primeval is being adapted into a movie.
Joss Whedon has officially denied that rumour about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Yay! (I had thoughts about that rumour and... none of them were particularly kind. :P)
