  Yay, Jimmy Olsen to join Smallville

  For thoses who haven't heard, Aaron Ashmore (Troy from Veronica Mars) will join the Smallville cast as Jimmy Olsen. Finally after five years, Chloe will have a love interest. I was starting to believe Lex in season 5 when he implied Chloe was gay.
  
  Here's a picture of Alison Mack (who plays Chloe Sullivan) to remind you we have months to wait 'til Smallville returns. (Sorry)

  Still Buffy-ied!

  
  
  Well since my last entry, I haven't been watching a lot of TV lately, only been watching the World Cup (congrats Italy), The 4400, and Kyle XY. I have to say that Kyle XY is an excellent new show and I hope it gets an extended run. It's very similar to John Doe but with a teenage protagonist.
  
  Several good movies have also hit the big screen. I really enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean 2, especially Johnny Depps performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. However, I was disappointed with a very lacklustre Superman Returns. This movie should of been a blockbuster but poor casting and a weak story has really made this movie the wreck that it is.
  
  I've still been watching BtVS but it seems that the series hit its peak at about season 5. The ending to season 5 would have been a fitting ending to the series and I feel that the later seasons have been much weaker and less focused. With that in mind though, 'Once More With Feeling' was a brilliant episode.
  
  That's it for now, take care.

  Buffy The Vampire Slayer

  I've recently received the boxed DVD set 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Chosen Collection'. This massive thing is 40 DVDs featuring all seven seasons of Buffy. The only Joss Whedon series I watched regularly was the very excellent Firefly which unfortunate met an early demise at the hands of the incompetent Fox network execs.
  
  I never really got in to Buffy when it originally aired but since watching the first season on DVD, I'm starting to become a fan of the series. I've really just scratched the surface but with 40 DVDs, it is gonna take a long time before I see what happens in the Buffy world. I am enjoying what I've seen so far and I hope to enjoy the next 6 seasons of this Whedon classic.
