I have not had a chance to watch Flash Forward or this week’s Supernatural yet. I will see them before the weekend’s out and muse upon them in this spot. I know you can’t wait.

Meanwhile, here’s a tidbit of news for you: Stephen Root will have a “multiepisode arc” on 24‘s Season 8, according to Backstage. He’ll play Ben Prady, “an officer of the Department of Corrections looking into a parolee gone missing.”

Well, that can’t be good. You’ll recognize Root from
Office Space (Milton) or as the nerdy accountant vampire who sold his blood to Lafayette in Season 1 of True Blood. Even if you don’t recognize his face, if you watched King of the Hill, you’ve heard his voice a zillion times, in Bill.
