Meet The 2 Scary Guys Who Cause Mayhem In Lost Season 5

Some new leaks supposedly explain why Shia LaBoeuf is acting so wacky in Transformers 2. And a Lost callsheet explains something scary that happens to one of your favorite characters next season. And there are revealing new images from Life On Mars, Sarah Connor and Heroes. We also got a glimpse of a script to an upcoming Stargate episode, some new videos of Kyle XY and Fringe, and some Smallville hints. Spoiler madness is contagious!

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen:

An anonymous source has fed a few new bits of Transformers 2 info to fansite Seibertron. In particular, Shia's craziness is linked to the Allspark — it has enough energy to transform a soda machine, so just think what it could do to a living being exposed to it. Also, every Transformer has a symbol on it, and these were referred to as "glyphs" in the first movie. They may have something to do with the mysterious pyramid fans heard about at Dreamworks studios. Also, that ice cream truck is not "the twins." [Seibertron]

Life On Mars:

Here's a new cast pic. [SpoilerTV]

Lost:

Another casting call introduces you to a batch of characters you'll be meeting in January. There's Solanga, a Filipino male in his 50s, who's the village doctor in a small rural community. He has some vices, but also has some medical skills. And he speaks "relatively good English with an accent." Then there's a male Janitor at a school, in his 40s or 50s. A working-class Brit, he's a nosy rumor monger who knows everybody's business.

Another working-class Brit is the thirty-something Abigail, a deeply wounded stoic who indulges in sarcasm but is a "loyal caregiver at heart." And finally, there's another thirtysomething Brit, the pretty blonde Theresa, who suffers from dementia but also has lucid moments. (And I'm guessing Abigail is caring for Theresa.) [Doc Arzt]

Meanwhile, an enterprising fan managed to sneak a look at the call sheet for that sequence that was filmed the other day, where armed guys chase Locke and Alpert. In a nutshell, the armed guys are Egyptians, named Bomani and Asim, and Alpert manages to elude them by hiding in a special hiding place, an area they're afraid of. Locke climbs a tree and gets shot, and then they take him prisoner while Alpert watches from a distance. Apparently Asim is in a few episodes. [Lost Spoilers]

Eleventh Hour:

The fifth element of Jerry Bruckheimer's stop-the-science-nowz show is called "Containment," and a casting call has gone out for a Guatemalan girl who works in a freezer plant factory and speaks a particular Mayan dialect from Guatemala. [SpoilerTV]

Sarah Connor Chronicles:

Here's a new poster that hints at just how badly Summer Glau's Terminator gets messed up. [SpoilerTV]

Heroes:

Here are some more Heroes promo posters, some of which you've seen before but these are better quality. Plus a new promo pic of Ali Larter as "Tracy," trying to exert her powers on a flower. [Heroes The Series and Heroes Spoilers]

Here's a new promo that includes a few bits of new footage including Future Peter saying it never would have been like this if people hadn't known about "us." [Watching Heroes]

Smallville:

Televisionista gives a few more details about the Smallville premiere. Searching for Clark, the mini-Justice League goes to the Arctic, where they have a confrontation with Tess, Lex's replacement. Then they track Clark to the Russian work camp where he's powerless. Turns out Clark's powers have been stripped away by Jor-El. And Chloe is being held prisoner by a mysterious group that has discovered she has a new superpower. [Televisionista]

Also, in episode 8, "Bloodline," Lois finds herself in an unexpected situation that she's never been in before — and it's not a romantic situation. And in episode 9, "Abyss," the friendship of Clark and Chloe gets explored, and there are flashbacks going as far back as the first time she visited Clark's "Amish" barn. Only four of the show's eight regulars will be in this episode. And episode 10 is probably the Chloe-Jimmy wedding. [KryptonSite]

Kyle XY:

Here's a brief teaser for the third season of the superteen show, plus a copy of the preview footage shown at Comic-Con. [SpoilerTV]

Fringe:

Are you stoked for J.J. Abrams' stop-the-science-nowz show? Here's a new trailer. [SpoilerTV]

Stargate Atlantis:

A couple of script pages from the 19th episode of the season, "Vegas," have turned up. They show a Wraith playing cards with a human and using telepathy to cheat, and then Sheppard shows up and sits down at the table, and the Wraith takes off. [SpoilerTV]

Meanwhile, Maj. Paul Davis of the Pentagon will be showing up in the final Atlantis episode, "Enemy At The Gate." Fans speculate the episode will involve the nemesis introduced in the season five two-parter, "First Contact" and "The Lost Tribe." [Gateworld]
