Aura-cleansing spoilers include Chris Pine's Star Trek forecast. Revealing pics from Dragonball, Kyle XY, Monsters Versus Aliens, Watchmen, Smallville, and T4. New BSG clues. Lost hints, Heroes casting and Supernatural shockers. Breathe in the spoilers!
Watchmen, etc.:
Some higher res versions of the Entertainment Weekly images from Watchmen, Harry Potter and Terminator Salvation we featured a few days ago, courtesy of Warner Bros. [Warner Bros.]
Monsters Versus Aliens:
One cool new pic, showing Ginormica running from that massive robot. [Dreamworks]
Star Trek:
The new J.J. Abrams film won't please everyone, says Kirk actor Chris Pine:
There's a scene where my character is in a bar and he's definitely inebriated and under the influence of his own arrogance. It's him becoming the Kirk everyone knows. In my book that makes the journey a little more interesting. If he's a clear-cut leader from the beginning, you don't have anywhere to go.
He also said he brought Kirk's "humor, arrogance and decisiveness," but instilled them in a young man who doesn't know he's a leader yet. And the battling Kirk and Spock do eventually "find common ground through conflict."
Meanwhile, Zachary Quinto said his Spock has a characterstic stiffness and economy of movement, with the holding of the hands behind the back. And as he's mentioned many times before, this is a Spock who hasn't yet learned to control his emotions so well. [WSJ]
Dragonball Evolution:
When was the last time you saw some new stills from this movie and enjoyed a good belly laugh? (It restores your chi.) I especially like the Goku fight pic this time around. [BadTaste]
Battlestar Galactica:
Sci Fi updated its BSG clues site with a couple of sound files. It sounds like one of them has a radio conversation involving Colonial One, and fans have transcribed it:
Hoshi: They're communicating with Colonial One, Sir.
Adama: Let's hear it.
Gaeta: What do you want, Gaius?
Baltar: I want this to stop right now. This is madness, Felix. I know you’re a good man , you want to do the right thing,You know exactly what i'm talking about.
Tigh: You're the fifth.
Baltar: Our little secret, but i forgive you for that day. If you are hungering for redemption, this is not the way.
Gaeta: Goodbye, Gaius.....
Baltar: Felix, please listen.
But some other fans couldn't hear the "You're the fifth" thing in there. (The "hungering for redemption" definitely reminds me of the hybrid's spiel about the final Cylon in "Razor.") And then the second clip seems to be Roslin talking about how she wants to live a little bit, before she dies, and someone tells her that she only has one more day. And there's something about Cylons that I can't quite make out. [Sci Fi and Sci Fi]
Lost:
Flash-forwards and flashbacks will be less prominent this season, but in the opening episode of season five, we see past and present versions of Desmond, and they're both hot. Also, Ben helps Jack get off the booze and pills, and implies that if Jack does get back to the island, he'll never again return to the "real" world. And Sawyer gets to smack someone around in the season opener. [E! Online]
In the opening scene of the season opener, an alarm clock goes off at 8:15. (Whoah!) And that scene features someone we know and love, but we're seeing him in a new capacity. We won't learn in the first couple of episodes whether Jin is alive, but we will glimpse him. The three characters who die early on aren't major characters. Jack and Kate don't have any contact, although Kate considers calling him at one point. [Zap2It]
Kyle XY:
Okay, this is so not going to end well. In episode 3x03, "Electric Kiss," Jessi XX moves in with Kyle, and tensions rise in the Trager household. Not to mention, it looks like Amanda walks in on Kyle and Jessi about to share that aforementioned kiss. (I'm a total Kyle/Jessi shipper, although isn't she like Kyle's sister? Oh, not according to Wikipedia.) Meanwhile, Lori is totally going out with that DJ who helped her with the song contest. [SpoilerTV]
Heroes:
Nathan quickly becomes best buds with President Worf, thanks to his inside info on his mutant pals. And he's quickly corrupted by all this access to power. One of the first people he sells out is his ex, Tracy. Meanwhile, Hiro and Ando are getting a "lair." [E! Online]
