How about answering a question no-one even knew they had about a throwaway line from Torchwood? Spoilers!

Remember being told that Martha Jones was on her honeymoon during Torchwood: Children Of Earth? Well, according to Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnson, "The End of Time" two-parter will reveal that Martha didn't marry Tom Milligan, her boyfriend from "The Last of The Time Lords." No, she'll apparently be married to Mickey Smith, AKA Rose's Ex-Boyfriend AKA Formerly One Of The Most Annoying Characters Of The New Series. We can only hope that they name their first child "Dalek."

<![CDATA[Learn Who Not To Expect In Lost's Final Season]]> According to co-creator Damon Lindelof, you shouldn't expect everything to be explained in the final season of ABC's Lost. In fact, some mysterious characters may be missing entirely from the last set of episodes. Spoilers!

Talking to Comic Book Resources during an appearance at LA's Earth-2 Comics, Lindelof said,

I don't think it would be 'Lost' if we answered every question to every viewer's satisfaction. I mean, there are some people who are still asking us 'What's the story with Kate's toy plane?' and there is nothing more to say about it; we've definitively answered that question to the best of our ability on the show, so you won't be hearing anymore about the toy plane. That being said, there are other sort of meta questions, like, what do the numbers mean, that we will be addressing more directly in the final season. But some people will feel like, 'Wow, they answered more than I thought they ever would about that question,' and some people will say 'What a hose job, I am so unsatisfied!' Our goal is to land in the middle of the 'hose jobers' and the 'too much informationers,' because you can't make everybody happy... Most of the questions that we get asked [now] are 'Is so-and-so coming back?' or 'Are we going to see more of so-and-so?' and I feel like that if I know the answer to that question, the fans sort of deserve a 'Yes, that is something you should be looking forward to,' or 'Don't get your hopes up for that because it's not going to happen.' I don't want you to tune in waiting for the Great American Libby story, because it's not coming.

Libby's not the only character who'll remain a mystery, it seems; we've already told you that Michael won't be appearing in the final season despite rumors to the contrary, and now Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is saying that Rosseau won't make an appearance in the final episodes, either, due to a scheduling issues for Mira Furlan, the actress who plays the show's favorite crazy French woman. We could live without Malcolm and Libby, but no Rosseau? That could be a dealbreaker.

<![CDATA[Dollhouse's Season 2 Finale Teased Already!]]> Have we just gotten our first glimpse of how the second season of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse is going to end already? One particular guest star has been talking about when they'll appear, which raises some interesting possibilities. Spoilers! Speculation! Go!

Talking to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, Alan Tudyk confirmed that Alpha will be back for the end of Dollhouse's second season, saying,

We've kind of been back and forth about [how many episodes I'll appear in]. I've been a little busy... I think I'm going to be in the last few episodes, three or four episodes of the season... What is Echo without Alpha?

Whedon has previously said that Alpha was going to be "used sparingly" in the second season, but with part of the running themes of the season being that Eliza Dushku's Echo is self-aware and able to access multiple personalities, it makes some sense that the equally-complex Alpha would reappear as the season builds to a climax. But does this mean that we're in for more "Oh, he escaped because I, who should have crazy ninja skills, suddenly need a man to save me" disappointment? Here's hoping that Echo's a little bit more self-sufficient for the rematch.

<![CDATA[Cell Phone Charms Are the New Spoilers]]> Remember how "Qui-Gon's Noble End" from the Phantom Menace soundtrack spoiled the whole movie for you? That was so last franchise. Now time your product tie-in spoilers come in the form of cell phone charms. This ad clearly shows miniature replicas of everything from the headpiece to the staff of Ra from Raiders, to Nurhachi's ashes from Temple of Doom. Smack dab in the center is a giant spoiler. We'll play nice and stick it after the jump this time. Just be warned that you might gouge your eyes out and send hate mail to George Lucas after seeing it.

IndyCrystalSnkull.jpgWhile we realize this is just a flyer from Japan that could be theoretical and all, it sure seems to confirm the rumor that we'll be seeing aliens in Indy IV, possibly even from Close Encounters. Then Indy flees Nazis in an X-Wing and the universe collapses around your ears. Is it a badge of honor to have the Ark of the Covenant dangling from your Samsung? Maybe Indy can bring home a crate of them from the Warehouse of Doom, which it looks like he'll be heading to in this movie. IndyCrates.jpg Indiana Jones: The Crystal Skull Revealed! [/Film]

<![CDATA[Batman Dreams Of Equality]]> Stephanie Brown took over as Robin for a short while in the Batman comics, and later died. But Bruce Wayne never saw fit to give her a memorial case in the Batcave, like the ones for other past Robins... until now. A dream sequence in a recent Grant Morrison-penned Bat-comic shows Stephanie's costume alongside the other previous Robins. Now if only Bats gets around to making that dream a reality...

<![CDATA["It's Kinda of a Grayish-Yellowish-Off-White Looking Thing"]]> Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News attended a screening of Cloverfield tonight, and he spills it about the monster: "It has a tail, it has teeth and freaky eyes...it's kinda of a grayish-yellowish-off-white looking thing. But more important than the creature is what this fucker does. He basically goes bug-nuts." Oh, and the lice monsters? They're real.

<![CDATA[Doctor Who Without The Doctor]]> The last two Doctor Who seasons each featured one episode where the Doctor hardly appeared. Looks like this year's "Doctor-lite" episode may take place inside his time machine, the TARDIS. (Though we liked the Doctor-Lite episode last year, which followed an ELO cover band in London full of Whovians.) How are they going to pull it off? Simple: strand the doctor somewhere so his companions Rose, Martha and Donna can have crazy adventures in time and space without him.
