Behind the 8-ball

The Soloist premiere - Paramount Studios

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.

    What about NewsRadio, Amy? I LOVE Stephen Root, I may have to start watching 24 just because of him. :D

    I haven’t watched FlashForward yet, I’m going to catch it on the re-airing tonight on ABC. I did watch SPN but I won’t spill any beans for you. ;)

    Oh, wow, Beth – you’re totally right about NewsRadio! I had completely forgotten about that. Good memory. :-) (And thanks for not spilling the SPN beans)
