Got a Question for Dean’s New Angel?
Tuesday afternoon, this TV Addict will be chatting with Misha Collins, or as SUPERNATURAL fans now know him as, Castiel, the mysterious Angel of the Lord. So if you’ve got any questions for the newest [and if we may be so bold as to say, fantastic] addition to the SUPERNATURAL mythos, please post away in the comments below.
[Update 3:20PM] Having just got off the phone with Misha Collins, questions are no longer needed. But thanks for playing and be sure to check back tomorrow for the full interview.

First Look: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Season Three
Contrary to rampant online speculation, this TV Addict has not — I repeat HAS NOT — packed his bags, sold the house and moved to the United States in order to get DirecTV in time for the premiere of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS third season on October 1st premiere. Because that would be crazy… right?!
Thanks to BuddyTV for the Tip!
Spotlight on HEROES Star Zachary Quinto
In anticipation of tonight’s third season premiere of HEROES [see preview], theTVaddict.com thought we’d spend a few moments shining a spotlight on actor Zachary Quinto, who has risen to fame playing America’s favorite super-villain Sylar.
On the new season: In a far more diplomatic manner than this TV Addict might have put it, Zachary Quinto promises that the new Chapter of HEROES, titled “Villains” will be far more entertaining that last season’s suck fest underwhelming “Generations” installment, “I think that the scripts this season are just, you know, more exciting and more action-packed, and more dynamic than ever. I think it just keeps getting better and more – you know, every time I open a script it’s truly a thrill.”
On what’s in store for Sylar: There’s a lot of unexpected turns this year for my character and every time I open a script there’s just a different kind of challenge. Whether it’s a either physical challenge in terms of a fight sequence or a stunt sequence that we’re doing, or a special effects sequence that we’re doing, or emotional challenge in terms of what Sylar’s coming up against in himself, and what he’s coming up against outside of himself with the people that he’s interacting with. I think the tapestry of that has been incredibly rich this year for my character, in particular. So it’s been really – it’s been a ride for sure.

Just because EWPopWatch is following me doesn’t mean you have to.
