Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things TV Addict might wish to consider before buying your iPad tomorrow
Assuming of course you haven’t spent the last few weeks in a cave, odds are fairly probable that you’re acutely aware that tomorrow will mark the start of a new era in digital consumption courtesy of the release of Apple’s much-anticipated iPad. In a word: iWant. But, knowing full well that $499.99 is a big decision, particularly when a new iPhone release is just around the corner in these uncertain economic times, we thought we’d press pause on the hype for a moment and ask the only man we know who is immune to Steve Jobs’ reality distortion field, our friend Matt Whitlock of TechLore.com, who offered up 5 reasons why you may not want to pull a Phil Dunphy just yet.
Flash Free
In spite of Apple single-handedly attempting to wage a crippling war against Adobe, Flash continues to be the web’s most dominant way to deliver video online. Which means should you purchase an iPad in the not-to-distant-future, you can say goodbye to hulu.com or other popular online TV destinations until web sites start adopting Apple’s approved HTML5 standard, or go the ABC and CBS route by developing iPad specific Apps.
Lack of an optical drive
You know those hundreds, heck thousands of dollars you’ve spent on that incredible TV on DVD collection that’s quietly taking up space in your living room? It’s gonna take an awful lot of time to rip and re-encode those discs into an iPad friendly format. We’re just sayin’

An In Depth Look At… GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Latest Shocking Exit!
One of the most buzzed about stories on daytime takes another shocking twist when this week, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Kiefer — the guy who was stupid enough to repeatedly abuse a mobster’s daughter — bites the bullet. “Usually when you say that about someone in Port Charles, it can be taken literally,” says Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms. “After all, rare is the week that someone isn’t shot in that town. But the bullet wounds usually aren’t fatal. What happens to Kiefer most definitely is!”

Exclusive: We get to the bottom of last night’s mind-blowing FRINGE with Star Blair Brown
Still reeling from last night’s phenomenal FRINGE return? Can’t stop trying to wrap your head around the Walternate! The other side! The realization as to what poor Eric Stoltz’s career could have been?! Rest assured, neither can we. Which is why, upon our recent visit to the set of FRINGE, we sat down with Blair Brown who plays the increasingly mysterious Nina Sharp to talk about her character’s big reveal, family matters and what the future may-or-may-not hold for the head of Massive Dynamic.
Last night we finally learned the real behind what happened to Nina’s arm. What was your reaction to learning the truth and did you know all along that Cancer wasn’t to blame for the loss of Nina’s arm?
Blair Brown: Instinctively I just knew that Nina’s explanation was a lie, but I really didn’t want to ask [the writers] because I don’t like to know. I really love the scripts to show up and get to go, “Oh My God this is amazing!” It’s much more fun as a actor to play all the possibilities. Nina is the kind of person, or at least I choose to make her the kind of person who will always pretend to know everything, she just has to be the smartest dog in the room no matter what room it is. So it was very interesting all of a sudden to humanize Nina. I’ve always felt she’s one of those people who pretends to be something colder, cooler than she actually is. So now it’s interesting that this season we’ve started to see much more of her she is as a person and I think over next season we’ll start to understand her profound connection to not only Olivia, but to Peter. Because that goes pretty well unexplained.

First Look: Castle’s Worst Nightmare!
Brace yourself CASTLE fans. For on April 19th, the will-they-or-won’t-they tango between New York’s most eligible mystery novelist and Beckett will come to a screeching halt. Big time. Thanks in no small part to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA alum and Christian Bale look-a-like Michael Trucco, who as Robbery detective Tom Demming will sweep Beckett off of her feet (in a recurring role for the rest of the season) when he is assigned to help our dynamic duo investigate the murder of a thief. More first look photos of which can be seen after the jump.
