"Smallville's" Jonathan Kent RIP, Lana LIVES!
““Smallville’s” Jonathan Kent RIP, Lana LIVES!”
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 27, 2006
For those of you who caught last night’s Thursday, January 26, 2006, 100th episode of “Smallville”, (and for those of you who missed it), the main odds contender to die in the pivotal episode, turned out to be Clark’s beloved adoptive Father, Jonathan Kent.
Actor, John Schneider, who truly made the role of Jonathan Kent his own, imbuing it with the wisdom, love, and guidance necessary to create the ultimate, convincing parental figure and man of strong moral fiber and conviction, who would stalwartly help lead Clark along the right and virtuous path, as Clark grew from a teen into a man while discovering his true, Super Hero identity and powers, will be missed on the WB Television Network hit series, now in its 5th season.
In the episode, Jonathan, on the very same night that he emerged victorious, winning the election as a Senator in the Kansas State Senate, died from a heart attack.
The red herring which we all feared, which was the possible death of Clark’s (and our) beloved, eternal love, Lana, DID happen, TOO!
But, in the land of “Smallville” and fantasy, epic, comic book Super Heroes, Clark, by virtue of the celestial forces provided by his biological, Kryptonian Father Jor-El, was able to relive over the day on which Lana passed, and Clark was allowed to save, ONE, person who perished.
Even with his undeniable, otherworldly super powers though, even Clark, was only able to save ONE of the two, dearly departed people that he loved.
So “Smallville’s” writers ensured keeping fans happy, with the somewhat extraterrestrial resurrection of core heroine character and Clark’s main squeeze canoodling gal pal, Lana, who was brought back from the clutches of death, to live once more.
John Schneider says on Zap2it.com, that when he began to read the script for the 100th episode, and he learned that Lana was to die, he thought that Jonathan had beaten the Grim Reaper. Not so.
Schneider tells Zap2it.com that, “As you read it, Lana dies first. They even fooled us. I started reading it and thought, “These guys have been full of crap. Look at them. It’s not me, it’s Lana for crying out…oh wait a minute. Oh.””
We want to say that as a huge fan of the series, that both actor, Schneider, and his character of the consummate, loving Father figure, Jonathan Kent, will be greatly missed.
We are however, breathing a sigh of relief that Lana, (and actress, Kristin Kreuk), is sticking around, so that Clark and Lana can continue to steam up their now definitely ON again, romance.
Plus the magnetic, sparkling chemistry, and well drawn, intelligently written, played out, character driven, life long friendship, which has blossomed into first, true love, between actress, Kreuk in her portrayal as Lana, and actor, Tom Welling, in his portrayal as Clark/Superman has remained a constant, key element in driving the dazzling dynamic of the series.
Actor, Schneider tells Zap2it.com that he will miss working on “Smallville” and that in particular, he will miss his 5 year long collaboration, working alongside and with actor, Welling.
We wish you well John! (Oh, and you STILL reign in the ORIGINAL “Dukes Of Hazzard”, as well as being one heck of a top notch song and dance man in many a lauded Broadway show!)
As for “Smallville”, Clark and Lana, WOW, sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G!
Thank Goodness! Whew! That was a close call. By the way, THANKS Jor-EL for helping Clark to save our girl!

We are getting thrilling, excited, anticipatory chills (the GOOD kind) as Dr. Jean Grey appears to indeed, have risen like a Phoenix, (we had faith Jean!), to emerge alive and well, ready to stand stalwart and steadfast once more beside her Super Hero, virtuous, mutant allies, as Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Rogue, and Professor Charles Xavier once again, take on and brave nefarious forces.
In this 3rd chapter of the film series based on the Marvel comic books’ Super Hero saga, it breaks our heart to see that this time, in “X-Men 3”, the ultimate battle, the dreaded war that Professor Xavier has feared for so long, that would be brought about by (evil) humans, and Xavier’s former friend and now, fallen nemesis, Magneto, and Magneto’s evil mutant armies, that will also fall upon ALL, innocent and good mutants and humans, has come to pass.
And so our Super Hero pure of heart, band of brothers and sisters mutants, yes, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Rogue, Professor Xavier,…and Dr. Jean Grey will clash with the uber villains, in the furious, historic, climatic fight of good versus evil, to ensure that justice and good prevail triumphant!
Looking forward to it! Magneto, Mystique, bring it on!
We have faith and hope and have no fear or doubt.
The GOOD mutants, the “X-Men”, as Professor Xavier says, know that, “the fate of many, lies in the hands of a few” in, what the “X-Men” will make, perhaps “their last stand”, and the “X-Men”, WILL save the world!
This is going to be one hell of an epic, action packed, inspiring, uplifting, and all definitive chapter to the “X-Men”!

Love And Loss On "Smallville's" 100th Episode!
‘’Love And Loss On “Smallville’s” 100th Episode!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 23, 2006
Well bring out the cake and candles, throw the confetti and sing a congratulatory “Happy 100th Episode” to one of our favorite TV series, ever!
“TV Guide’s” January 23, 2006 issue has a 3 page spread devoted to this Thursday’s January 26, 2006 100th episode of the WB TV Network’s series, “Smallville”. An historic event, if ever we saw and knew of one!
According to the article on page 31, in the episode, we will experience and witness both a major romantic development between Clark and Lana, and we will also suffer the tragic death of one of “Smallville’s” major, core characters.
Executive Producer, Al Gough tells “TV Guide” that “A major character will die”, but that he chose the series’ 100th episode to do the deed, because the timing seemed right and, significantly, that the offing will be done with grace and dignity, in respectful deference to the legend and fans of the Superman myth.
The character that will die will, according to Gough, is someone that we see every week in the series’ opening montage.
“TV Guide” then gives their bets on who they predict is most likely to get the axe.
Their 3 main contenders for the funeral services are Clark’s adoptive parents, both Jonathan and Martha Kent, who have dodged the Reaper countless times, and the character of Chloe, who was not an original character in the Superman comic books and was literally created by “Smallville’s” writers, just for the show.
But, that doesn’t mean that “Smallville’s” writers may not throw a left hook at us and surprise us with the death of someone we don’t expect, which worries us more than a tad.
The 100th episode will also bring about a climatic event in the storied romance between Clark and Lana. There will be a sweeping, grand, romantic gesture to Lana, from Clark.
“TV Guide’s” dazzling photo of the couple at The Fortress Of Solitude, showing Clark on bended knee, gazing up at Lana, holding what appears to be a rock worthy of Tiffany’s or Cartier to say the least, is more than a hint. (So, well YOU do the math!)
Do we hear wedding bells? We certainly hope so, as these two make the world’s (and the galaxies’) most celestial couple.
Then turn to pages 32-33 for an A-Z “Smallville”/Superman trivia primer of superhero information galore, that ALL of you should know and pass. Look for such cool factoids all about, Kryptonite, Chloe’s Wall Of Weird, Remy Zero’s weekly show opening theme song “Save Me” (which we LOVE by the way!), actor, Terrance Stamp, and tons more!
We are going to EXPLODE, waiting for this Thursday with anticipation.
All we ask is PLEASE, Clark, DO propose to Lana, Lana, damn it, ACCEPT!, and to the “Smallville” writers, who ever you kill off, PLEASE don’t let it be Lana!
This is an epic love that MUST survive!
Happy 100th episode “Smallville”!

The January 27, 2006 issue of “Entertainment Weekly Magazine’’ reports that one of our all time favorite film franchises (and comic book superheroes), the legendary “X-Men”, is poised to hopefully arrive in the glory of the 3rd film chapter of the saga, this May 2006, with more new characters than you can poke a stick at!
To say we are a fan of the “X-Men” films is more than an understatement.
The first “X-Men” film, and it’s sequel, “X2” were nothing short of brilliant, with the sequel unbelievably even topping the first film.
Turn to page 30 of “Entertainment Weekly Magazine” for a simply FAB photo of NEW good guy “X-Men 3” character, the white winged Angel, portrayed by the gorgeous, blond haired hunk, actor, Ben Foster from TV’s HBO Network’s hit series, “Six Feet Under” looking quite studly and heaven sent, sans shirt and bare chested, with full feathered wing spread, striking a pose!
TV’s “Frasier’s” own multiple times, Emmy Award winning actor, the inimitable, Kelsey Grammer also joins “X-Men 3” as the blue pigmented character, Beast (We wonder how this will play out with the sexy blue siren, Mystique? And any relation by the way?).
Grammer tells “Entertainment Weekly” that he had to endure hours of not so pleasant, highly uncomfortable prosthetics makeup and application, which he also had to survive through daily hours of filming.
Grammer also says that new kid on the block, Director Brett Ratner, who has taken over the helm for “X-Men 3” from the first 2 “X-Men” films’ Director Bryan Singer, is adding more and more characters for the 2nd sequel, and Grammer says, “There’s a ton of characters. There may be more or less, depending on how that final cut comes together.”
“EW Magazine” then surprised and stunned with curiosity (as so are we) with Grammer’s red herring statement about this being the final installment in the “X-Men” film franchise, (We haven’t heard any confirmed news to this affect at least!), delicately walks this egg shell by inquiring to actor, Foster, what about Grammer’s comment, (and is there any truth therein?) about this being the “end” of the “X-Men” films, to which Foster winkingly quips back something to the affect that Grammer must have been having a bad (not hair) but costume day, being stuck in all those prosthetics and was just blowing off steam, (we hope), about much ado about nothing.
In any event, we hope Director Ratner can keep the greatest show on cinema earth up to par, and continue to raise the bar as stratospherically as Director Bryan Singer did with the first 2 “X-Men” films.
Talk about spectacular, stellar, three (if not multi!) dimensional, character driven, magnificently written character and story development, fully fleshing out the psychological, emotional, and dare we say it, inspirational, soul searching depth and elements of the heart soaring good guy super heroes, mutants, Wolverine (Logan), Rogue (Marie), Dr. Jean Grey, Professor Charles Xavier, Cyclops, Storm, and Nightcrawler, matching them against the nefarious plans of ultra bad guys and nemesises, Magneto, Mystique, Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth.
Talk about an ensemble cast, with the core cast members all reprising their roles for both films with such a genuine, on screen camaraderie, bond, friendship, selflessness, compassion, heroics, conviction, tolerance, courage, sense of duty and honor, and..love by the multi talented actors and actresses, (many being Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award winning thespians of film, TV, and theater), including the ever esteemed venerable Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Anna Paquin, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn,….
….and of course, the absolutely otherworldly, luminous, actor, Hugh Jackman, whose magnificent, brilliant portrayal of Wolverine/Logan is the very heart, soul, and centerpiece of the “X-Men” superhero film series.
Add to this the intentional lesson for the ages allegory, regarding the intolerances and prejudices that have plagued mankind since the beginning of time, and mankind’s universal need for understanding and compassion for all people and all living beings on this planet, intelligently woven into the ongoing theme of the “X-Men” storyline all wrapped up superbly by the most magnificent Director, Screenwriter, Executive Producer, Bryan Singer, and you have ah, bravisima!
(And our hat is indelibly tipped to YOU for your wonderful touch Bryan, for also weaving into the context of “X-Men”, our favorite book of our lifetime, author, T.H. White’s “The Once And Future King”, the ultimate parable about mankind’s never ending intolerance and wars, and the how and hope for the creation of a just and kind world of universal understanding and peace), as former friend turned enemy of Professor Xavier, Magneto, is seen reading the book, and later, with Professor Xavier teaching and telling a class of mutant school children all about White’s classic parable for the ages, at the brilliant, uplifting end of “X2”.
All we can say is, our anticipation is already notched way past red on the what ever meter you can supply for “X-Men 3”.
Wolverine, (especially!), Rogue, Storm, Cyclops, Professor Xavier, Jean Grey (she better have survived for any of you who remember the ending of “X2”)!
“X-Men” United Rock!

"Spider-Man's" New Love Interest, But Will YOU Love Her!
“Spider-Man’s” New Love Interest, But Will YOU Love Her!”
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 20, 2006
Oh, good lord! Say it isn’t so! The suits behind the “Spider-Man 3” film are looking to cast the role of Spidey’s new love interest (actually old, if you are a follower of the Marvel “Spider-Man” comic books), being the character of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker’s very first, true love (before Mary Jane Watson came along), way back when the two met in High School.
While we are doing back flips about the film makers’ decision to stay true blue to the original storyline of the Marvel comic books’, web spinning super hero, we are dropping our jaw, and NOT, with enthusiasm or joy over the buzzed about main contender to be cast in the role of Gwen.
Hope you’re sitting down folks, because we’re trying to let you down..er..easily.
Actress, Bryce Dallas Howard, the leaden, wooden, cardboard covered ice berg that literally sunk the titanic film, “The Village”, the much ballyhooed dinosaur egg laid by lauded Director, M. Knight Shyamalan, due in great part to Howard’s, er, unique performance, is in big time discussions to play Gwen.
Oh, the insanity!
Look, we are ecstatic over seeing more of the sterling, major character driven development that was so prevalent, thought provoking, intelligent, and heart string tugging in the first 2 chapters of the Spidey film saga, spin the tale yet more and play out even further in the 3rd chapter in the “Spider-Man” film franchise.
Thank heavens the always stellar actors, Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco will be reprising their roles for the third time around.
But good golly Miss Molly, we can think of a gazillion far more talented, mesmerizing, magnetic, luscious leading ladies and new sparkling Hollywood starlets that would add luster to Spidey’s love interest, Gwen Stacy and really add some sparks and zing to the love triangle and torn hearts between Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane, than Bryce Dallas Howard? (Just our opinion folks!)
“The Village” was in fact intended as a horror film, only unfortunately, it was VERY scary and not for the reasons it was made.
This film flop’s most deserving achievement for horror and for which it should have earned a Golden Raspberry Award, was the most terrifying factor imbued by Howard’s dead weight, albatross performance.
“Spider-Man 3” fans! We implore you!
Post on your fan boards in protest! Write the filmmakers! Write your Congressman! Write super villains Sandman and Venom rumored to be part of the “Spider-Man 3” story arc. Hell, write Darth Vader!
Anyone with super powers will do who can AXE this ultra villainous casting decision.
Or as Darth Vader himself bellowed it so well at the end of “Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith”, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Kaitlin Cooper, "The O.C.'s" New Super Vixen!
‘’Kaitlin Cooper, ‘’The O.C.’s” New Super Vixen!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 19, 2006
As we reported and predicted right here on January 6, 2006, ‘’The O.C.’’ already received a major jump start in January, when it moved back to its original ratings boosting 9:00 pm time slot on Thursday nights starting last Thursday, January 12, 2006 on the Fox Television Network.
And to really spice things up, an old (but very rarely seen) familiar face comes back to literally wreak havoc on Newport.
On tonight’s Thursday, January 19, 2006 episode of “The O.C.”, Kaitlin Cooper-Nichol, the little sister of Marissa Cooper-Nichol, often referred to by name, but who has become the fodder of much satirical wise cracks by fans and critics of ‘’The O.C.’’ alike for her mysterious ability to be spoken of by the other characters on the show, but who is never seen (she was supposedly shipped off to boarding school), is returning.
Newcomer, actress, Willa Holland will put the “B” with a capital, right into the “itch” she imposes on all who become her road kill as Kaitlin takes gleeful pleasure in steamrolling right over the denizens of Newport Beach.
As the saying goes, ‘’you’re not a kid anymore’’ and wait until you see Kaitlin now, shocking and tearing up the folks in good old high society, socially etiquette refined Newport (yeah right!, more like the gossip, rumble, and mud slinging capital of the world!), as a sexy teen vixen, bent on hell raising Cain and terrorizing Marissa, all while turning up the heat on the men of Newport.
In the promos currently airing for the upcoming episodes for this Spring 2006, of Season Three, we finally get to see, the once, innocent, child, Kaitlin, all grown up and ready to rock as Newport’s ascender to the throne of bad girl, heir apparent to Queen Bitch, Julie Cooper-Nichol, (Kaitlin’s dear old mom), as ‘’sweet little’’ Kaitlin icily, steely, brazenly, yet seductively coos to the camera,
‘’I’ve been away, forgotten, ignored, and….left behind. But now, I’m making up for lost time. I won’t be ignored again…. Let’s just say, this town hasn’t seen anything yet. It’s time for me to get mine.’’
Or as Fox announces in referring to her majesty, long live the new and reigning Empress of Evil, Kaitlin Cooper, ‘’Trouble Comes Home!’’
Check out the exclusive promo videos on the Official ‘’The O.C.’’ website at:
http://www.fox.com/oc/
Of course, with ‘’The O.C.’’ being our favorite show and our ultimate guilty pleasure, we welcome Kaitlin’s wrath. Just so long as ‘’O.C.’’ creator Josh Schwartz knows just how much of this character we can take and then sends her packing, back off to never, never land, to well, never be seen of or heard from again.
Remember through three seasons, we have had a revolving introduction of non core, guest characters, some cool, some major duds, but unfortunately, some of them exhausted their welcome, often spending way too much time, taking yummy time away from the central, core characters that we know and love, who make the show so delicious, being, Ryan, Seth, Marissa, Summer, Sandy and Kirsten, Julie and Jimmy.
Please…no more long, drawn out, overdue, hiccupping story arcs like the dreaded OLIVER!!!!, or D.J., or Lindsay! Groan.
Bring Kaitlin in, let her kick some major ass, then haul her out, just like Ryan’s jerk ass no good brother, Trey. Season Two’s bravado timing in its development and riddance of Trey worked out perfectly.
And just in case you missed what we said, Josh…when developing Kaitlin….remember NOT that ‘’the force will always be with you’’, like in ‘’Star Wars’’, but that OLIVER will always be with you. An insideous ghost that will haunt you and us through all ‘’the days of our lives’’. Whoops, that’s another TV soap!
Like we said Josh, food for thought.
Kaitlin, we look forward to your she devil ways!

James Marsters Releases "Words And Music" DVD TODAY, Returns As Brainiac!
‘’James Marsters Releases “Words And Music” DVD TODAY, Returns As Brainiac!”
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 17, 2006
Zap2it.com reports that the one and only, venerable actor, James Marsters, will return to continue the story arc of his role as Krypton super powered villain, Brainiac, on the WB Television Network’s series, “Smallville”.
Brainiac, (posing under the guise of earthling good guy, aka sheep in wolf’s clothing, Professor Milton Fine), was introduced earlier this Season Five, on the series.
Marsters will bring good old bad guy Brainiac back in the “Smallville” upcoming new Spring 2006 episode, titled, “Hypnotic”.
“Hypnotic” will feature Brainiac’s attempts to free the evil General Zod from the Forbidden Zone.
Marsters (best known to an international cult fan base as Spike, the world’s coolest and sexiest British, rocking, leather clad, blond tressed vampire with the sarcastic, quipping veneer exterior and a super size heart of gold, who saved the world from evil forces, on both “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Angel”), and his portrayal of Brainiac have proved a major boost to “Smallville’s” ratings this season, so viewer and fan expectations are high to say the least for MORE hijinx from this most talented, classically trained actor.
We also all know, that one can NEVER get enough or too much of this gifted artist, who as many Marsters fans already know, is a rockin’ singer/songwriter and musician, who this fall 2005, released his own solo music CD, “Civilized Man”, toured across England, Europe, and appeared at some of Los Angeles’s top music clubs performing his songs, and staged his own original, one man musical theatrical show, “James Marsters: Words And Music”, which was a smash in England! (Seems those Brits love our guy as much as we Stateside fans!)
Which leads us to, DRUM ROLL!!!!
TODAY, Tuesday, January 17, 2006, Marsters releases the DVD of his one man show, “Words And Music” showcasing James in all his musical and dramatic glory performing live in London, for some two hours!
The DVD highlights James’s own unique interpretation of Shakespeare’s tragic play, Macbeth, followed by James’s live concert performing several acoustic tunes; his very own self penned NEW songs that he has not yet recorded (but we certainly hope you DO record and release them James!).
You can purchase James’s DVD directly off of his Official website. Both the NTSC and PAL versions are available and we KNOW you want them!
Go to both:
http://www.jamesmarsters.com/home.html
http://www.jamesmarsterslive.com/
James also discusses on his website that he is currently looking into the possibilities of touring and convention dates in 2006!
So keep your eyes popped wide open HERE on this website (and on James’s website!) for the latest updates on sweet baby James!!!!

The Trendsetting Fashionista "O.C."!
The Trendsetting Fashionista “O.C.”!
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 15, 2006
We already know that anyone who wants to keep up with today’s hottest fashion statements and designers need only to tune in to The Fox Television Network’s coolest TV series, EVER, “The O.C.”.
Whether it be stylish trends, new tre’ la oh so chic couture, cutting edge casuals, the latest all that designers, it’s all there weekly on our gorgeous cast members for your viewing pleasure, and to make written notes for yourself for that next shopping trip of yours to the mall or Rodeo Drive, whichever is in your price range.
This week’s January 16, 2006 issue of “TV Guide” has a wonderful two page color photo layout, spread of our ensemble cast and some of the behind the scenes wardrobe and more that makes them sparkle not only for the camera, but for you, and for your latest updates on what’s IN, in style and fashion.
So if you want to dress like the folks on “The O.C.”, turn to pages 42 through 43, for the article and photos “Radar, Stuff We Can’t Live Without: “O.C. Special””.
Catch blue eyed hunk, actor, Benjamin McKenzie, (aka Ryan Atwood), sporting cutting edge, hip hugging Levi’s Capital E 501’s blue jeans looking casual, yet cool and might we add, studly!
Don’t miss luscious actress, Mischa Barton, (aka Marissa Cooper-Nichol), and (one of today’s top fashion icons, gracing the covers of many of the most prestigious international fashion magazines), effortlessly carrying an adorable shoulder strap tote bag by Tylie Malibu.

"The O.C." Invites Anna Back, Marissa Returns To Harbor High School!
““The O.C.” Invites Anna Back, Marissa Returns To Harbor High School!”
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 14, 2006
While some guest characters on the Fox Television Network’s simply scrumptious, “The O.C.” pluck everyone’s (and our) nerves, like the thankfully banished, dreaded Oliver, some guests are so yummy that fans (and us too!) are overjoyed when these characters delight us, returning every now and then as guests by popping in on the Cohen’s and Cooper-Nichol’s clans.
Anna, the smart and spunky, blonde haired adoration of the hearts of “O.C.” fans (like I said, and us included, can’t help it, we find Anna more effervescent than champagne!), and the only woman to tug Seth’s heart as much as Summer, who made us all fall in love with her just as Seth did, only to leave after Seth chose Summer over her in Season One, is BACK!
“TV Guide’s” January 16, 2006 issue confirms indeed, that Anna, our favorite take charge, woman of confidence, portrayed by the wonderfully talented, sparkling actress, Samaire Armstrong, will be returning for a multi-episode storyline, guest appearance arc on “The O.C.”, beginning in April 2006.
Does this mean that Seth will once again be forced to choose between Summer, the girl he has loved since elementary school when he first heard Summer read her poem in his class, or Anna, the whip smart, athletic, comic book loving, definitely NON geek, but gorgeous, doe eyed blonde? Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.
Also, in case you missed it, we thought that last Thursday, January 12, 2006’s episode of “The O.C.” is definitely in our top ten list of the best episodes of all 3 seasons of the series, EVER!
Our beloved Marissa is now BACK, re-enrolled at Harbor High School following her unjust expulsion, thanks to the loyal support, hard work, and efforts of Ryan, Seth, Summer, Dr. Kim (Harbor’s Principal), Dr. Roberts (Summer’s Dad), Taylor Townsend (Yea! She pulled for our girl!), and to quote the words right out of Kirsten’s mouth, “our hero” Sandy Cohen!
Sandy Cohen truly has re-written the book (as magnificently played and in this episode, in particular, with bravura courage of conviction, grace, wisdom, compassion, ethics, and justice by the most esteemed, magnificent actor, Peter Gallagher), on what it means, and what being a lawyer, and a father, is all about.
Too long to detail it here, but in 100 words or less (hey we’re trying here!), Ryan, Seth, and Summer along with Taylor rallied up a schoolwide “Free Marissa” campaign complete with T-shirts plastered with Marissa’s face and their slogan, along with a petition of student signatures to get Coop back into Harbor.
Dr. Kim offered up to Ryan, some information regarding a legal precedent incident of a former Harbor student expelled just as Marissa had been, for carrying a weapon, but who was not doing so out of any criminal intent whatsoever and who also meant no threat or harm to anyone, and thus, that student was allowed re-enrollment at Harbor High School.
And one of Sandy’s colleague’s, Matt Ramsay, dug up some damaging information about the son of self righteous, pious, hypocrite clone of Darth Vader, “hanging” Judge Mercer who was preciding over Marissa’s hearing and appeal to be re-enrolled back at Harbor and who would no doubt take wicked pleasure in denying Marissa’s re-enrollment, just to crush Sandy.
Well, at Marissa’s hearing, Ryan, Seth, Summer, and Taylor rolled out a book long petition signed by all of Harbor’s student body, Ryan proved one heck of a legal eagle, introducing the legal precedent information, Dr. Roberts spoke loud and proud on behalf of Coop.
But, then Sandy entered the hearing with his closing argument. WOW!
Sandy could have taken the low road. He could have played dirty, especially when Judge Mercer openly enjoyed going for Sandy’s jugular at the hearing for sheer twisted sport. Sandy could have told the entire room crammed full of most of Newport’s social elite about Judge Mercer’s criminal son who was expelled from military school for substance abuse and had lost touch with everyone, including dear old Dad, Mercer.
But instead, our hero Sandy took the high road of valor. Sandy spoke Sage like words of heart and mind that spoke not only in support of Marissa, but in support of all teens everywhere, in the best and in the worst of their times when they need our hearts and understanding the very most, including Judge Mercer’s son, and that all deserve a second chance in life. Sandy even helped Judge Mercer with information to put the Judge in touch with his long lost son. Wow! (We know! But we HAD to say it again!)
Of course, even Judge Mercer was moved by Sandy’s as well as everyone else’s kind and just words, and so he allowed Marissa to once again, attend Harbor High School.
So, we ended exuberantly and triumphantly, overflowing with happiness to see Marissa, Ryan, Seth, Summer, and all of the Class of 2006 of Harbor High, posing for their High School yearbook photo as, well we cried like a baby (really!)
Yes….we MUST give credit where it is due. To “O.C.” Creator Josh Schwartz, we have to say that Season Three has recaptured all of the magic we loved of Season One! You, our friend, are most definitely back and this episode was a glorious triumph!
Folks, we make NO apologies for getting all mushy on you, but the January 12, 2006 episode is a KEEPER…one that when Season 3 of “The O.C.” comes out on DVD, you will want to watch again and again. A parable about truth, justice, hope, compassion, loyalty, and friendship!
Welcome to “The O.C.” fans, friends, and everyone!
WOW!!!!

It's Official! "Aquaman" Gets His Very Own TV Series!
‘’It’s Official! “Aquaman” Gets His Own TV Series!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 12, 2006
You heard right! Zap2it.com reports that everyone’s favorite deep sea born super hero is getting his own television series, thanks to the overwhelming viewer ratings and response to “Aquaman’s” guest appearance on an October 2005 episode of the WB Network’s hit series, ‘’Smallville’’, where the water loving crime fighter helped Clark Kent (aka Superman) battle some nasty villains.
TV newcomer, actor, Will Toale, who has an impressive resume of film and theater credits, including parts in the recent films, ‘’Uptown Girls’’ and ‘’Tempting Adam’’, as well as an esteemed role on Broadway in ‘’A Streetcar Named Desire’’ will fill the gills of the Atlantis native, with the debut episode targeting production to begin sometime this March 2006, in Miami, Florida.
Toale will portray everyday, mild mannered, twenty something, Arthur Curry, who works in a scuba diving store. Just as ‘’Smallville’’ has done with the Clark Kent/Superman saga, the “Aquaman” series will focus on a young Curry as he first becomes aware of and then thus, masters his special powers and abilities, gradually maturing from youth to manhood, all while he fights injustice and protects the innocent from evil.
The WB Television Network will also be the home of the “Aquaman” series, and will likewise be written by ‘’Smallville’’ collaborators and creators, Miles Millar and Al Gough.
If the “Aquaman” series is anywhere as smart, savvy, and yes, romantic, as ‘’Smallville’’ is STILL continuing to be, now in its fifth successful season, we can’t wait to tune in!
Here’s hoping the show’s writers include a celestial lady love as steamy as Lana Lang and a nemesis as cold blooded and dastardly as Lex Luthor to keep “Aquaman” busy, along with a regular weekly dose of super powered henchmen and villains to keep us glued to the edge of our seat.
Just one thing. We wonder what the series title will be? Miami sure isn’t ‘’Smallville’’. How about ‘’Big Beach!’’ (just kidding folks!). How about ‘’The Prince Of Tides’’? Oh yeah, that title has already been taken for the best selling Pat Conroy book and blockbuster film. Crikey!
Anyways, whatever it’s called, we’re definitely looking forward to the incredible adventures of “Aquaman” in his very own TV series!

The Goods On The Villains Of "Spider-Man 3!"
‘’The Goods On The Villains Of ‘’Spider-Man 3!’’’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 10, 2006
VH1.com reports the major goods, or rather the theories to date, surrounding the baddies who will take on the legendary web spinning super hero in the upcoming ‘’Spider-Man 3’’, targeted for a 2007 release date.
Actor James Franco, who played Peter Parker’s (aka Spider-Man’s) former friend, Harry Osborn, who first tried to steal the heart of Peter’s life love gal pal, Mary Jane Watson in the original, first ‘’Spider-Man’’, then went off the deep end after learning Spidey had killed Harry’s dear old dad Norman (aka major bad guy! The Green Goblin), in the film’s second part and sequel, ‘’Spider-Man 2’’, is offering ambiguous insight without spilling the beans on who the villains will be in the 3rd film in the legendary, comic book, hero franchise.
Though actress Kirsten Dunst recently let it slip to MTV News that ‘’I think we have....I’m going to say two and a half bad guys. Because I think one of them is resurrected. But, yeah, two and a half bad guys, I think, about in this movie.’’….
Franco tells VH1.com and admits that, ‘’She probably shouldn’t have said that. She actually got into some trouble for that. I think she got into trouble for revealing that, so I probably shouldn’t repeat that mistake.’’
So what IS confirmed about the villains or anything for that matter in ‘’Spider-Man 3’’? Well, actors already confirmed for the anticipated blockbuster include, why of course, enigmatic, sparkling, talented, gorgeous, blue eyed actor, Tobey Maguire as our favorite iconic, ‘’friendly neighborhood’’ hero, reprising his role for the third time, along with Franco and Dunst, rounding out the ensemble.
Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace are also on tap. No official word from the folks involved with production on the film as to WHO those two actors are playing, but according to VH1.com, numerous internet sites are speculating and homing in on the theories that the actors are filling the dastardly shoes of Sandman and Venom.
The baddie half that Dunst mentioned, MIGHT be the resurrection of one of the two villains offed in the first two ‘’Spider-Man’’ flicks. The Green Goblin in ‘’Spider-Man’’ and Doc Ock from ‘’Spider-Man 2’’.
But, you never know and don’t forget that in the land of Hollywood, screenwriters can conjure up and create NEW twists, turns, and characters to liven up a franchise and leave us surprised with our jaws dropping! That’s just our opinion weighing in here.
Franco lets on about his own character, Harry Osborn, that, he doesn’t know if this is the end or not for Harry, ‘’But the character definitely goes to interesting places.’’
Franco also recently did some pre-production test filming for the movie, because the masterminds behind ‘’Spider-Man 3’’ are in the process of creating new special effects just for this 3rd chapter, that Franco was said to be involved in, which leads some to believe that Harry will be exhibiting some spine tingling evil superpowers in his role, offering some satisfying meat that fans can really sink their teeth into.
And if this isn’t enough to get your Spidey motor revved, there is already talk of a ‘’Spider-Man 4!’’.
All we can say is, we can’t wait! Spidey, go get those bad guys, get the girl, (and Peter and Mary Jane…PLEASE finally hook up! A hero and girl next door can multi-task and find time for their love while fighting crime!), all while still saving the day!

"Narnia" Film Sequel In The Works!
‘’’’Narnia’’ Film Sequel In The Works!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 7, 2006
Great news for everyone who has become enchanted with the film adaptation of ‘’The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe’’!
The January 13, 2006 issue of ‘’Entertainment Weekly Magazine’’ reports that there are now official plans to develop and film a sequel to ‘’Narnia’’!
The Walt Disney Company, who produced the lush, epic parable and fable originally penned by children’s author, C. S. Lewis, is thrilled with ‘’Narnia’s’’ blockbuster $226 million domestic gross as of this week, that has put it officially on the map as one of the few films to open in 2005, (one of the worst years ever for domestic box office receipts in the history of the film industry), to overwhelming box office receipts, exceeding all revenue gross expectations.
So Disney now has concrete plans to film the 4th book based on C.S. Lewis’s seven volume ‘’Narnia’’ saga, ‘’Prince Caspian’’.
Original ‘’Narnia’’ Director Andrew Adamson, though not yet confirmed as signed on to direct, is said to be in discussions to direct ‘’Prince Caspian’’. Count on all four of the original ensemble cast of child actors who portrayed the Pevensie brothers and sisters in ‘’Narnia’’, William Moseley, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, and Anna Popplewell, to bring their sprightly, bravado magic to ‘’Caspian’’, as all have already inked an official deal and signed on to reprise their roles for the sequel.
The film’s producers are shooting for a projected Christmas 2007 release date for the movie.
We are more than applauding this news and while we previously noted in our own 12/7/2005 editorial article, ‘’Great Expectations For The Chronicles Of Narnia’’, of course the pressure is likewise on for ‘’Prince Caspian’’ to keep the bar raised just as high and stellar, if not to out do its predecessor. We are more than anticipating and awaiting its glorious release with high hopes!
‘’Narnia’’ was the only film to knock ‘’Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire’’ out of the number one box office draw position, where ‘’Harry Potter’’ had originally reigned, unstoppable (or untoppable rather!) for three weeks, when ‘’Narnia’’ exercised its own charmed sorcery, rightfully claiming the box office throne at the number one spot.
And while ‘’Narnia’’ slipped by a nose, at only a million or so, down to the number two position by the mammoth weight of Director Peter Jackson’s remake of ‘’King Kong’’, for two weeks, this past week, ‘’Narnia’’ reclaimed the number one box office spot once more and edged right past ‘’Kong’’, earning a reported $32.848 million for the weekend of Friday, December 30, 2005 through Monday, January 2, 2006!
Disney has reported that ‘’Narnia’’ may in fact become its highest domestic grossing film ever, even taking on Disney’s own ‘’The Lion King’’ amongst other favorite Disney iconic classics, to also be firmly installed as an equally iconic, film classic among the Disney catalog and legacy of timeless, family film parables that Disney is legendary for in its near century long career of film making.
As for C.S. Lewis, we hope that his kindred spirit is smiling with joy over an entire new generation, in a new millennium no less, discovering the wonders, wizardry, and inspirational messages for the ages, of his writings being brought to life on the silver screen with equal parts dazzling visual imagery and heart string tugging passion, emotion, courage of conviction, and intelligence.

Great news for everyone who has become enchanted with the film adaptation of ‘’The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe’’!
The January 13, 2006 issue of ‘’Entertainment Weekly Magazine’’ reports that there are now official plans to develop and film a sequel to ‘’Narnia’’!
The Walt Disney Company, who produced the lush, epic parable and fable originally penned by children’s author, C. S. Lewis, is thrilled with ‘’Narnia’s’’ blockbuster $226 million domestic gross as of this week, that has put it officially on the map as one of the few films to open in 2005, (one of the worst years ever for domestic box office receipts in the history of the film industry), to overwhelming box office receipts, exceeding all revenue gross expectations.
So Disney now has concrete plans to film the 4th book based on C.S. Lewis’s seven volume ‘’Narnia’’ saga, ‘’Prince Caspian’’.
Original ‘’Narnia’’ Director Andrew Adamson, though not yet confirmed as signed on to direct, is said to be in discussions to direct ‘’Prince Caspian’’. Count on all four of the original ensemble cast of child actors who portrayed the Pevensie brothers and sisters in ‘’Narnia’’, William Moseley, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, and Anna Popplewell, to bring their sprightly, bravado magic to ‘’Caspian’’, as all have already inked an official deal and signed on to reprise their roles for the sequel.
The film’s producers are shooting for a projected Christmas 2007 release date for the movie.
We are more than applauding this news and while we previously noted in our own 12/7/2005 editorial article, ‘’Great Expectations For The Chronicles Of Narnia’’, of course the pressure is likewise on for ‘’Prince Caspian’’ to keep the bar raised just as high and stellar, if not to out do its predecessor. We are more than anticipating and awaiting its glorious release with high hopes!
‘’Narnia’’ was the only film to knock ‘’Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire’’ out of the number one box office draw position, where ‘’Harry Potter’’ had originally reigned, unstoppable (or untoppable rather!) for three weeks, when ‘’Narnia’’ exercised its own charmed sorcery, rightfully claiming the box office throne at the number one spot.
And while ‘’Narnia’’ slipped by a nose, at only a million or so, down to the number two position by the mammoth weight of Director Peter Jackson’s remake of ‘’King Kong’’, for two weeks, this past week, ‘’Narnia’’ reclaimed the number one box office spot once more and edged right past ‘’Kong’’, earning a reported $32.848 million for the weekend of Friday, December 30, 2005 through Monday, January 2, 2006!
Disney has reported that ‘’Narnia’’ may in fact become its highest domestic grossing film ever, even taking on Disney’s own ‘’The Lion King’’ amongst other favorite Disney iconic classics, to also be firmly installed as an equally iconic, film classic among the Disney catalog and legacy of timeless, family film parables that Disney is legendary for in its near century long career of film making.
As for C.S. Lewis, we hope that his kindred spirit is smiling with joy over an entire new generation, in a new millennium no less, discovering the wonders, wizardry, and inspirational messages for the ages, of his writings being brought to life on the silver screen with equal parts dazzling visual imagery and heart string tugging passion, emotion, courage of conviction, and intelligence.

Caitlin Cooper Spells Trouble On ''The O.C.!''
‘’Caitlin Cooper Spells Trouble On ‘’The O.C.!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright January 6, 2006
‘’The O.C.’’ will get a major jump start in January, when it moves back to its original ratings boosting 9:00 pm time slot on Thursday nights starting this Thursday, January 12, 2006 on the Fox Television Network.
And to really spice things up, an old (but very rarely seen) familiar face comes back to literally wreak havoc on Newport.
Caitlin Cooper-Nichol, the little sister of Marissa Cooper-Nichol, often referred to by name, but who has become the fodder of much satirical wise cracks by fans and critics of ‘’The O.C.’’ alike for her mysterious ability to be spoken of by the other characters on the show, but who is never seen (she was supposedly shipped off to boarding school), is returning.
But as the saying goes, ‘’you’re not a kid anymore’’ and wait until you see Caitlin now, shocking and tearing up the folks in good old high society, socially etiquette refined Newport (yeah right!, more like the gossip, rumble, and mud slinging capital of the world!), as a sexy teen vixen, bent on hell raising Cain and terrorizing Marissa, all while turning up the heat on the men of Newport.
In the promos currently airing for the upcoming episodes on Season Three, we finally get to see, the once, innocent, child, Caitlin, all grown up and ready to rock as Newport’s ascender to the throne of bad girl, heir apparent to Queen Bitch, Julie Cooper-Nichol, (Caitlin’s dear old mom), as ‘’sweet little’’ Caitlin icily, steely, brazenly, yet seductively coos to the camera,
‘’I’ve been away, forgotten, ignored, and….left behind. But now, I’m making up for lost time. I won’t be ignored again…. Let’s just say, this town hasn’t seen anything yet. It’s time for me to get mine.’’
Or as Fox announces in referring to her majesty, long live the new and reigning Empress of Evil, Caitlin Cooper, ‘’Trouble Comes Home!’’

Of course, with ‘’The O.C.’’ being our favorite show and our ultimate guilty pleasure, we welcome Caitlin’s wrath. Just so long as ‘’O.C.’’ creator Josh Schwartz knows just how much of this character we can take and then sends her packing, back off to never, never land, to well, never be seen of or heard from again.
Remember through three seasons, we have had a revolving introduction of non core characters, some cool, some major duds, but all who exhausted their welcome, spending too much time, taking yummy time away from the central, core characters who make the show so delicious, being, Ryan, Seth, Marissa, Summer, Sandy and Kirsten, Julie and Jimmy.
Please…no more long, drawn out, overdue, hiccupping story arcs like the dreaded OLIVER!!!!, or D.J., or Lindsay! Groan.
Bring Caitlin in, let her kick some major ass, then haul her out, just like Ryan’s jerk ass no good brother, Trey. Season Two’s bravado timing in its development and riddance of Trey worked out perfectly.
And just in case you missed what we said, Josh…when developing Caitlin….remember NOT that ‘’the force will always be with you’’, like in ‘’Star Wars’’, but that OLIVER will always be with you. An insideous ghost that will haunt you and us through all ‘’the days of our lives’’. Whoops, that’s another TV soap!
Like we said Josh, food for thought.
Caitlin, we look forward to your she devil ways!
