Superheroes are back on NBC, and this time they're a lot more fun than those mopey Heroes types. The over-the-top characters -- masked vigilante The Cape, reptilian gangster Scales, the Carnival of Crime -- are just what the doctor ordered, and we're excited to watch a new show mythology take shape. As such, we jumped at the chance to talk one-on-one with former Terminator Summer Glau (who plays blogger and Cape-helper Orwell) and Tron Legacy's James Frain (who plays criminal mastermind Chess). Read on to find out about the little girl inside Orwell, Chess's one super power, and why Glau wants to join the circus.

Today's news brings several oddly pleasant surprises. 24 on NBC? Degrassi as a telenovela? John Voight as a TV star? Daddy, is this real life?

It's a good day for TV nerd news. Vampire Diaries, Fringe, Smallville, Dollhouse, Firefly, Charmed, Terminator, Doctor Who -- all magnificently nerdy, and all tied into nerd-newsworthy announcements.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! For some of us, anyway. Halloween is a beloved holiday for many a person, if only because many of our favorite TV shows give us a Halloween-centric storyline, and Castle is among the faithful. Last night's episode was packed with faux-supernatural goodness after Castle and Beckett investigated a corpse found in a cemetery with real vampire teeth and a stake through his heart. Castle made a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference pretty much the minute he saw the body (later giving a brief summary of the vampire-Lycan feud from Underworld), but the first Joss Whedon reference of the night came before they even found the body. Castle tried on an old Halloween costume, and it was the full outfit for Mal Reynolds, his old role on Firefly! The back-and-forth with his daughter about his old "space cowboy" costume is priceless, and the scene just generally made us feel all warm and fuzzy. Check it out below, then watch the rest of the episode.

Tonight is the season finale of V, and we were looking forward to some kind of massive shift in the status quo -- possibly the aliens being revealed as lizards, possibly the fleet parked behind Mars getting bored and invading. But after talking to the show's star Morena Baccarin ("Anna"), our hope is fading. While she was very friendly, her description of a dinner party as a "big thing" that happens in the episode already has us dozing off. Still, we'll give her the benefit of the doubt, because she was on Firefly and has therefore earned our good will. So read our short, spoiler-free exchange with the Visitor with the sexiest haircut before tuning in for tonight's finale.

The casting was brilliant -- get perpetual nice guy Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Death at a Funeral) to play a wacky environmental engineer on Dollhouse, then have him pull a 180 and stand revealed as psychotic ex-Doll Alpha. It was a casting decision that was Whedonesque in its brilliance, and would have been one heck of a shock... if we hadn't found out about it in advance. The spoiler didn't make Tudyk's performance less hypnotic, however, and we can't wait to see where he and Echo will end up at the end of this week's season finale, "Omega." We got to talk to him on a media conference call about the finale, the leak and even the remake of V he'll be appearing in. The last one he couldn't say much about, but we're sure it will all be on the Internet soon enough.
