Julia Stiles to Join Dexter
Entertainment Weekly has broken the news that Julia Stiles is in final talks to join the cast of Dexter for its fifth season.

Early Backbreaker Impressions
I've spent the majority of the day with Backbreaker (PS3 version). For those of you who played the demo on the 360 the final version is comparable to that.

ABC Considering Reboot of Alias
E Online is reporting on a rumor that ABC is talking about the idea of rebooting Alias. The JJ Abrams series ran on the network for five seasons from 2001-2006. It is unknown whether Abrams would be involved given he is in the midst of launching his new series Undercovers for NBC. The thinking is that a new Alias could fill an audience void which looms large now that Lost has concluded.
