Here’s some spoilers [SPOILERS] for Doctor Who’s season four. I’ll say only two words: “test tube.”

A contractual conflict of interest, not the quality of performance, is the reason behind Will Arnett no longer being the voice of K.I.T.T. The new talking car is a Ford Mustang, and Ford will be pretty heavy in the marketing of, and being marketed by, the Knight Rider sequel. But Arnett is the voice of GMC Trucks, so GM has asked him to leave the TV movie. Val Kilmer will be replacing him. It premieres February 17, at 9 pm.

Joshua Jackson will play Peter Bishop (The son of the institutionalized scientist) in Fringe.

Jewel Staite will continue playing, up 'til now recurring character, Dr. Jennifer Kellerbe as a full time cast member in Stargate: Atlantis' fifth season.

Hayden Panettiere has said that, despite the end of the strike, there will be no more episodes for Heroes’ second season, which had only eleven of the planned twenty-four. The third season should start in September.

Two other shows not affected by the end of the strike are The Riches and Dirt. Both will only have seven episodes for their second seasons.

Meanwhile on Lost… According to Matthew Fox, with the writers back, more episodes will be taping in the spring bringing the episode count up to twelve. Also that JJ Abrams will be back to direct one of the episodes.

TV Guide has a list of the shows impacted by the end of the strike.

While there’s nothing solid, Samuel L. Jackson has said “[He] would love to” reprise the role of Mace Windu for the CGI Clone Wars series if offered.
