ivyficEven though I bet most of you know this already,
I have mentioned before that the casting of James Marsters as Brainiac in Smallville this season seems like blatant Buffy fan pandering. I offer now an alternative explanation. According to a source not at all in the industry but who seems to know these things, the WB is casting Marsters in Smallville to prevent him from taking on new projects while they negotiate a Spike movie/mini-series/spin-off series/whatever. I don't pretend to claim this is the real reason, but it could be the reason. How sneaky of the WB.
