Apparently, Verizon, really, really wants me to watch House tonight, since they are airing in on NBC (where my DVR think's it's Chuck) as well as FOX. Very odd.

For anyone interested in that sort of thing, Newsarama has an interview with James Marsters about his role on Caprica and various other things. I found it interesting that he thinks that character of Angel was one that David Greenwalt talked Joss into, which I've never heard before, but I'm not sure he'd know.
