Looks like Heroes is getting injected with a lot--a hell lot.  Four names have been thrown into the pot and set to play roles in the upcoming fourth season of the show.

First up is a familiar villain, at least to those who have seen Prison Break: Robert Knepper has signed on to play Samuel, previous referred to as the "Carnival Barker" in previous releases.  For at least six episodes, we'll see this charismatic guy wreck havoc on all the heroes by peeking into all of their lives.  That, and he's evil, and he's got a very wicked sense of humor.

Last night, television's only lesbian drama ended after 70 episodes and six seasons. The two-hour block given to The L Word was split up into a one-hour tribute episode and a one-hour series finale. The first hour hailed the series as groundbreaking and as a show worthy of the history books. The drama starring Jennifer Beals, Laurel Holloman, Katherine Moennig, Mia Kirshner, Leisha Hailey and Pam Grier was the first television show to explore the lives and loves of lesbians in West Hollywood as well as the first series with a deaf-lesbian character and a regularly occurring transsexual character. The L Word fans across the nation tuned-in in the hopes of seeing a wedding, a funeral, a baby, or at least a murder case solved. Major Spoilers Below:

The final season of the Showtime gay show The L Word will come to a close tonight ending six seasons of what creator and executive producer Ilene Chaiken calls “a groundbreaking series that well surpassed its niche as a gay show.”  In the episode “Last Word,” the girls will reportedly find themselves in a situation with the law, while Sergeant Duffy (Lucy Lawless) investigates Jenny's (Mia Kirshner) death, where someone will take the fall.

“It has been a privilege to do this series and tell these stories and have these characters in my life and to share them with the show's passionate fans,” says Showtime Entertainment president Robert Greenblatt, adding that he is proud of the show's legacy.  "The title of the show became part of the lexicon, and the breadth and reach of the characters and storylines are a testament to the talent of Ilene Chaiken and her incredible cast.”

Previously on The L Word, Tina (Laurel Holloman) got blamed for the missing movie negatives due to her frustration over the film's new ending.  Though she eventually suspected that Jenny (Mia Kirshner) stole them, Jenny denied it and proved that she's not allowed on studio grounds anymore.  Phyllis (Cybill Shepherd) let Bette (Jennifer Beals) in on a secret, and Kit (Pam Grier) and Helena's (Rachel Shelley) new club opened. But the biggest story of the night was the budding romance between Jenny and Shane (Katherine Moennig).

Tonight's episode called “Leaving Los Angeles” finds Shane and Jenny still melting over each other.  The question is: how long will it last?  It seems that Jenny wants Shane to do away with past associations and if Shane doesn't live up to Jenny's expectations, then the relationship is likely to end quickly.

The L Word kicked off its sixth and final season with a murder mystery that paved the way for a major story arc that would play out the rest of the season. Jenny was found dead and because of this, the lives of everyone around her are turned upside down, especially since they are also suspects.  Of course, viewers didn't find out who killed Jenny in the premiere episode.  Instead, the series will be featuring a lot of flashbacks of the months leading up to the murder so viewers can put the pieces together.

Last time we saw The L Word, Bette (Jennifer Beals) encountered an old college friend which made Tina (Laurel Holloman) question who much she trusts her partner while the revenge-seeking Jodi continued to frustrate Bette.  Max (Daniela Sea), on the other hand, received the most disappointing news after learning that she's four months pregnant.

Today the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation released its nominees for the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Aside from the usual television nominees like The L Word and Ugly Betty, there was one atypical nominee: Supernatural.

The GLAAD Media Awards have a special category for an individual episode of a show that doesn't feature a regular gay character. Supernatural was nominated for “Ghostfacers,” the faux reality TV series episode that featured intern Corbett (current 90210 jock Dustin Milligan) who had a gay infatuation with Ed, resulting in the classic line, “Ed, you have to go be gay for that poor dead intern.”
