Are you ready for absolute knowledge? At the risk of breaking your brain, we're going to bombard you with insane spoilers — including the names of two surprising guest stars in Doctor Who. We also give away the secret superpower of a new Heroes character, and a key scene in the pilot for Joss Whedon's programmable-amnesiac-agent show Dollhouse. Not only that, but we glimpse the Lost season finale. And there are new pics from X-Files 2, Spectacular Spider-Man and Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York. Spoilers on the march!
X-Files 2:
Here are some new stills from July's X-Files: I Want To Believe, including a canoodly looking moment between Mulder and Scully. So much for the official "the-kissing-scene-was-fake" line. Unless this is just more misinformation, which I doubt. [Slashfilm]
Synecdoche, New York:
Here's one new pic from Charlie Kaufman's new film Synecdoche, New York, featuring Catherine Keener and Philip Seymour Hoffman. [Slashfilm again]
Heroes:
That new character on Heroes you heard about? The impulsive girl named Joy? She's a villain whose superpower is super-speed, like The Flash. She meets Hiro in an art museum. He asks her if she has a superpower, and whether she's trying to steal some art. She convinces poor gullible Hiro that she's legit... and then runs off with a bunch of paintings. [E! Online]
Dollhouse:
Dollhouse did a two-day location shoot, mostly at night, at a Spanish Mission Revival-style house in L.A.'s Miracle Mile district, which doubles as FBI agent Paul (Tahmoh Penikett)'s apartment, where he first meets Eliza Dushku's Echo, and they have their first fight scene. Paul is obsessed with finding out about the Dollhouse, and becomes a sort of love interest for Echo. [E! Online again]
Lost:
The first installment of the three-hour Lost finale, airing May 15, features the beginning of "the face-off between the survivors and the freighter people." [Spoilers Lost]
Also, there's a super-secret scene coming up involving Sawyer, which is the "game-changer" that leads to the end of those flash-forwards. And Kearny survives at least until the first part of the season finale. Also, Charlotte has a "big, crazy scene" with someone interesting in the next episode. [E! Online again]
And here are some photos from the season finale. Looks like Sun and Kate take turns holding Aaron. [Doc Arzt]
Doctor Who:
The Doctor Who season finale will not only feature returning companions Rose, Martha, Sarah Jane, Captain Jack, Mickey and Jackie — it'll also co-star Gwen and Ianto from Torchwood. That prediction is supposedly included in the new issue of England's Death Ray magazine, but I can't read it online. (If you're in the UK and have a copy, can you email me?) Also, the magazine claims that Davros is back, and we'll visit the Dalek's homeworld of Skaro (which has been destroyed, like, twice now.) [Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles]
And once again, Digital Spy is releasing a mixture of real and fake spoilers for Saturday's episode. I'm guessing it's true that Donna's mom wields an axe, we see some of the Sontarans' arch-enemies (the Rutans) in a flashback, UNIT prepares a nuclear strike, Donna punches the real Martha thinking she's the fake one, and Sergey Brin has a "mating program" for his baby geniuses.

Spectacular Spider-Man:
Here's what Doctor Octopus will look like on this Saturday's Spectacular Spider-Man:
