Alex Lambert" />We love it when passionate viewers fight for their Idol favorites.

An Alex Lambert petition posted to Change.org asks American Idol producers to bring Alex back to the show, after his surprising elimination on Thursday night.

The petition is getting some buzz today after it was posted by one disappointed fan.  Jessica's goal was to get 7500 signatures. At the time of this post, 7210 signatures had been added.

"The signatures on this petition are not expected to be taken lightly," the petition says. "But instead, as a serious cause of action in bringing Alex Lambert back onto American Idol before the season ends."

What do you think about Alex's elimination? Do you think producers should bring him back? Let me know in the comments!

It's hard to believe it's been over twenty years since William Shatner midwifed the TekWar franchise into existence with cowriter Ron Goulart, and now, like all things Eighties, it's being rebooted in a darker hue.

TekWar (1989) was the first of 9 novels published by Putnam over the next eight years. In the same period Marvel Comics published a TekWar title, and Shatner and Greg Evigan starred in a syndicated season of TekWar and a string of related TV movies. And then, TekWar subsided, though it was still very much alive as a corner of sci-fi fandom.

Independent comics producer Bluewater Productions, as a logical progression of its previously announced William Shatner Presents title, is now attempting to revive the Tek franchise with a new graphic novel loosely based on the original story, TekWar Chronicles: Plague of Ghosts, cowritten by Shatner and Scott Davis and illustrated by Erich Owen. Bluewater says it's the first in a regular monthly series, which will eventually include completely original Tek material. Read more...

Summer Glau (Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse) will costar in the pilot movie for The Cape, NBC's return to a more traditional superhero-themed drama after the failure of Heroes.

The concept is that Vince Faraday, a former cop (the bright-eyed Australian actor David Lyons, who was Simon Brenner on ER and Sam on Day One), is accused of being a criminal and becomes a superhero to clear his name. Glau has been cast as Orwell, an investigative blogger who goes after corrupt cops and costumed villains.

Lest you scoff that blogging is too staid a profession for our butt-kicking ex-Terminator, we're assured that Glau gets quite physical in The Cape as well.

The pilot is being set up as a TV movie and is being directed by Simon West, the writer-director of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider; he's recently been toiling on Human Target. The writer is Tom Wheeler (Empire, Captain Cook's Extraordinary Atlas).

Also cast: James Frain (Cromwell from The Tudors and Eli from Invasion) and Jennifer Ferrin (who played Rose Tyler--no, not that Rose Tyler, the recurring character of Sam Tyler's mom from Life on Mars).

Meanwhile, in another Firefly-related casting note: NBC has also nabbed Alan Tudyk to play Becker on its revamp of The Rockford Files from House creator David Shore. The lead is being played by Dermot Mulroney.
