X-Men star Hugh Jackman is set to go from comic book character to comic book creator after teaming up with screenwriter Marc Guggenheim for a new sci-fi thriller. The Aussie actor, who plays Wolverine in the X-Men films and is currently reprising the hairy character in a spin-off movie, has developed a new series for Virgin Comics, called "Nowhere Man."

The project is a joint venture between Jackman and Guggenheim, who adapted the Wolverine story for the big screen.

Details of "Nowhere Man" are being kept secret, but Virgin Comics officials describe the story as "a sci-fi odyssey ...

Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) used to have visions about George Michael, the beach and church choirs. Sure they were odd, but they were also harmless. Unfortunately, those nice and fuzzy visions are now a thing of the past. This week on "Eli Stone," Eli is confronted with something much darker and deadlier - a gigantic, ferocious, fire-breathing dragon! The dragon is a nice touch, but it would have been a lot cooler if it was voiced by Sean Connery. "I am the last one!"

The dragon mystery is not one of Eli's more complex visions. The newly demoted Stone takes a break from life in his bra...

It's Thursday night, so you know what that means? Time for another horrendous episode of "Eli Stone," right? In this wild and crazy world that we live in, it's nice to have something to depend upon. Only this week, ol' Eli decided to throw us a little curveball. This week, the episode wasn't terrible. In fact, it actually bordered on decent. Quite shocking.

Pleading his case

Things are not going so well for Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller). Not only are his strange visions persisting, but he is now facing a hearing with possible disbarment. To top it all off, he even has a l...

The episode begins with a standard "previously on Eli Stone" recap as opposed to the creative, Eli-narrated openings from weeks prior. Too bad, those were pretty much the only interesting component of the show. So anyway, after the generic recap, things start off with Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) and Maggie (Julie Gonzalo) in Hawaii. It doesn't appear to be a very pleasant trip as it takes less than a minute for Maggie to start being obnoxiously annoying. It's going to be a long hour.

After a brief opening scene, the clever writers insert a little time jump, and we go back three days. ...

Every episode of "Eli Stone" begins with a recap narrated by good ol' Eli (Jonny Lee Miller). The spot changes every episode, and this week Eli starts out by proclaiming his story to be something truly different. If by different, Eli means repetitive and sleep inducing, then he's absolutely right. If that is the case, "Eli Stone" is downright unique.

2 for 1

It seems like the writers decided that one controversial issue per episode was not enough, so this week we got two! Please try to contain your excitement. Having two separate cases constituted a change of pace for the ser...

So much for singing and dancing on "Eli Stone." Eli's (Jonny Lee Miller) visions take a grisly turn this week as this time he gets thrust into the middle of a war zone (seems like WW II). Apparently, the not-so-cryptic message he receives is that he is supposed to rescue a Private Swain and take some ridge. That's all well and good; but no George Michael song? What a gyp.

So this time it doesn't take Eli half the episode to figure out his quest, only about 10 minutes. He is supposed to represent Private Felicia Swain, a member of the National Guard who is serving in Iraq and also ...

Angelina Jolie's actor ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller is to marry for the second time - to actress Michele Hicks.

The couple will seal their union in a "very small ceremony" in London in the spring. The British star, 35, and Hicks, 34, are "looking forward to married life", a friend tells Star magazine.

Pals Ewan McGregor and Jude Law are expected to attend the wedding, but Jolie - who was married to Miller from 1996 to 1999 - isn't.

After a pilot featuring a drug company whose vaccinations caused Autism (an episode that collected quite a few complaints), what issue did the writers of "Eli Stone" tackle this week? Illegal immigration, of course! Creator Greg Berlanti sure does love controversy.

Where were we?

At the end of the pilot, Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) was off in the Himalayas, leaving his father's ashes in their final resting place. Episode two picks up at that point, with a satisfied and relieved ex-prophet. He has won a lawsuit, discovered a brain aneurysm and made peace with his long dead father....

Meet Eli Stone

Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) has a pretty nice life. He is an intelligent, sophisticated graduate of Stanford Law who is one of the top associates at a very successful law firm in San Francisco. He has a beautiful fiancée (Natasha Henstridge) who also happens to be the boss' daughter. He believes in owning a great wardrobe, having fine accessories and working hard. Only one problem - that's not who he wanted to be.

When he was younger, Eli had visions of changing the world. Instead of working for noble causes, however, he finds himself working for clients who, ...

Pop superstar George Michael has learned he wasn't the first choice to play actor Jonny Lee Miller's musical conscience in quirky new TV show Eli Stone - producers approached Phil Collins before him.

The Faith singer, who appears to Miller's troubled lawyer character in dream sequences, reveals he wasn't television bosses go-to guy because they felt sure he'd turn them down.

Michael says, "Apparently, the studio didn't think I'd say yes. They wrote it for Phil Collins, I think."

But producers needn't have fretted - Michael accepted the job as soon as they offered it to him.
...

You've got to have faith. If that little gem wasn't pounded into us enough during this latest episode of Grey's Anatomy then just sit through the commercials and see George Michael singing it to the guy from Hackers.

What I Enjoyed:

-Just give Chandra Wilson an Emmy now. Bailey's voice over in the beginning was a light hearted contrast to the blows the doctor was dealt this entire episode, from her son's injury (possibly caused by her negligence) to her crumbling marriage. My friend told me once that an estimated 80% of marriages end in divorce when one spouse is a medical residen...

With DVR "To Do" lists rapidly shrinking as most shows head into reruns and no new episodes in sight, it might seem like there's nothing to watch.

For the next couple of weeks that may be true, but the broadcast networks have rolled out new, strike-edited winter schedules for our viewing pleasure. A multitude of reality shows provide cheap and easy ways to fill in scheduling holes.

Before you groan or let hours of your life disappear while you watch "The Baby Borrowers," take a look at some of the new and returning scripted offerings coming to your television as early as January...
