Yep PK , the episode Guilt Trip (s5 -15) airs in the US on Feb 13th . Tomorrows ep on C5 here is Jack Of All Trades which is ep 4 , which means , by my calculations that JM's ep will be shown here on April 17th . Interesting snippets here with some interesting guests and directors listed www.tvrage.com/Numb3rs/episode_guide

Confirmation of the US airdate is up at JM's site:
NUMB3RS James will be appearing in the NUMB3RS episode "Guilt Trip" (When Robin's seemingly strong case against a weapons smuggler falls apart, the team decides to look into the jury who heard the case) on Friday, Feb 13 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

zap2it have gone a bit bonkers, and I take issue with some of their findings! James Marsters guest stars on Numb3rs and Eliza Dushku debuts on the new Joss Whedon drama Dollhouse on Friday, Feb. 13. This makes me nostalgic for the Spike vs. Faith days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Of course, they're not reprising their Buffy roles and aren't even playing supernatural beings, but a girl can dream, right? How can you not want to relive the vamp and slayer going mano a mano?
Don't remember? Check out the Spike vs. Faith fight below (with musical accompaniment)[see it at the link, folks - PK]
On Dollhouse, Dushku plays an "active" or "doll" named Echo who gets implanted with a personality in order to fulfill a client's mission or "engagement." After each job is done, she gets her memory wiped through a "treatment." In the premiere, we see her take on two very different personalities that have varying effects on her well being.
On Numb3rs, Marsters plays big wig Damian Lake who owns Consultants International and is suspected of selling illegal weapons in 16 countries. When the FBI tries to catch him selling microchips with missile guidance codes, all hell breaks loose and a woman is killed. Surprisingly, Lake gets off scot-free and it's up to Eppes brothers to figure out how he received a verdict of "not guilty."
So in my own little world, I decided to compare Marsters and Dushku's respective careers, characters and episodes to see who would emerge victorious in the 2009 Spike vs. Faith SmackDown. Enjoy.
Post-Buffy Career Although Marsters guest starred on Smallville as Brainiac and on Torchwood, this doesn't hold a candle to the Dushku's cult favorite movie Bring It On. Advantage: Faith
Character Powers Damian Lake literally gets away with murder and can jet off to the tropics whenever he wants. Echo is at the mercy of the Dollhouse and might get super-strength, but could just as easily get asthma depending on what personality she's getting implanted with that day. Advantage: Spike
Fashion Sense Damian Lake dons suits and the occasional Hawaiian shirt and alas, does not have bleached blond hair. Echo has too many costume changes to keep track of, including a slip party dress, form-fitting motorcycle suit, spaghetti-strap tank tops and even a sexy librarian get-up complete with glasses. Advantage: Faith
Humor Numb3rs mocks Facebook, and one character utters the line, "I won't discuss another man's meat." On Dollhouse, it's drama, drama, drama so far. Advantage: Spike
Co-stars Everyone's very good on both shows, and Buffyverse fans will be happy to see Amy Acker on Dollhouse. But you really can't fight the evil charisma of Ray Wise (the devil on Reaper) who always has the best glint in his eye and smirk on his face. Advantage: Spike
Aging Dushku is 28 and looks even better since her Buffy days. Marsters at 46 can still boast those cheekbones, but he just doesn't draw the eye like he used to. Sorry, youth wins. Advantage: Faith
Hot Chicks Besides Echo, there are many, many other attractive, nubile women in the Dollhouse, often showing off skin. On Numb3rs, they had to infuse a little sex appeal with a deli waitress. Advantage: Faith
Character's Grace Under Fire Damian Lake never seems to care whether he's in trouble with the law or getting threatened. Echo loses her cool during a couple pivotal moments. Not her fault of course, but there you have it. Advantage: Spike
Episode Body Count Dollhouse: 6.5, Numb3rs: 2 Advantage: Faith
Lead-in Programming/Time Slot Numb3rs on CBS, which draws more eyes than FOX on Fridays, has been enjoying consistently high ratings each week and will only run against ABC and NBC at 10 p.m. Dollhouse is teamed up with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, both new to Fridays, and must contend against Flashpoint's carryover audience from Ghost Whisperer. Draw
The score stands at Spike: 4, Faith: 5. The slayer wins again.
Of course, since Dollhouse airs at 9 p.m. ET and Numb3rs airs at 10 p.m., you won't have to choose or even set your DVR. We all emerge victorious.

I have downloaded the Num8ers ep, and shall be watching it as soon as I've finished posting, and am currently downloading Dollhouse, mainly because I've just finished watching the first season of Tru Calling, which I really enjoyed (the guy that played Harrison was quite hot, but I just wanted to give Davies a cuddle, what can I say he's just a total teddy bear!! ) will post again when I've finished watching.

Copied over from Prattle: - We watched Numb3rs last night in Pattis room - James looking hot - just not in it enough! Hes in it a lot at he beginning, and a tiny bit at the end (wearing ORANGE shorts!!! ) and being gloriously charismatically bad and smug! odd accent going on though - will have to ask him about that - kind of english-ish, sort of! But looking good in his suits - liking the pinstripe in the court scene. And just yummy all round. (the "good" guys had a HUGE photo blow up of him looking all grim - phew - they should sell that prop!! ) Hope someone got some screen caps.!!

I agree with Rosie. James wasn't in it enough. His entrance was HOT, though. The only thing I've seen Ray Wise in is Twin Peaks. He plays the devil? Yeah, I can see it. I'm getting the urge to get Northern Exposure and Twin Peaks DVD's from Netflix...... BTW, is Rob Morrow on our A-Z list??
