SPOILERS!

Lois fans from Smallville have one request: Throw us a freakin' bone here! Please tell us she will finally be in every episode in Season 8. — Luke

Matt Mitovich: Would that I could, Luke (and the scores of others seeking such assurance). But at this point I am hearing that Erica Durance's sitch remains "the same as always" — that is, she'll do 13 or so episodes — though there is a slight chance we may eke out an extra one or two. Small consolation, I know, but you should understand that delivering 22 episodes' worth of Lois... well, like Denise Richards, it is complicated.

Any word on whether Brian Austin Green will be rejoining Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for Season 2? He brought the show to a whole other level. — MBH

Mitovich: The creator of T:SCC agrees with you. Watch this week's Mega Minute vodcast for more.

I would absolutely love some scoop on BSG, Doctor Who, Psych or Stargate Atlantis — or all of them if you're feeling generous. — Traci

Mitovich: Hmm, I'll meet you halfway. What I turned up for you regarding Psych merited its own news item, posted Monday. As for Battlestar, Erin Fox previewed a snippet of this Friday's midseason finale, and teases: "The trip to Earth — and the fate of the colonials — may lie in the hands of the four unknown Cylons." Frak!

It seems like forever since we have heard anything about Heroes. What is going on, and when is the fall premiere? — Janet

Mitovich: Weevil is evil! The premiere is discussed in the next item.

Will the shows that did not come back after the WGA strike premiere their new episodes prior to the new "traditional" late-October debut period? — Petra

Mitovich: You betcha! Fox will be first out of the gate, kicking off its fall season Sept. 1, with Prison Break. The CW is expected to launch much of its lineup that same week, though the returns of Smallville and Supernatural are currently listed as "TBA." (Cue groans.) NBC's plan is more leisurely, launching with Heroes on Sept. 22 — around the same time that ABC is likely to bring back the likes of Private Practice. CBS is mum thus far.
