Question: Any teases for tomorrow night's Burn Notice finale? -- Jesse
Ausiello: Considering it was directed by one of my childhood idols, former Falcon Crest showrunner Jeff Freilich, it's hardly a surprise that it ranks as one of my favorite episodes BN episodes of all time. The highlights: Not only are there two awesome action sequences, but the eppy includes one of the most intense Michael-Fiona scenes to date.
Question: Hey, sexy man! I know you usually don't dish much about Prison Break, but any chance you've heard any tidbits regarding our favorite convicted felon and his lady doctor now that they've reunited? -- Andrea
Ausiello: Me? Sexy? I'm blushing! Or I'm drunk! Either way, there's some Prison Break scoop coming your way: Don't get too attached to Michael and Sara, because their (presumably happy) ending may not be that far off. Executive producer Matt Olmstead tells me that he's prepared for the possibility that this could be the show's final season. "There’s a shelf life to serialized dramas," he notes. "If this is the last season, we’re not mourning that because it’s been a great ride and we have a great season [ahead]." Olmstead adds that if Fox does decide to lower the ax, "we’ll definitely have enough time to prepare for an appropriate ending…the season finale we have in mind could play as a season or series finale." Meanwhile, the exec says he's thrilled by the positive reaction to this season's Ocean's 11-esque premise. "We've absolutely been encouraged by the response. It took a while to get the right idea for season 4, and to have the audience supporting it is very gratifying."
Question: Speculation is running rampant that Chase and Cameron are having a baby on House. Please tell me it's not true. -- Jessica
Ausiello: If it's alright by you, I'd rather point you to this week's episode of Ausiello TV for an answer to that question.
Question: Okay, I need Heroes or Supernatural scoop, or Gargamel and me will hunt you down because we're tight like that. That is all. -- Ashley
Ausiello: I don't take kindly to threats, Ashley. I give in to them, sure, but I don't take kindly to them. So I'm only going to give you Supe scoop. "Coming up in the middle of the season, there's an episode titled 'Afterschool Special' in which the boys investigate a haunting at one of the high schools they attended as kids," exec producer Eric Kripke tells me. "As they investigate, we'll see flashbacks to what high school was like for Sam and Dean." Sounds fun, right? It won't be. Adds Kripke: "It wasn't pretty."
Question: You totally work in my building! I saw you walking past the Cosi yesterday and almost called out your name before I realized that we don't know each other! How 'bout some scoop on my favorite show of all time -- Dexter! Meet you at the Subway for a coldcut combo tomorrow? -- Cindy
Ausiello: Screw that. Let's go to Happy Hour at my fave watering hole, Stalker Alert. As for Dex, 'memba the jaw-dropping twist at the end of the season premiere that I teased last month? Well, it involves D**t*r *e****n* * *a***. Jaw-dropping, right?
Question: Fringe was so awesome! Got any scoop? -- Olivia
Ausiello: You betcha. The show is already beefing up its cast, adding to the roster an as-yet-unchosen actor to play the recurring role of Ian Spencer, a twenty-to-thirtysomething hipster whose forensics expertise comes in handy on tough cases. Not sure if his sense of humor helps, too, but hey, can't hurt, right?
Question: Got anything big on Smallville? (Get it? Big on small?) -- Josh
Ausiello: You're brilliant! Smallville is putting the finishing touches on what I'm told are two of the biggest episodes in years -- 8.10 and 8.11. The former marks the return of Lana, while latter is being penned by celebrated comic book writer Geoff Johns.
Question: Any word on the status of Sarah Connor Chronicles? -- Charles
Ausiello: I'm a little worried. The ratings for the second episode sucked big time, and if the free-fall continues, I honestly don't see how Fox can afford to keep it on the air. Very frustrating. Maybe this exclusive little casting scoopbit will help get those numbers up: Stephanie Jacobsen (Kendra Shaw of BSG: Razor) is joining the cast as a love interest for Derek (Brian Austin Green).
Question: Can you help ease the pain of waiting for new episodes of Lost by telling me whether Jeff Fahey will be returning to the show? He was great, and it seems like there's some backstory to explore there, don't you think? -- David B.
Ausiello: He's coming back! Doc Jensen says so right here!
