SPOILERS!

Question: What the frak! Is Battlestar Galactica ever returning? -- Ken

Ausiello: Good news: A Sci Fi source confirms to me exclusively that the last half of season 4 premieres on Friday, January 16, at 10 p.m. Which, by my calculations, puts the series finale (boo-hoo!) at Friday, March 20. Viewing party at Tim Stack's place and you're all invited!

Question: Could you give me some more scoop on Prison Break? -- Zak

Ausiello: Okay, twist my arm, why don't ya? At Monday's Max Payne premiere, Prison Breaker Amaury Nolasco (a.k.a. Sucre) teased: "Somebody gets killed in episode No. 9... one of us from the group... a regular. And Michael takes it pretty hard because he's Michael." Of course he does. While the actor called talk that this season will be the show's last "just word of mouth at this point," he conceded, "I think it could be a good place to stop." Added Robert Knepper (aka T-Bag): "They have planned out a great way to wrap up all this business with the company."

Question: Loved that Prison Break had Sucre pose as a gay dude. But they kind of left it open just how far he went with that guy's wife. What's the scoop!? -- Roger

Ausiello: Maybe you heard, but we recently spoke with Amaury Nolasco and asked him exactly that. "I think Sucre seriously would have [pooped] his pants thinking he was going up to that guy's room to party," he said. "But I loved the twist that the guy's wife was up there. I don't know what the writers think happened, but I like to think that he stayed faithful to Maricruz. She is the only reason he broke out of prison -- or went to prison, really. Why would he throw it away for only $1,000? I saw Indecent Proposal. That didn't even work out for $1 million!"

Question: Seriously, I'm going crazy here. Are you really so horrible at your job that you can't come up with any Bones scoop, or have you just decided you hate Bones? Fifty trillion weeks and no Bones scoop? It's unbearable! -- Isabella

Ausiello: Actually, it's only been 49 billion, 398 million weeks. But now that I know somebody wants Bones scoop, get this: The show is casting a sexy female FBI agent whose temperature rises when she interrogates Booth. Something tells me neither Brennan nor you are gonna like reading that.

Question: There has been much debate among Supernatural fans over whether or not Sam and Ruby are sleeping together. Any chance you could clear this up for us? Thanks! Keep up the good work! -- Rebecca

Ausiello: I can't, but maybe exec producer Eric Kripke can. Let's ask him, shall we? Eric, are Sam and Ruby doing the deed? "No comment." Curses, foiled again! (BTW, check out this week's episode of Ausiello TV for an exclusive first look at the cheeky trailer for tomorrow's black and white episode!)

Question: Loving Fringe. What you got for me? -- Claire

Ausiello: I got skeletons -- lot and lots of skeletons, and they all seem to be tumbling out of Peter's (Joshua Jackson) closet. In fact, even as I type this, the show is casting two people from his past -- one, a knockout thirtysomething female who'll warn him that folks are after him; the other, a thirtysomething tough guy who is, in fact, after him. Both characters, plus a third -- a fiftysomething pudge with a killer's eyes -- could go recurring.

Question: Anything new on Chuck? -- Laura

Ausiello: First off, next Monday's Nicole Richie ep is kick-ass -- both figuratively and literally. The fight scene between Yvonne Strahovski and Paris' old pal is Bionic Woman-pilot-level cool. And here's a bonus scooplet for ya: The show is casting a John Mayer type to play a British rocker whose life Chuck is charged with saving.

Question: Seriously, enough already with the Thirteen-Foreman, House-Cuddy scoops. We get it. Can we please get back to dishing about the upcoming return of the sorely ignored Chase-Cameron romance? We need some new scoop to hold us over until their episode finally airs! By the way, confusion abounds -- when exactly does their episode air? -- Mae

Ausiello: Okay, I checked with Fox and here's how the next batch of episodes are shaking down:

Episode 5 (Oct. 21): Thirteen's girl-on-girl smooch. Foreteen is born.

Episode 6 (Oct. 28): Huddy kiss.

Episode 7: (Nov. TBD): "The Chase-Cameron Show"

Episode 8: (Nov. TBD): I think this is the episode where Foreman approaches House about starting a clinical trial for Huntington's disease, but don't hold me to that.

Episode 9: (Nov. TBD): Hostage crisis starring dude from Damages.

Question: Loving Michael Weston on House. What's the latest on his possible spin-off? -- Josh

Ausiello: It's officially… not happening. A Fox insider confirms that the potential offshoot has been scrapped. In its place, the network is said to be developing an hour-long House companion that revolves around Thirteen's soon-to-be-introduced brother, a lawyer by the name of Eleven. (I'm here all week!)
