SPOILERS!


When does the next volume start on Heroes? Because "Villains" is turning the show into Heroezzz. (No offense, Tim Kring.) — Charles

Mickey: I hear you, Charles. At this point, I don't even care who is good and who is evil and/or how they got there; I'm just ready to move on. The next volume, titled "Fugitives" and said to be inspired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, begins in January. It centers on a character called The Hunter (Damages Emmy winner Zeljko Ivanek) and, by all accounts, represents a reboot of the series. I, for one, will welcome it with a freakin' Fifth Avenue parade.


When will True Blood's second season air? Will it be based on Charlaine Harris' second book? — Stacy

Mickey: HBO hasn't set a Season 2 premiere date yet, but look for it to return around June 2009. Creator Alan Ball will combine elements from the second book with original stories, much as he did for the first season.

Any word on whether Robert Carlyle will be in Season 7 of 24? And are any characters from past seasons returning, besides Kim? — Yong

Matt: Several characters from the 24: Redemption TV-movie (airing Nov. 23) — Cherry Jones and Jon Voight, to name two — are sticking around for Season 7. Carlyle just isn't one of them. (P.S. Is it awful that when I look at him, all I see is his crazed zombie from 28 Weeks Later?) As for returning folk, in addition to Kim Bauer and you-know-who, you've also got Bill Buchanan and Chloe O'Brian (this despite CTU being disbanded), as well as Chloe's hubby, Morris.


What is Smallville's Chloe up to in the episodes following her wedding to Jimmy? — Sue

Matt: Since "Bride" (airing Nov. 20) is positioned as a massive cliffhanger preceding Smallville's never-super eight-week winter hiatus, you can expect Chloe to have much to deal with in its aftermath — not the least of which is the fact that the poor thing will not have seen the last of Brainiac. Hopefully I can dig up more scoop in my imminent sit-down with "Groom" Aaron Ashmore.

Any scoop on upcoming episodes of Prison Break? — Chaya

Matt: As you may know, we're in the midst of a run of eight straight episodes that climaxes with the midseason finale, airing Dec. 22. (That's when Kathleen Quinlan shows up as... um, someone of interest.) Along the way, watch for Michael to be blindsided by a most unexpected betrayal — and literally at the worst possible moment.
