Tons of SPOILERS!!

Do you have any Smallville scoop? I think I saw Clark flying in the preview of the January 15th return.... — Laxmi

Matt: Flying? Or was he perhaps just dynamically leaping onto the roof of a tall building, in a single bound...? That's what I'm thinking. Watch again.

When will Sons of Anarchy be back? And will Drea De Matteo be a series regular when it does? — Cindy

Mickey: First, Cindy, I wish your name was Christofuh. Or Cosette. Second, all the Sons of Anarchy regulars have signed on to Season 2, but as of press time, De Matteo, who appeared in four eps this season, has no deal in place with the show.

Could you solve a mystery that's been plaguing Chuck fans? Where is Morgan's girlfriend, Anna? She has been conspicuously absent for several episodes now. — Lauren

Matt: Ah, yes — the somewhat recurring "Where in the world is Anna Wu?" crisis. Despite being upgraded to series-regular status this season, Julia Ling has been Wu-fully underused. [Disproportionate snicker.] The good "Wu's" is she resurfaces this coming Monday, in "Chuck vs. the DeLorean."

Question: I'm skeptical about Bones and Booth being in bed together naked. Is this a big fake-out? -- Kelly

Ausiello: Depends what you're definition of the word "fake-out" is. While Hart Hanson confirms that the pair will definitely end up in bed together naked (most likely during May sweeps), he refuses to disclose the context, except to say, "It's not free of encumbrance. It's not free and clear. Nothing is easy on Bones."

Question: I've heard more Bones scoop from my dog than you, Ausiello. Please give me something! -- Emily

Ausiello: Oh, yeah, well... did your dog tell you that Papa Booth's coming to town! 'Cause he just might be some day maybe! Explains Hart Hanson: "Booth has some issues with his dad, so we may bring in his father this season. We also talked about having his grandfather show up, but I'm not sure that will happen."

Question: In a just-released ABC press release about Lost, it states that Jeremy Davies and Ken Leung will be part of the main cast, but Rebecca Mader is not. Do you have any information that may explain this? -- Eric

Ausiello: Jeremy and Ken are series regulars; Rebecca is not. Easy peesy. In other Lost news, awesome promo alert!

Question: Is True Blood returning for a second season? And, if so, got scoop? -- Jeremy

Ausiello: Not only is there fresh Blood on the way, there's also fresh... um, blood. The vamp hit is on the hunt for a new series regular to play Sarah, the pleasure-seeking missus of Steve Newlin, the Fellowship of the Sun's big kahuna. New semi-regulars are also being sought for six-episode arcs as Daphne, Merlotte's new waitress (and Sam's likely new love interest), and Luke, a burly twentysomething who's as dedicated to religion as Jason is to sex.

Question: As an avid Chuck fan, I have to ask: Where the heck is Anna? We haven't seen her in weeks, and there was only a passing mention that she was at her parents' for Thanksgiving. Is Julia Ling okay? The Buy More plots aren't the same without her. -- Katie

Ausiello: Fear not, Ling remains a part of the cast, albeit not as big a part as, say, Zach Levi. Like many of Chuck's supporting players, her contract isn't for all shows produced (or ASP). The good news: She's back in a huge way next week.

Question: Chuck question: Is the Dark Intersect from "Chuck vs The Suburbs" (episode 14) going to form the basis for a Feb/March sweeps trilogy? And how will the Dark Intersect affect Chuck? -- Lou

Ausiello: I'm going to throw this one to Josh Schwartz. "The Dark Intersect is the first sign that the bad guys (read: FULCRUM) are figuring out that if they can't find the Intersect, why not rebuild it -- which makes Chuck even more valuable. And yes, it is a trilogy."

Question: I can't believe Sylar killed Elle. Why would Heroes get rid of Kirsten Bell? -- Sarah

Ausiello: Kristen's return was never meant to be long term, so she was leaving one way or the other. But as I hinted in last week's AA, I wasn't expecting her exit to be so permanent. And it is permanent. Unlike 90 percent of the deaths on Heroes, this one will stick. Ironic, no?

Question: I've been reading all sorts of nutty things about the Tori Spelling episode of Smallville. I can't believe that Clark comes out to the world as an alien! Is this going to stick, or are we looking at another case where time travel/mind wipes fix everything? -- Robbie

Ausiello: I can confirm that Clark does, in fact, come out as an E.T. during an interview with Lois. I can also confirm that said revelation causes mass chaos.

Question: Stop jerking us around with all these song lyrics and tell us something specific about House's Christmas outing next week. -- Sherri

Ausiello: Chase and Cameron are in the ep! The new team grills C&C about the anonymous Xmas gift House receives at the hospital. They want to know who sent it and they want to know now. Too bad they're barking up the wrong tree for answers. (Was that better, Sherri?)
