If Fox is serious about Fringe (and aren't we all), why is it forcing it to compete against CSI, Grey's Anatomy and The Office on Thursdays? — Anita
MICKEY: At first blush, moving Fringe to such a powerhouse night would appear to be a suicide mission. But Fox entertainment prez Kevin Reilly lays out his strategy thusly: "[CSI and Grey's] are two still-terrific appointment shows, but they're down. They are not consuming all the oxygen at 9 o'clock" he insists. "[Fringe] got a huge amount of buzz coming out of the last batch of episodes ... and is a real alternative to both of those shows. It's not an overlapping audience." Oh yeah, Kev? Tell that to my DVR, which is already groaning at the prospect of Thursday nights this fall.
I have heard the CW wants Supernatural to go on, but Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Eric Kripke want to leave after this season. And with Lucifer rising, it seems the show is near its end. Can you shed any light on things? — Morgan
MATT: Yes, CW boss Dawn Ostroff has indicated that she may "override" Kripke's longtime plan to end Supernatural after five seasons. And while the series' creator isn't signed on beyond this season, its two leads are. In fact, Padalecki just told io9, "My best guess is that Supernatural will go beyond Season 5" —possibly sans Kripke. Inconceivable, you say? Smallville minus original bosses Al Gough and Miles Millar, I say.
Will Ryan Hurst be back as "Opie" in the second season of FX's Sons of Anarchy? — Doc
TIM: Yes, he will. Grab your helmet because the now-widowed Opie will have an empty sidecar and plenty of screen time to hog as he rides into a Season 2 already revved up to kick-start plenty of drama and hit the open road Hell's Angels leather Easy Rider handlebars "Born to Be Wild" vroooooooom-varoooooooorrowwwwwwrrrr-screeeeeeeecccccch. [Tinkling of broken glass, followed by explosion]
How about a scoop on the upcoming Stargate Universe? — Aled, in Wales
MATT: When SGU debuts on Sci Fi Channel Oct. 2 — at which point, remember, Sci Fi will be known as SyFy — viewers will be quick to pick up on the special something that sets this Stargate apart from any predecessors. As one source tells me, "Death is a big part of this show." So, I'd tread very, very carefully when getting attached to people you think will be series regulars.
Can you give us any scoop on the The Vampire Diaries? — Fernando
MICKEY: I thought Vampire Diaries looked promising, with two handsome, compelling male leads and the same fetid, woodsy atmospherics that both Twilight and True Blood have brought to the genre.
Do you have any info for the second season of Legend of the Seeker? When? Where? What? Who? — Sandra
TIM: When: Soon. (Season 2 hasn't officially been scheduled, but preparations are well underway.) Where? We left off with Richard successfully defeating Darken Rahl, but it remains to be seen whether he succeeded long-term. What? Defeating Rahl opened a rift into the underworld, which means Richard must contend with a war waged on the living. Who? You, Sandra, are sitting pretty with your question answered to your complete satisfaction, we hope. Why? Because we like you.
