Smallville:

Lois (Erica Durance) will pull Chloe (Allison Mack) to safety but her cousin is pronounced dead at the hospital. As many times as Chloe's been pronounced dead, it hasn't stuck yet!
On the other hand, Lana could also be pronounced dead and really be dead this time. Rumors and tidbits that have been floating around the net since April, have been reporting that while Lana will die, Kristen Kreuk will still be on the show – as Lana's clone. This sounds like a way to get her out of that Lex-marriage storyline from Season 6, as well as to reshape Lana's already labile personality.

Stargate: Atlantis

"As it turns out in sci-fi, nobody dies," mused David Hewlett in a new interview with SciFi Weekly. The topic of discussion was the demise and return to "Stargate Atlantis" of Dr. Carson Beckett, played by Paul McGillion

When fans last saw him, Beckett was killed in the Season 3 episode "Sunday." So how is it that he’s posthumously returned to Atlantis?

"Let's just say Beckett becomes a product of his own genius, to some extent," Hewlett said. "And we see not only old friends, but old enemies. I think the fans are going to love where it goes, shall I say. We had a lot of fun shooting it. He was back in fine form."

Jericho

According to SciFi Wire, the second season of “Jericho” will introduce a more stable and long-running military presence in the small Kansas town as the government finally begins to re-assert itself. Many of these elements were introduced at the tail end of the first season and the new episodes will make sure to continue those stories in the most natural way.

With that in mind, it’ll take as much as seven episodes for the towns residents to come to grips with these new external forces that have moved into their world. But following the raging battle between Jericho and New Bern, is the military up to the task of quelling the area?

"The first season was about that sort of invisible force, the government, the law, the financial system, all those things, disappearing, and living in a vacuum," co-creator John Steinberg said. "And season two is about what happens when something comes back to replace that vacuum, and it's not what you remembered being there when you left. And so that's kind of the big arc of it, and how we respond to that and resist it or learn to deal with it."

The re-introduction of the government was always on the roadmap for the second season even before the cancellation. However, with the second year now facing a shortened episode order, the powers that be have been forced to make a slight course correction in order to keep the story moving throughout the initial batch of seven episodes.

"In changing it from 22 to seven episodes, we sort of broke it like a movie," Steinberg said. "And so I think we want to find the best end of this movie that we can come up with. And I think we have a pretty good one. You're going to feel satisfied, but you're also going to know that there's a lot more story coming down the road and that it's not tied up in a bow in any way."
