SPOILERS!!

Latest from TV Guide's Ausiello:

Question: Ugh! Please tell me that Carlton Cuse's announcement about Season 4 of Lost only being 13 episodes doesn't mean they are robbing us of three of the 48 episodes that remain in the series! If so, a lot of us fans will be very pissed off! — Andrew
Ausiello: I suggest you make your way to my Ausiello Report blog for an answer to that question and much, much more.

Question: I need some scoop on the future of Prison Break! Despite a lackluster season, the show was beyond awesome and suspenseful this week. Heard anything about its future? — Christy
Ausiello: All I know is that Season 3 comes to an end next Monday and the show remains on the bubble for fall. My guess? Prison Break as we know it will end, to be replaced next season with the "women in prison" spin-off that Fox has been developing. But that's just a guess.

Question: In last week's Ask Ausiello, you said that "Michael gets a special delivery from the great beyond in the season finale of Prison Break on Feb. 18. And someone I thought I'd never in a million years see on the show again turns up in a surprise cameo." Any hints as to who that "surprise cameo" is? Can you tell us if he or she was a regular on the show, or if he or she has died on the show? — Lip1
Ausiello: Yes, she was a regular. And yes, she died on the show. And although she didn't need to be present for this particular cameo, she was most definitely an integral part in making it happen. Hmmmm….

Question: In light of your news that Supernatural will produce four or five additional episodes this season (woo-hoo!), does this mean that Reaper is no longer taking over its Thursday/ 9 pm/ET time slot? — Brooke
Ausiello: A CW spokesperson tells me that the network is "proceeding with our plan to run Reaper encores behind Smallville encores [beginning Feb. 28]. Supernatural originals will return in April." In what time slot it'll return is undecided at this moment, but the rep insists everyone at the CW "loves Supernatural and it shall return!" BTW, two more pre-strike Supernaturals remain. The first one airs tomorrow, second one next Thursday. Tell your friends!

Question: Oddly enough, we don't see much coverage of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Is Fox satisfied with the ratings? — Dusty
Ausiello: Doesn't sound like it. One of my House moles tells me that the network is panicking over SCC's relatively soft ratings (this week's ep finished third in its time slot, with roughly eight million viewers) because the show's budget is so astronomical. "They should have given that show the post-Super Bowl slot instead of us," says my spy. "They needed it; we didn't." A Fox insider, meanwhile, points out that SCC is the No. 1 new drama in every demo.

Question: Any update on what's going on with Bionic Woman? — Mandissa
Ausiello: Yes. Multiple sources are now confirming to me exclusively that NBC is in advanced talks to sell Jaime Sommers' used parts to Radio Shack. And not just any Radio Shack. The one on the lower level of Port Authority. That's quite a coup for them.

Question: Regarding last week's Lost, was I the only one let down by the fact that everyone seemed to forget that Charlie just kicked the bucket? — Shannon
Ausiello: OK, good. It wasn't just me. Yes, I get that no one wants to see Claire cry buckets for the rest of the season, but c'mon — she just found out he died. At the very least, she should've looked a little sullen. Let her walk around with a box of Dharma tissues for a few hours. Something.

Question: I know you took some heat for your criticism of Lost last week, but I couldn't agree with you more. I was totally bothered by the fact that it took nearly the entire length of the episode for Jack and Kate to follow up with Miles and Co. about their primary reason for being on the island. — Naomi
Ausiello: Some heat? Dr. Phil took some heat for his bungling of Britney-gate. I was tarred, feathered and then raked over the coals. But I stand by my argument. The Jack and Kate I know would've pressed Miles and Faraday a lot harder for an answer to that critical question before traipsing around the island with them.

Question: Please tell us something about Jericho! — Grace
Ausiello: Three mild spoilers await you in this week's Ausiello Report vodcast.

Question: Is Thirteen really bisexual on House? — Sam
Ausiello: You wouldn't be asking that question if you'd seen this week's Ausiello Report vodcast.

Question: Please, for once, answer this crazy-devoted Aushole’s question: Will we know all of the Oceanic 6 after these first eight episodes of Lost?— Allison
Ausiello: OK, that does it for this week. Don't forget to check out:
