Did anyone at TVGuide.com attend the Battlestar Galactica press screening on Monday night? If so, what's the frakkin' word? — Danny
MICKEY: I am in Florida, exploring an unfamiliar civilization of a different sort (the retirement community), so we sent TVGuide.com Nerd High Priestess Erin Fox. Once Doc Cottle revived her with smelling salts, she said this: "The first hour-and-a-half of the finale is so intense, you'll find it difficult to breathe. So many questions will be answered — including some you probably thought wouldn't be addressed due to time constraints. Also, if Mary McDonnell isn't recognized by the Emmys this year, it'll be a frakkin' shame. She had the crowd in tears more than once with her brilliant performance." Erin then hugged her Cylon toaster to her chest, placed a paper bag over her mouth and nose and breathed gently until it was safe to stand again.
Has Fringe been canceled? — Bob
MICKEY: As we've discussed, Fringe is on an Idol-related hiatus until April 7, at which point the focus will partially shift from Olivia's past to Peter's past, including the mysterious "health issue" that dad Walter has at times alluded to. As John Noble shared this week here at the TVGuide.com offices, "When we find out [what's Peter's 'condition' is], you'll see why Walter is so desperately attached to him and so desperately concerned about him." By the way, Noble calls the first episode back "extraordinary" and the subsequent five "among our very best."
Any news if Terminator or Dollhouse will be picked up for next year? — Patrick
MATT: Sarah Connor's fate seemed cinched (in the bad way) until last week, when both of Fox's Friday-night shows delivered somewhat unexpected ratings gains. Now, fingers are anxiously crossed in Terminatorland until May, when the final word comes down. The forecast looks a bit better for Dollhouse. Joss Whedon was not kidding when he touted this week's episode as the one to watch. I audibly gasped at least once while screening it, then fast hit rewind to make sure I had indeed heard what I thought I heard. It also boasts one of the best hand-to-hand fight scenes I have seen in some time, a cool reveal about the Dollhouse's business model and, as an added bonus, much shirtless Tahmoh.
Am I the only one loving Jericho's sweet little Heather as a political badass on 24? Sprague Grayden has shown a whole different range, and I'm liking it. Any word on how long she'll be sticking around? — Mike
MATT: Oh, you know I love me some Sprague. The good news: We are far from seeing the last of feisty first daughter Olivia Taylor. The gooder news: Her nastiest is yet to come, as she even more brashly butts heads with Chief of Staff Ethan. But as is one of 24's calling cards, viewers may soon start questioning which of the two is in the right.
Will ABC Family produce more episodes of Kyle XY or make a movie, to tie up the assorted loose ends from Monday's series finale? — Zach
TIM: There are no plans for either, but writer/co-producer Julie Plec did explain, in the broadest possible terms, how the story theoretically ends: "Kyle embarks on a quest across the world with the sole mission of helping people. ... And it's because the Tragers took him in and loved him unconditionally, that he would have been able to do it." You can get more answers to lingering questions (including whether Cassidy was truth-telling about being Kyle's bro) here: http://community.abcfamily.go.com/blogs/kyle-xy/writerco-producer-julie-plec-answers-questions-about-kyle-xy-finale
I heard that Fox is not going to air the extra two episodes of Prison Break. Please tell me if this is true or not! — Liz
MATT: First, a little background for those just passing by: Prison Break returns Friday, April 17, with six episodes that will wrap up the series in a tidy (if bloodstained) bow. Beyond that, 20th Century Fox TV is independently producing an additional two hours that could serve as a standalone "event" à la 24: Redemption. The Fox network has yet to commit to airing those hours, but if PB ends with a bang, you can bet they'll find room on the schedule. Who will appear in the standalone story, you (didn't exactly) ask? Pretty much anyone left breathing at the end of May — plus Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's Gretchen.
Please let us know if Leverage will be back. — Elizabeth
TIM: It absolutely will, and in Season 2 you can expect Tim Hutton's Nate to get a new vice to replace his drinking and to have more run-ins with the ex (played by Kari Matchett). Oh, and TVGuide.com celeblogger Gina Bellman will do more accents, obviously.
