Tommy in Toronto: Is Awesome really going to be a spy this season on Chuck? How will that work?
Chuck star Ryan McPartlin (Devon "Awesome" Woodcomb) spells it out for us: "I don't know if I'll be made a spy, but I'm getting involved in the spy world. Chuck's going to [be] in a pinch and call on me to help him out." Makes sense, but we have an important question: Will this mean more or less clothes? "I don't have to just be shirtless for no reason, but I'm sure my shirt will come off for random acts of God." Whoo! As McPartlin says, "I feel like it's amazing because it's like the first season, when Chuck got to carry the weight of the secret. I get to bring that [spirit of the] first season back again, through Awesome's eyes. And I'm just gonna lean on [Sarah and Chuck] for advice on how to do that."
Joel in Ames, Texas: Am I the only one worried that Chuck is going to be way too different with the new kung fu intersect?
Actually, yes, because we think it's an awesome new twist, but Captain Awesome himself wants to ease your mind. When we ran into Ryan at the NBC TCA party, he explained the new season perfectly: "We flipped Chuck on its ear. We're going to give the audience what it expects, but not the way they expect it. Chuck used to be protected from the world, now the world has to be protected from Chuck." Have we eased your mind yet?
Kaitlyn in Seattle: Since Bryce Larkin is dead on Chuck, at least Chuck doesn't have him getting in the way between him and Sarah anymore, right?
Au contraire, there's a chance that Bryce Larkin isn't really dead and that he could return to shake things up a little. Matthew Bomer tells us, "I'd love to go back, but it's really going to depend on scheduling [with White Collar]. There is a possibility that I will be back on Chuck."
Kelly in Redding, Calif.: Any news on season four of Dexter? I'm so excited!
According to new castmember John Lithgow (love him!), Dexter and the Trinity Killer won't come face-to-face until midseason, but from that point on, he says, "We'll be spending a lot of time together."
Tim: What does the departure of David Maples from In Plain Sight mean for his wife, Holly Maples? Is her character, Eleanor Prince, still going to be on the show, maybe as a regular? Her interactions with Mary have been some of the best parts of the show this season.
Agreed. Sadly, a USA Network rep says, "It's too early to address any casting questions for the upcoming third season." And outgoing In Plain Sight executive producer David Maples himself says, "I have been completely out of the loop on what's happening next. I know that they are making some changes. As far as Holly goes, she was not under contract last year; she was a guest star that was there from episode to episode. Thus far, nobody has contacted her, so I don't know what their plans are." Consider this the beginning of our campaign to keep Holly Maples as Eleanor on In Plain Sight. She's been the perfect addition to the Witsec office, and we need to keep her!
Courtney in Tucson, Ariz.: I just started reading The Vampire Diaries, and oh my goodness they are fantastic! Do you have any idea on how closely the new TV series will follow these wonderful books?
You'll see a number of differences right off the bat in the first ep. First, Elena's very young sister has been replaced by a troubled teen brother, and the siblings are returning to high school several months (as opposed to several years in the book) after their parents' deaths. TV Elena is the virtual opposite of book Elena: the blue-eyed blonde is now a Bella-like brunette. As for the vampires, instead of his romantic rooftop boarding-house quarters, Stefan lives with an "uncle" (another nonexistent character in the first novel)—but Damon is definitely eee-vil, beginning with the gruesome opening scene. Other characters and relationships have been slightly tweaked as well—for better or worse? We're dying to hear what you think, so be sure to let us know after the Sept. 10 premiere!
Mike in Indianapolis: Fringe scoop, please.
Oh, Fringe, how you tease us with your out-of-this-world fantasies. At the Television Critics Association press tour, Fox gave reporters copies of the newspaper seen in the alternate universe that declared the Obamas were moving into the new White House. Some of the other top stories from "over there" include:
President John F. Kennedy is still alive and active in politics.
The powers that be can manipulate the weather.
The stock markets have been closed for 21 days and counting.
All four Beatles are all alive and heading out on a reunion tour.
New Orleans is hoping to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, leading us to believe the Crescent City was never hit by Hurricane Katrina.
Genetically engineered glow-in-the-dark pets are available for purchase.
Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy album was released in 2000!
Dwayne Johnson plays the Terminator in a stage version of the movie.
Former star Arnold Schwarzenegger is now a senator.
So which universe do you want to live in?
