10 Things I Hate About You
Show runner Carter Covington promises lots more of druggie Keith and Dawn. As for the main characters, Kat will be stayin’ bitchy: “We wanted to be sure we weren’t neutering Kat into a ‘TV!’ version of Taming of the Shrew. We wanted Kat to be someone who had strong opinions, who sometimes is wrong, makes mistakes, you know, gets angry. Lindsey [Shaw] and I have talked a lot about that, just making sure that we don’t soften her edges, because she’s a character that doesn’t want to do that.” (Watch With Kristin)
Bones
In the season premiere, a castmember gets stabbed and Booth has a funny encounter with a clown. (Watch With Kristin)
Californication
In the first episode, Hank Moody is struggling as a single dad and begins questioning his daughter’s sexuality.

Unfortunately, Marcy doesn’t seem to be giving in . . . yet. (Watch With Kristin)

Castle

Cold Case
“We are going to start where we left off — with the military school case,” explains Kathryn Morris. “Daniel Baldwin, who plays Moe Kitchener, the guy who tried to kill me and was covering up the murder we solved at the military school, gets off on bond. That means you have to be a good boy for nine months, so for the whole season we have this cat-and-mouse thing going where we are trying to screw each other over. Daniel will be in and out throughout the season. Lily has always been on the side of the law and it has always worked for her, but this time the justice system is not working to her advantage. This guy tried to kill her and she is a little shaken and a lot angry. She might just have to take things into her own hands. She might go a little rogue.” She’ll get an assist from returning lover Bobby Cannavale, who “has been undercover in narcotics for awhile. He starts sending me signals from undercover that maybe I want to reconnect with him. He [ends up] helping me with the Moe Kitchener situation. Sometimes he’s had to blue the lines himself.” (Michael Ausiello)
CSI: Miami
Delko was originally going to turn up dead in the season premiere. When Adam Rodriguez failed to come to terms on a new contract over the summer, CBS allegedly recommended that producers simply write it in that Delko didn’t survive last May’s cliffhanger. “But I wasn’t comfortable with that,” says Rodriguez. “And I spoke to [exec producer] Ann Donahue and she wasn’t comfortable about this either; we really wanted to make sure that the character had a proper sendoff. So she petitioned CBS to make this work.” Now Rodriguez will return for a total of 10 episodes (not the seven I reported last week), during which he’ll change professions and sort out his complicated relationship with Calleigh. “Like any great love story, I don’t know that the books will ever be closed on them,” says Rodriguez of Calleighko. (Michael Ausiello)
Eric Delko may be wandering around the Florida Everglades, but he’s definitely still alive and even has a little more story to tell. “I didn’t want to leave it on that note; I felt that would be cheating the fans,” Adam Rodriguez says. As a result, he’ll appear in seven more episodes to give Delko a proper send-off. (TV Guide)

In other news, a strange turn of events in the premiere find Larry and Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) reminiscing about old times—alongside Wanda Sykes—but by the end of the episode, we’re guessing it will be a long road to reconciliation for the two—and not because either of them wants it this way.

Dexter
Within the first two episodes something so big happens to Dexter it causes him to misplace the dead body of one of his victims. (Watch With Kristin)
Not only does Trinity kill in threes, but he also kills in three very distinct ways. And because he’s so fond of cycles, his string of Miami murders will echo the locations of his similar killing spree there 30 years prior. (TV Guide)
Dollhouse
Summer Glau’s character not some lowly Dollhouse employee — she’s a chief programmer like Topher. (Michael Ausiello)
Tahmoh Penikett talking about the season premiere: “At the end [of the premiere], there is a very important conversation between Echo and Paul where she lets me know that she’s functioning with all these personalities in her mind at once and that she knows what is going on. It changes the playing field if the main doll has awareness of her situation. I like that it isn’t all damsel in distress, and Paul is starting to realize that.” (Michael Ausiello)
The Caroline-Echo dynamic is actually a key plot point in the Dollhouse season premiere.Now that Echo has been re-integrated with her other personalities and started to retain her identity no matter what, things are going to get hairy. The dynamic between Echo and her “original” personality Caroline will be at the center of season two. And in the season opener, where she’s married off to Jamie Bamber things go terribly wrong and Echo starts turning back into Caroline under stress. (Watch With Kristin)
Alexis Denisof plays a politician who is actually sniffing around Rossum [the corporation that runs the Dollhouse], and so he’s definitely more suave than Wesley was in his early incarnation. Right now he’s an earnest guy trying to do the right thing, but he’s coming up against the Dollhouse and we know how well that went for Paul Ballard. (SciFi Wire)
You will see Summer Glau around episode five or six. She’ll be working for the Dollhouse team. (SciFi Wire)

As Kat gains the courage to end her own toxic relationship – her marriage to Raymond — he’s back in their home to recuperate from being struck by lightning. And while Joanna worries that Will’s romantic attentions are only due to her hypnotic power, she and Penny embark on a perilous mission to uncover Darryl Van Horne’s true identity. Joanna finds Milton Philmont (Martin Mull), a retired Gazette reporter who years ago wrote about the death of a man named Sebastian Hart – a man who looks uncannily like a young Darryl Van Horne. Armed with an old photo of Hart with three beautiful women, she and Penny seek answers from the eccentric and reclusive Eleanor Rougement (Cybil Shepherd). (TV Squad)
Friday Night Lights
Show runner Jason Katims talking about the new season: “This season opener is practically a pilot in itself. It puts Coach Taylor at the center of the action in a new school, with a new team and many new challenges.” (Watch With Kristin)
Fringe
We’ll find out what makes Broyles tick this season. Among the revelations: “He’s ex-military,” reveals his portrayer, Lance Reddick, “which probably won’t surprise anyone. You will find out that he’s a colonel and has a very long history with the Fringe division. You will also find out why I got divorced later in the season and my ex-wife will be on screen. We will meet her and that is interesting. That’s actually a big episode for Broyles. In the same episode, we revisit an old case of mine that comes back and rears its ugly head.” (Michael Ausiello)
Blair Brown, who plays the cybernetic Nina Sharp, revealed that Nina Sharp and William Bell can never be in the same room at the same time. (TV Guide)

“You are going to see many Observers,” previews Orci of the new season’s eighth episode. “[It’s] going to tell you a lot about The Observers. You’re going to find out their role in the world, what they’re named after, and their connection to some of these characters.” (TV Guide Magazine)
“One of the things we’re doing, which we’ve been doing since Season 1, is that every four episodes or five episodes, if you’ve been watching the show and you’re a fan, you’re gonna get bigger answers than you ever got before. If you stay tuned to the fourth show, that eighth show, that 12th show, you will start to see a continuity that begins with The Observers.” (TV Guide Magazine)
Peter, Walter, Olivia and Broyles pursue a strange and deadly occurrence in Philadelphia where a bomb blew up inside a train station but left no trace of any explosive device.

The five episodes Katherine Heigl will be missing may not be consecutive. (Michael Ausiello)

Heroes
“She’s really the first person that [Claire has] been able to let in on her secret, somebody who’s really a confidant,” Hayden Panettiere says of Madeline Zima’s Gretchen. “But that’s a very delicate balance that can easily, you know, fall apart.” (TV Guide)
In the third episode, “Acceptance,” Hiro will focus his attention on saving others’ lives, while Angela helps Nathan try to remember his past and Tracy tries to get her job back. (SpoilerTV)

While the heroes adjust to their new surroundings, a mysterious carnival clan, led by ringleader Samuel (Robert Knepper), sets their sights on familiar faces. (NBC)
House
He says he hasn’t figured out what will happen to Taub and Thirteen after their fellowships expire. Luckily, time is on his side. “It won’t be until the end of the season,” he says, adding that it’s not in his nature to gloss over such plot points. “I don’t like those things to be fake-outs.” (Michael Ausiello)
Lisa Edelstein talks about if Cuddy finds out House had sex in the asylum: “She doesn’t know about the real girl or the real sex he has in the season premiere,” she says. “So far in scripts I have read she has not acknowledged that she knows. They certainly haven’t discussed it. It might break her heart.” (Michael Ausiello)
Lisa Edelstein says the House-Cuddy dynamic “continues to have its ups and downs” this season. “She has to eventually deal with him coming back [to work] and what his role will be and how will she handle him and what kind of state is he coming back in. They have feelings for each other — deeper than colleagues. But who knows if they will ever be right for each other? They never seem to be coming at each other at the same time. We are having fun no matter how we play it. Being at odds and playing off Hugh is great fun. If we ever get together I just don’t want it to seems false or forced, but I trust Katie and David to make the right moves.” (Michael Ausiello)
Cuddy will be getting a little action of her own this season. And it might be with House’s PI Lucas. (Michael Ausiello)
How I Met Your Mother

It’s a good thing the show bumped Mekhi Phifer up to series regular, because come Episode 2, his character will save the day when guest star Garret Dillahunt takes Lightman & Co. hostage. (TV Guide)
Lost
The sixth episode is Kate-centric. (Michael Ausiello)
Ian Somerhalder headed to Hawaii yesterday to film Boone’s return. The only thing he could say is that he’ll appear in several of the season’s episodes. (EW’s PopWatch)
Reports from Hawaii indicate that the crew has been filming at the Dharma submarine dock, and many of the island’s old sets are being set up again, including the Jughead tower, so we will be seeing a lot more old familiar places in addition to LAX. (The ODI)
Katey Sagal is returning as Helen Norwood, Locke’s one time girlfriend who supposedly died in 2006 of a brain aneurysm. Executive producer Carlton Cuse said he would like to find a way to bring back Julie Bowen as well, who played Jack’s ex-wife Sarah. (TV Guide Magazine)
Another detail has emerged from the LAX set. An extra claims that it looks like Charlie has an overdose in the bathroom during what appears to be a pre-crash Flight 815. (SpoilerTV)

The premiere is based around a Pete-centric flashback that shows how he joined the practice and got to know all of the characters, particularly Violet. By the end of the episode, you very well might cry. (Watch With Kristin)
Scrubs
Neil Flynn says that he will probably pop up once or twice as the Janitor. (Watch With Kristin)
Smallville
In the early going, Tess will be interacting mostly with Zod. They’ll eventually align, but they’ll have different agendas: She wants to protect the Blur, he wants to find it. (Michael Ausiello)
The third episode may feature a zombified Lois. (Michael Ausiello)
The season nine premiere takes place three weeks after Clark and Doomsday’s epic battle. Obsessed with becoming the hero the world needs, Clark is now literally leaving his mark on Metropolis – having fully embraced his Kryptonian side in order to finish training with his father Jor-El, Clark has started wearing the iconic “S”-shield on his chest, and spreads the symbol around the city in an effort to give its people hope. (SpoilerTV)
Chloe feels driven to reunite the disbanded Justice League. Her biggest challenge is Oliver Queen, who’d rather lose himself in underground fight clubs and drunken one-night stands. Oliver’s friends will hatch a plan to bring him back from the edge. Reconnecting with the hero inside of him, Oliver will return with a renewed purpose, even searching out an apprentice in Mia Dearden, DC comics’ teenaged sidekick “Speedy.” (SpoilerTV)
Clark and Oliver will find themselves caught up in a love triangle with Lois, as both men’s passions begin to burn brightly for her. Returning from her trip through time, Lois starts experiencing nightmarish visions of the future. Could they come true? If so, one not-so-troubling image is playing itself over and over in her head – Lois and Clark locked in a romantic, erotic embrace. Meanwhile, Clark continues to be conflicted over his own feelings for Lois. As the sparks fly, Lois and Clark’s relationship will deepen, leading to their first true kiss, and possibly something more. (SpoilerTV)
Meanwhile, Clark and Chloe’s relationship is starting to become strained.

But when Chloe begins to believe the ends justify the means, it sends her on a collision course with her friend and ally Clark. (SpoilerTV)
Tess has her hands full this season with an army of Kryptonians, newly arrived from the lost city of Kandor and led by the infamous Zod. However, this incarnation of Zod is younger than the one we remember – he has yet to grow into the power-mad psychopathic dictator, General Zod. Season nine’s Zod may only be a Major, but he’s already a cunning strategist and charismatic leader who knows how to inspire his troops. But behind his magnetism and those piercing eyes, Zod is still very dangerous. When Zod and Clark eventually meet, Clark recognizes that if he can befriend his fellow Kryptonian, he might be able to influence Zod away from becoming an evil, twisted tyrant. While it’s true this Major Zod has certain vulnerabilities, it may only take a handful of betrayals to turn him into Clark’s deadly arch-nemesis. (SpoilerTV)
After being struck by a truck, John Corben (guest star Brian Austin Green) wakes up alone in an abandoned apartment as a man-machine with a Kryptonite heart. Corben realizes he now has superhuman strength and sets out to exact revenge on the Red-Blue Blur, who he perceives to be an irresponsible vigilante. Against Clark’s (Tom Welling) wishes, Lois (Erica Durance) involves herself in the Red-Blue Blur’s investigation, and winds up getting kidnapped by Corben. (Krypton Site)
Sons of Anarchy
Katey Sagal says the fallout from her character’s brutal rape in last week’s premiere will reverberate throughout the season. “Everybody is asked to pick what side they are on and everyone is reacting to what happened to me and trying to get vengeance,” she reveals. “There is a lot of stuff about protecting the club and protecting individuals. And they assume they know who is responsible for this horrible thing that happened, but they may not be correct. Things get worse before they get better.” (Michael Ausiello)
There will be retribution for what happened to Gemma, but not right away. (Watch With Kristin)
Watch for cracks in the relationship between Zobelle and Weston. Henry Rollins says: “What my character comes to realize is that my boss, Ethan Zobelle, he has no friends. He uses everybody. In fact, those who are close to him, perhaps get used the hardest. Adam Arkin is an amazing guy, but his character is a really bad dude. Like, scary bad. Millions of dollars behind him bad. Cops, judges and politicians in his pocket bad. He can have you killed right now, in a prison or on an airplane, you can’t get away bad. Me, I’m more of an analog, linear bad guy, who works for him, thinking stupidly that we’re pals.” (Watch With Kristin)
Stargate Universe
General O’Neil (Richard Dean Anderson) and Dr. Rush recruit Eli Wallace to join the Stargate program when he solves an Ancient mathematical equation that was embedded in an online video game. They embark to the newly established Icarus base via the U.S.S. George Hammond (as Commanded by Amanda Tapping’s Col. Carter), the latest in the Daedalus class ships. Wallace is given a crash course on the Stargate with some help from video recording by Michael Shank’s Dr. Daniel Jackson! The ship arrives several light years from Earth at a planet with unique elemental properties needed to activate the gate (dismissing the theory that Icarus base was on the moon, sorry folks) and Wallace and Dr. Rush prepare to initiate the 9th Chevron. The base comes under attack from unknown forces (it is implied that the attackers are the Lucian Alliance, villains established late in the SG-1 series). The gate is activated and the base was to be evacuated back to Earth, but at the last moment Rush and Wallace figure out how to use the 9th Chevron (through some trial and error) and the evacuation happens just in the nick of time! The survivors find themselves onboard the Ancient Ship known as the Destiny, which was charged with traveling to the far reaches of the Universe. The ship was following another ship that traveled ahead to create and seed Stargates to new worlds for exploration. Using the Ancient Communication stones (established in SG-1) Dr. Rush is able to communicate back to Earth to let them know of the current situation. The more pressing problem is that the Destiny is falling apart and is in need of repair. Supplies are low and there is no way to change the ship’s course. Now Rush and the crew are along for the ride into worlds unknown. In order to fix the air purification system, a team is dispatched through the gate to search for limestone. But time is short as the ship will jump back into Faster Than Light Travel after a certain amount of time. (Comics Online)
Supernatural
Sam (Jared Padalecki) tells Dean (Jensen Ackles) he wants to rejoin Dean in the battle of the Apocalypse, but Dean tells Sam that they are better off apart.

Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) appears to Dean and explains that this is the world that exists as a result of Dean saying no to helping the angels fight Lucifer. Dean meets up with Future Dean, who tells him that the virus is the Devil’s endgame for destroying mankind. (SPNSite)
The Office
We’ll learn in the season premiere that someone at Dunder Mifflin has been having an affair, and for once it’s not Angela. (Watch With Kristin)
True Blood
Alan Ball isn’t ruling out incorporating a major (and controversial) plot point from the books that, up to now, has only been hinted at in the series (spoiler alert): That Bill came to Bon Temps and seduced Sookie with the ulterior motive of getting her to work for Queen Sophie-Anne. “It’s certainly something that I found really compelling in the books,” says Ball of Bill’s deep dark secret. “I was like, ‘Wow.’ But I can’t really tell you what I’m going to do story-wise. So much of the appeal of the show depends on the element of surprise.” (Michael Ausiello) [Editors Note: I hope so, seeing as it such a MAIN storyline and subsequent books deal with the falling out including the rumor of Eric and Sookie officially becoming an item in the upcoming book. Ball has cut enough corners, he needs to stay closer to the book, it far more interesting than his off book stuff. Ball has visualized the world of Sookie Stackhouse perfectly, its a shame that he strays so far from the books.]
We will also meet Sam’s blood relatives, the super bad vampire Franklin Mott, we’ll meet Debbie Pelt, we will also meet the people who live in Hotshot a little bit ahead of schedule. (Michael Ausiello)
We have not seen the last of the Fellowship of the Sun. Just because Steve got humiliated, they still exist. And maybe he’s angrier than ever. (Michael Ausiello)
Evan Rachel Wood won’t be a series regular, but she will appear. Every state has its own vampire royalty. We will meet the King of Mississippi. Interesting things happening between him and Evan’s Queen. (Michael Ausiello)
On why Sookie susceptible to Maryann’s powers but Jason was, Alan Ball comments: “They have the same parents. We will find out what Sookie is [next season]. There are such things as dominant and recessive genes. Maybe Jason is fundamentally human but he has a trace of some non-human stuff. He’s kind of a ridiculously perfect [human being]. He’s athletic and has that charisma thing, so maybe he had some help in that regard. [Laughs] Ultimately, if you look at percentages, he’s mostly human. Sookie has a stronger genetic predisposition in another direction. People who have read the books know exactly what I’m talking about. People who haven’t, it will be revealed.” (Michael Ausiello)
Jason is going to be consumed with guilt. And he’s going to feel like, “I’ve ruined her life and I’ve got to make her [Tara] feel better.” Whether that’s wise in any way shape or form remains to be seen. I think Tara certainly gave up on her obsession with Jason, but now that she’s dealing with the worst thing that ever happened to her, she might be more vulnerable to his charms. (Michael Ausiello)
Hoyt and Jessica still love each other. But there will be problems. (Michael Ausiello)
We will see more and more of Lafayette. He built a lot of walls around himself. But we will see him get vulnerable next year — and not just being afraid of Eric. (Michael Ausiello)
There are plans to give Lafayette a boyfriend. (Michael Ausiello)
Maryanne is dead says Alan Ball: “Yes, she’s gone. They destroyed her. She will never rise.” (Michael Ausiello)
Alcide, the werewolf who helps Sookie in the third book will be introduced in the third season. (Michael Ausiello)
Alan Ball talking about following the books: “We take the gist of the books, [but] we will depart whenever we feel like it makes better television as opposed to reading. We continue to use the books as templates. But now that I’ve read all nine books there are things that are revealed in later books that we are moving up so that they’ll probably happen in the show earlier than they do in the books.” (Michael Ausiello)
Alan Ball talking about what to expect in the third season: We’ll meet the Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington. And we’ll encounter werewolves for the first time in the flesh; we’ve heard about them, but we’ll meet them. I’m very excited about the character of Debbie Pelt. She’s bad news… Debbie Pelt is the ex-girlfriend of a guy who’s helping Sookie try to find Bill, and she is just hard ass, white trash bitch on wheels. She’s so much fun. But there are other great characters, too. Everybody is struggling with identity in season three – What am I? Who am I? What is my life? Is it what I want it to be? How do I make it what I want it to be? What are my real values? And some people are like, “Am I human? I always thought I was, but maybe I was wrong.” In one particular case, its like, “Yes, honey, you were wrong.” (TV Squad)
Chances are we’ll see the Newlins in the third season (and they’ll be pissed). Also Alan Ball softened Eric’s image a bit in Season Two to make him seem viable as a love interest for Sookie. (Televisionary)
Warehouse 13
The season-finale cliffhanger reveals that Artie’s nemesis (Roger Rees) is also linked to two other warehouse women—with terrible consequences for the artifacts and their protectors. Especially Artie himself. (Watch With Kristin)
