Breaking Bad
Bryan Cranston talks about the new season: “The thing that my character was always worried about was having my wife find out what I’m doing. This season, she finds out. I still don’t know how she’s taking it, but she’s freaked out. My thought was if she ever finds out, it’s over.” (Watch With Kristin)

Unfortunately, it sounds like married life doesn’t suit Sara. “I think she’s struggling a little bit with being a housewife,” Marg Helgenberger says, explaining why Mrs. Grissom returns to the team. “She comes [to help us] from Paris, where her husband is giving some kind of a lecture series.” (TV Guide)

Marc Cherry is giving Dana Delany one helluva meaty storyline this season. (Michael Ausiello)

John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer will claim a high-profile victim (a.k.a. significant character) during the first half of the season. (Michael Ausiello)
Look for Dexter and Rita to get a very surprising houseguest in November. (Michael Ausiello)
Dexter kill agains about 50 minutes into the premiere, give or take a few diaper changes. But the methodically pristine Dexter we’re used to will make a few huge errors when his ritual is interrupted by a phone call from Rita. I’ll say this much: Get ready for a scavenger hunt in Episode 2. (TV Guide)
Dollhouse
Alan Tudyk confirmed that Alpha will be back for the end of Dollhouse’s second season: “We’ve kind of been back and forth about [how many episodes I'll appear in]. I’ve been a little busy . . . I think I’m going to be in the last few episodes, three or four episodes of the season . . . What is Echo without Alpha?” (Michael Ausiello)

Declining Darryl’s offer of a high-powered – and high-priced – divorce attorney, Kat decides to give Raymond another chance, but is she only delaying the inevitable?

Ghost Whisperer
This season takes place five years in the future. (Watch With Kristin)
Jennifer Love Hewitt talks about Melinda’s new son: “The baby is going to have a gift, a gift that is far superior to his mommy’s,” she said. “We will also meet Eli’s parents this year, in one of our most controversial episodes yet, the third episode.” (Watch With Kristin)
Glee
Kristin Chenoweth will play the coach of a competing glee club who likes her hooch well-aged and her man candy barely legal. “Let’s just say it’s a character that you haven’t seen me play before,” Chenoweth says. (TV Guide)
Grey’s Anatomy
The show will shift its focus to more character-centric episodes, according to executive producer Krista Vernoff. One hour, for example, will be almost exclusively dedicated to Derek and a patient. Seattle Grace’s merger with Mercy West will bring in some new blood — and cut loose some long-standing characters. “There are some that stay [and] some that don’t make it,” says Chandra Wilson. “There will be some familiar faces . . . we wanted the audience to be able to feel that this is a huge thing and that there was a loss there.” (TV Guide)
In Thursday’s big season premiere, when Lexie confides in Mark about her feelings regarding George’s demise. It’s a quiet, gentle scene in the locker room. (Watch With Kristin)

Meanwhile, Angela (Cristine Rose) tries to help the new “Nathan” (Adrian Pasdar) remember his past, at the risk of his remembering too much. Elsewhere, Tracy (Ali Larter) is determined to get her old job back, but soon realizes that she needs to make more of an impact. Jack Coleman, James Kyson Lee, Zachary Quinto and Milo Ventimiglia also star. HeroSite.net
Episode 4 – Acceptance
As Hiro’s (Masi Oka) life continues to hang in the balance, he distracts himself with saving the lives of others. Meanwhile, Angela (Cristine Rose) tries to help the new “Nathan” (Adrian Pasdar) remember his past, at the risk of his remembering too much. Elsewhere, Tracy (Ali Larter) is determined to get her old job back, but soon realizes that she needs to make more of an impact. (SpoilerTV)
House
As it stands now, House tells someone he loves Cuddy. (Michael Ausiello)
Cuddy’s sister factors into the Thanksgiving episode story somehow, but we don’t actually meet her. (Michael Ausiello)
According to executive producer Katie Jacobs, Robert Sean Leonard’s long-grieving alter ego will sever his final tie to Amber by year’s end. “Wilson is still living in Amber’s apartment,” Jacobs points out. “And we said to ourselves, ‘How long can he live in the shadow of that relationship?’” Apparently about a year-and-a-half, since, per Jacobs, “He’s actually going to move out of Amber’s apartment and into a new place way down the line in episode 8 or 9.” Where does this leave House, who beginning next week starts crashing with his BFF? In what will no doubt be a boon to the burgeoning Hilson movement, Jacobs says they’ll get a new pad together. (Michael Ausiello)
Olivia Wilde says that House’s eventual return to the hospital causes a great deal of disruption. “House has changed, and that means our environment has changed. Everyone approaches House’s recovery differently. They all have very different relationships to him this season, and it reveals a little bit more about similarities that some of us may have with House.” (Watch With Kristin)
Chase is plenty busy this season. Jesse Spencer says, “I’m back on the team. It’s kinda old-school: Cameron and Chase, kickin’ it old-school. The merging of the teams is a work in progress. People are back and forth, and in and out, but I think very soon it’s going to be a complete conglomeration of old and new. It’s going to be a new dynamic for the team, which I think is going to be really good.” Spencer adds, “I’ve got a lot of storylines coming my way. There’s a bit of dodgy doctoring going on. But dodgy doctoring is all we do on the show. Bend the rules a little bit – that’s what House does. If House was practicing medicine [in the real world], he’d have lot his license on day one.” (Watch With Kristin)
Peter Jacobson (an actor we always enjoy speaking with) says Taub’s just fine with House being gone from Princeton-Plainsboro: “Taub is somewhat relieved to not be the subject of such abuse, as he has been. For Taub it is actually a little bit frustrating, because there are a lot of dynamic shifts and different politics on the team and in the hospital, because House isn’t as he was. We don’t always necessarily know who is in charge. I came to the hospital for very specific reasons, three years ago, and I’m not sure those reasons are sustained at the moment.” OK, but give us one more good tease about the season! Says Jacobsen, “Well, we have one cool case with a suburban Jewish guy who’s a porn star, which I think is funny.” (Watch With Kristin)
Lie To Me
The new season will further explore Lightman’s relationship with his ex-wife (Jennifer Beals), which Tim Roth says is a product of the show’s turn toward more character arcs. Also, look for Jericho’s Lennie James to pop up as a man from Lightman’s past who’s back to stir up some trouble. (TV Guide)
Lost
A source claims both Juliet and Sawyer get “closure” on the island in the season premiere. And the cab driver whom Kate car-jacks is played by David H. Lawrence XVII, the “puppet-master” from last season of Heroes. (SpoilersLost)
The fourth episode is title Substitute and is a Locke-Centric Episode. (SpoilerTV)
So apparently all the filming that’s been taking place, involving the safe landing of Oceanic flight 815, is from the season’s third episode, entitled “What Kate Does.” And there are tons of set reports and inside dirt. Apparently, on the plane, Jack and Cindy the stewardess talk about drinks, and Rose waits for Bernard to get back from the bathroom — then there’s turbulence, but Bernard returns from the bathroom in one piece. Charlie gets sick and calls out for a doctor. Boone is annoyed at not being in first class, and Boone and Locke have some words.
When the plane lands, the sickly Charlie is led off the plane first and Locke is put in his wheelchair. Dr. Arzt recognizes Hurley as “that Chicken Shack guy” and asks him to say his catch phrase. Jin and Sun are talking in Korean, and Jin is being a jerk again. Meanwhile, Jack is upset because his father’s coffin has gone missing, and the funeral is in two hours.
As for Kate, she’s handcuffed to the U.S. Marshall, but gives him the slip in the bathroom. And that taxi she commandeers at gunpoint has a pregnant Claire already sitting in it. Sounds like Kate tosses the taxi driver out and drives away, with Claire still in the cab. They drive to a big house near where Hurley used to live, and then an unknown woman opens the door and says she can’t adopt Claire’s baby: “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I really wanted this. But my husband… I just can’t have the baby right now.” Claire starts going into labor and Kate shouts “Call a doctor.” (IO9)
Medium
The season opener is set about four months after Allison’s surgery, and she still hasn’t regained her power or the full use of her left side. Luckily, she stops by the D.A.’s office where she stumbles into a new mystery that helps her resolve both those problems. (Watch With Kristin)
Parks and Recreation
We’re also going to see a more likable side to Aziz’s Tom, who last season was kind of an ass and put on a womanizing front. We’d almost forgotten he was married! We find out a little bit more about his relationship with his wife. And in the third episode, he gets to judge a beauty pageant, which for him is going to be a blast. (Watch With Kristin)
Smallville
In the November 20 episode, Pandora, we’ll see exactly what happened when Lois disappeared for three weeks. (Michael Ausiello)
As you may already know, the new season picks up three weeks after the last season ended. And no sooner does Lois reappear mysteriously than she’s being chased by a Kryptonian ninja-chick. We see lots of lois and Ollie interacitng, and we also get lots of scenes inside the Watchtower, including some scenes with Dr. Hamilton. (Krypton Site)
In the third episode Rabid, Zod (Callum Blue) and his soldiers release a virus into the air that turns humans into zombies. The only way to stop it is to make an antidote from the blood of another Kryptonian. After Lois (Erica Durance) is infected, Chloe (Allison Mack) pleads with Clark (Tom Welling) to donate his blood to stop the epidemic, even though it risks outing him to Zod. (Krypton Site)
In his quest to become the Man of Steel, Clark shuns pretty much everyone. He is particularly icy to Chloe, for whom he refuses to go back in time to save Jimmy. But The Blur does come to Lois in her time of need. (TV Guide)
Set three weeks after the events of the finale, Clark (Tom Welling) is training to be Superman and is struggling with leaving his humanity behind. He’s frustrated with his inability to fly, but is told by trainer Jor-El it’s because, “You still see yourself as a human.” (Watch With Kristin)
Clark’s relationship with Chloe (Allison Mack) is downright rocky, while he remains obsessed with Lois. (Watch With Kristin)
Lois doesn’t have a clue where she was for the last three weeks, but when she returns it’s in the company of a freaky Kryptonic-ninja lady from the future who’s out to get Clark. And watch out for Lois’ scary dream sequence at the end of the episode: there’s sex, sweat, blood and death. (Watch With Kristin)
Supernatural
The Future Dean is the leader of a resistance camp, and we discover the fate of the Chevy Impala — it’s up on cinder blocks, rusted and gutted. Dean is “like, ‘oh baby, what did they do to you?’” says Jensen Ackles. (PopWatch)
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) decide to start hunting together again and their first case leads them to a small town whose inhabitants are being killed by famous dead icons like Abraham Lincoln and James Dean’s car. However, after two teenage girls come forward and claim their friend was kidnapped by Paris Hilton (in a cameo role as herself), the brothers aren’t sure what they are hunting anymore. (SPNSite)
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. Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into zombies. 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.
The season’s fourth episode, “The End,” features Dean traveling into the future to the year 2014, when a demonic virus is turning people into zombies, and Zachariah explains that this is the world that results from Dean’s refusal to help the angels fight Lucifer. Dean also meets his future self. It’s a Dean-heavy episode, to be sure, but Sam will appear about ten minutes before then end, and his appearance will make his absence from the rest of the episode make sense. (Watch With Kristin)
The Big Bang Theory
Kunal Nayyar talks about the new season: “This season Sheldon and Penny butt heads, now that Penny is dating Leonard, and they try to work things out, but not so much!” says Kunal, “Howard and Rajesh just try to pick up women and make fun of Leonard for going there with Penny. We also have some great guest stars: Lewis Black, Laurie Metcalfe is back, and we just cast Wil Wheaton in episode six. I am almost positive he’s going to play a nerd.” (Watch With Kristin)
The Office
Dwight and Angela will eventually be reunited, according to both Angela Kinsey and Rainn Wilson. “They’re soul mates,” Kinsey told me on the Emmy red carpet. “They’re going to find each other.” Added Wilson: “I think they are destined to be together. I think it’s just a matter of when the writers need to dig that storyline back up and lay it back in.” (Michael Ausiello)
According to B.J. Novak, “Ryan gets into photography.” (Watch With Kristin)
“There’s something nutty that happens at the rehearsal dinner,” Ellie Kemper (who plays the new receptionist, Erin) says of Jim and Pam’s wedding, really emphasizing the word nutty. “It will become clear how smart that was, what I just said, when you watch it. There’s something that happens that’s nuts.” (TV Guide)
Jim and Pam’s baby will be present and accounted for throughout the season. In fact, the baby daddy, John Krasinski, says, “They have a very elaborate process for making sure Pam’s tummy grows at the right rate. It’s crazy–they put way more thought into the show than I do, obviously. I would have shot it and then been like, oh, we forgot about the bump! And the wedding episode is going to be really, really fun. It feels like a premiere, even though it’s our fourth episode in.” (Watch With Kristin)
True Blood
Alan Ball confirms that he’s currently casting the role of Talbot, “trophy husband” to Denis O’Hare’s King of Mississippi. (Michael Ausiello)
Ugly Betty
A woman Daniel meets at a bereavement class will become his assistant and confidante. She’ll look like Entourage’s Jamie Lynn Sigler, but with a twist. “You won’t recognize me in my hair and makeup,” Sigler hints. “It’s kind of a disguise.” (TV Guide)
Vampire Diaries
Episode 5 – You’re Undead To Me
Stefan (Paul Wesley) is hopeful that his plan to get rid of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is working. Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Jenna (Sara Canning) are concerned about Jeremy’s (Steven R. McQueen) relationship with Vicki (Kayla Ewell). Stefan decides to reveal parts of his past to Elena. At a fund-raising car wash, Bonnie (Katerina Graham) is surprised by abilities she didn’t know she possessed, and seeks advice from her grandmother (Jasmine Guy). Finally, Elena hears a disturbing story about the Salvatore family from a stranger. (VampireSite.net)
