Hi fellas.

I hope everyone having a wonderfull weekend. I was fooling among tv.com pages this time. And I saw so many new news. I just wanted to share woth you in case you migt have missed

PRISON BREAK

Prison Break series finale dated

Wentworth and Dominic wrap things up and take down The Company (or not) in May.

The series finale will get a proper two-hour sendoff and air on May 15. Fox's description of the finale is fairly simple: "Familiar faces return to help Michael end his quest to bring down The Company once and for all."

But EW.com has some more details with non-specific spoilers (i.e. events are described, but names aren't given; read on at your own risk). The site says there will be two major deaths and four old characters returning for the wrap up.

24

24 moving cities for day 8

Jack Bauer will fight terrorism, shout "Damn!" in a whole new city next season; CTU set to rebuild and return. Which city?

I think I can shoot Jersey from here.

Jack Bauer did his duty by protecting Los Angeles for much of the early portion of 24's run, and this season took his patriotic ass-kicking show to the nation's capitol. But the upcoming season/day eight will find him in an all-new urban jungle.

Season eight will take on the city so nice they named it twice, according to EW.com. That's right, Jack Bauer will be roaming the streets of New York City stopping domestic threats, three-card-monty scammers, and rogue hot dog vendors.

The next cycle of 24 will also feature the return of the CTU, which was disbanded in season seven. The counter-terrorism unit will be headed up by an all-new to-be-cast character, as well as a pair of young hotshot agents.

FRINGE

Fringe's code cracked?

Unusual symbols before commercial breaks mean something after all; one man figures it out, posts results online.

Fringe's Rosetta Stone?

Those who watch Fringe know that there is something more to the show than its weird-case-of-the-week crackdown. Fringe is full of Easter Eggs--little goodies hidden within the show--and one of the more perplexing gems has finally been solved... we think.

When Fox's sci-fi drama heads to commercial break, a spooky blue symbol--which include an apple, a waft of smoke, a human hand--sits on screen for a few seconds. We've always known that they're supposed to mean something, but we may have been looking too hard.

It turns out the solution is simpler than we thought. Tech Web site Ars Technica editor Julian Sanchez took a stab at the puzzle (which was being worked on by friends) and discovered that each symbol corresponds to a single letter of the alphabet--like a Sunday newspaper cryptogram. When the symbols shown during each episode are put together, they spell out a word that corresponds to the episode's theme. Some examples include the words "Rogue," "Taken," and "Olivia."

But, given that breaking the code was fairly simple, Sanchez thinks there may be even more to the puzzle… something larger that we're all missing. In a second post, he thinks it's quite possible that the simple code was just to get things going for a larger puzzle that will continue through successive seasons.

Both of his posts (linked below) are very interesting reads, and should be checked out by all Fringe fans and those who love puzzles.

DOLL HOUSE

Fox won't air final Dollhouse episode

Joss Whedon's ambitious show will be cut short by one; 12th episode reportedly original vision for season finale.

We're imprinting you with the personality of someone who will storm into the Fox offices and punch people.

Uh-oh… more bad news for fans of Dollhouse. Fox e-mailed out the highlights from its upcoming May schedule, and one thing appears to be missing: the final episode of Joss Whedon's new action show.

On May 8, Fox will air the episode titled "Omega," which the network describes as a season finale. But there's just one problem: "Omega" is only the show's 12th episode and the crew shot 13. The episode that won't air is titled "Epitaph One."

The news appears to have been confirmed with Felicia Day, who starred in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and had a role in "Epitaph One." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Day used her Twitter account to say, "Man, day getting worse and worse. Found out my Dollhouse ep, #13 isn't gonna air. Only on DVD. Such a great part too. Thx Fox. ..."

However, according to some from Whedon's camp, "Omega" is actually Whedon's original idea of a season finale, so season one won't feel cut short. But the obvious question is "if that was the season finale, why did they shoot an extra episode?"

It looks as though Fox cut Dollhouse's run short in order to make room for the two-hour Prison Break series finale.

This should in no way be interpreted as the show being cancelled, but it isn't a good sign either.

UPDATE: According to television critic Alan Sepinwall, Fox apparently considers the original pilot (Joss Whedon re-shot the first episode) as part of the 13-episode order, and "Epitaph One" was produced independently by the studio. Therefore, Fox doesn't feel as though they need to air the extra episode (and if that's the case, it's a legitimate decision). It is believed the unaired episode will be part of the season one DVD box set.

SARAH CRONICLES

Report: Terminator is done

Online site says Fox won't be renewing Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Fox staying quiet.

Terminator is pretty much done, say sources.

Networks love to play coy about the future of their shows. Even if they know the answer to the question of whether or not "Show X" will be back or not, they just smile and say, "We haven't made a decision yet." Heck, even when the new fall schedules are posted without "Show X," networks tend to be cagey. Just rip off the Band-Aid already!

Networks may have a hard time dumping shows, but show insiders have no problem dishing on the relationship between studio execs and the programs they air. And the latest chatter inside Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles isn't good.

According to EW.com's Michael Ausiello (who in the past has been very reliable) Fox has already made the decision to cancel Terminator. Ausiello cites the ever-present inside source, who says, "It's done. Everybody has pretty much known for a couple of weeks." Another source says, "Consider it cancelled."

And what does Fox say? "No decision has been made yet."

Terminator fans can keep their fingers crossed for a last-minute pardon, but it doesn't look good. Let the comment explosion begin!

HEROES

NBC asks for shorter Heroes

Expect shorter seasons of NBC's struggling sci-fi show from here on out; how will this affect its two-volume seasons?

Only 20 episodes? That's highly illogical.

Word has already gotten out that NBC will be bringing back Heroes for a fourth season, but things may look a little different when all is said and done. NBC is looking to cut back on the episode count of Heroes when it returns next year, says Adage, citing the economy and a growing trend of shorter seasons.

Heroes had been the beneficiary of a super-sized season this cycle, with 25 episodes ordered by the network. But that should trim down to 18 to 20 next season, as NBC's one-time love affair with Sylar and buddies has faded since a worrisome ratings drop-off and the economy forces networks to cut corners any chance they get.

While this would simply mean less hours for a normal show, Heroes likes to do things a little different. The show squeezed two independent mini-seasons (called Volumes) into this season, one taking 12 episodes, the other taking the remainder. It's unclear whether Heroes will try a two-fer with fewer episodes next season.

The notion of a shorter season shouldn't be too surprising. Cable loves to go with shorter seasons for its original programs, and major networks have been experimenting with shorter seasons for their broadcasts. Personally, I think many dramas--particularly serialized shows--suffer creatively with longer seasons and I welcome these new truncated seasons with open arms occupied by tubs of popcorn and remote controls.

HOUSE

House: Cuddy kisses and tells

Actress Lisa Edelstein discusses what's in store for Cuddy's upcoming romp on Fox's medical drama.

Warning: Slight spoilers ahead for those that don't follow upcoming storylines in House. The writers for Fox's House have no problems dropping bombshells on the hit show--we're still reeling over Kal Penn's exit--but what's in store over the next few episodes may be the mother of them all.

Actress Lisa Edelstein, who plays Dr. Lisa Cuddy on House chatted with the media about the big event that Fox hasn't been shy about promoting: a hookup between Cuddy and cranky Dr. House (Hugh Laurie).

"It was great," Edelstein said of filming the scene. "I have a great relationship with Hugh Laurie, and he's super sexy, so who could complain?" She added, "You're not going to see me get naked or anything, but it was a pretty hot scene."

But it's not the fact that Cuddy and House get it on that's the big drama, it's the repercussions--hence Fox being okay with letting one cat out of the bag, but not the whole litter. Trying to get details out of Edelstein, however, is about as difficult as trying to change House's mind.

"I can't tell you that!" "I can't divulge." "I don't want to ruin it." Those statements, and variations of them, were repeated several times by the actress when pushed for information about what happens between Cuddy and House. All she will say is, "I loved the way they got House and Cuddy together… they were suffering so much and that's what brought them together." But will it last?

"I don't necessarily think it will ever be satisfying in terms of them settling down and saying, 'This is what we're doing,'" Edelstein says of their chances. "I think [Cuddy] has problems with men, she likes the messed up ones. I can relate." Edelstein says we'll get a better idea of how things shake out in the May 11 finale.

Talk moves to the season's other bombshell--Kal Penn's exit by way of his character's suicide a few weeks ago. "We were all taken by surprise, they really kept it under wraps," she explains. "For Kal, I think it's a really bold move. He has a passion for politics and certainly the Obama administration. I think it's very brave [what he's doing]."
