I miss seeing Jack and Juliet together on Lost. Is there anything to look forward to? — Maria
MATT: It's a good thing spring has sprung, because, I am sad to say, it looks like you won't have any "Jacket" to keep you warm. When I asked Elizabeth Mitchell about what's ahead for Juliet and Jack, she said, "We very rarely have anything to do together anymore, but we do have a few moments, and they are very rich and full." So get while the getting is good, 'shippers.
Are CSI's Wendy and Hodges ever going to get more face time? Together? — Angelic
TIM: They will indeed. In a Battlestar-studded April episode, as they investigate a murder at a sci-fi convention, Wendy and Hodges discover their mutual love ...

Pushing Daisies fans still have some mourning to do, but Bryan Fuller's return to Heroes is already boding well for them.
The series' creator wrote a part for Daisies star Swoosie Kurtz to air this spring, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

Add Pushing Daisies and Men in Trees to the list of shows preparing season finales as a result of the writers' strike.Daisies creator extraordinaire Bryan Fuller informs me that the show's ninth episode — the last one for which a script is written — can function as a season finale in the event the strike extends into the new year and beyond."As we were scrambling to rewrite [Episode 9]," he reveals, "we added several elements that will put many balls into the air and hopefully encourage the audience to come back and see how they land."Fuller confirms that production on the potential season finale got under way today, which means "our crew will now be able to work through Thanksgiving." Over at Men in Trees, show-runner Jenny Bicks reports that prior to the strike, she prepared an alternate ending "in case the last episode we have written becomes our finale. We would be sad if this happened, but we are prepared." As I pointed out in my handy strike chart, MIT — which c...

Question: I am trying very hard to be a fan of Pushing Daisies. I thought series creator Bryan Fuller's Dead Like Me was just magnificent. There was not a character on that series who I didn't love, even the actors who had never appealed to me previously. While there are some elements in Daisies I find very amusing, there are so many positive reviews out there that I can't help but wonder if I'm watching the same show. Here's my beef: When I read the show's concept, I thought the idea of the girl he couldn't touch was great. But now I find Anna Friel's Chuck to be about as milquetoast as the new Jaime Sommers, and maybe even more so. To see Lee Pace drawn to her rather than to the brilliant and nearly perfectly played Olive (Kristin Chenoweth) is unbelievable and certainly disappointing. I honestly keep hoping Ned will accidentally touch Chuck so the real fun can begin. I feel like I'm waiting for the scenes that Chuck is in to end so they'll get back to the fun, and I can't believe ...

Question: Almost every glowing review of Pushing Daisies has asked the same question: Would episodes following the pilot hold up? Well, I have just seen the second episode, and in my opinion, it truly has. In fact, I think I might have liked the second episode even better than the pilot, which I thought was near perfect. I enjoyed "Dummy" on every level. The acting was amazing. Ned and Chuck are already my favorite TV couple ever. Olive's musical number was inspired. The humor was classic Bryan Fuller. All in all, a near-perfect television experience. Unfortunately, a lot of viewers seem disgusted at how "cute" the show is. While I know every show has its naysayers, it bothers me more here than anywhere else, because as we all know, any show that's this different is taking a huge chance. But this is one show that truly deserves an audience and long life. Pushing Daisies makes me smile for an hour after each viewing. Whenever Ned and Chuck look at each other, my heart breaks. I've never ...

Color me charmed, again. If you don’t like quirky this is definitely not the show for you. I think at least one, if not a few of you, expressed concerns about the procedural element of the show. If Ned can touch someone and ask who killed them, their cases are going to be pretty cut and dried. But as we saw in this episode, they were given what Chuck called a clue but Emerson called evidence to help them solve the case. New things we learned:• Emerson is a closet knitter. That knitting needle definitely came in handy when they were trapped in those body bags. And he makes a mean gun cozy.• Chuck knows Japanese. Living with her shut-in Aunts, Chuck developed a curiosity about the world. She learned quite a few languages before her untimely demise.• The narrator will never lie to us. I know some of you aren’t big fans, but I still love how Jim Dale is the voice of reason. Even when every single person is spouting nothing but lies, Jim tells the truth.Let’...
