Matt Dallas, Kyle XY
When Kyle touched Jessi, sparks flew — literally. The moment the Kyle XY (Mondays, 8 pm/ET, ABC Family) costars embraced for a scene in an upcoming episode, real-life thunderbolts crashed and lightning flashed so fiercely that crew members on the Vancouver rooftop fled "like little girls," according to star Matt Dallas. "It would have been amazing if we had been able to shoot that."
If that kind of explosive moment between Dallas and Jaimie Alexander can be duplicated on screen, the teen superhero show might surge beyond its current cult-hit status.
Like Smallville in its early years, Kyle XY blends high-school tribulations — cliques, proms and infidelity — with sci-fi intrigue full of power-hungry villains, life-threa

Welcome back to the rest of Season 2 of Kyle XY. ABC Family's decision to show the first half of the season last summer/fall was a nice treat, because now we will actually have 10 weeks of fresh episodes instead of being subjected to reruns due to the writers' strike.Overall I was expecting more. I was let down by this episode. Kyle was going to jump off the edge after Jessi, but Foss, stops him. Is Jessi really dead? Kyle is starting to realize that Foss has been taking care of Baylin but the rest of the organization still exists, and has been helping Foss take care of Baylin.Kyle has been told to tell the Trager the truth. Kyle spills the truth. Josh has the expected reaction. "Whoa, that is so much cooler than anything he could think of."Nicole is not upset, she welcomes him home. Steven, Nicole, and Kyle are plotting how to bring down Madacorp. Kyle has balls, he walks right up to Ballantine and states, " hear you were looking for me?" Kyle wants to make a deal with Ballantine ...

Jaimie Alexander and Matt Dallas in Kyle XY by Bob D'Amico/ABC Family
Kyle XY has many superpowers, and here's another one to add to the list: strike resistance. The ABC Family sci-fi series returns Jan. 14 for the second half of Season 2. All 10 episodes were written and filmed before the Writers Guild went on strike. The show will continue to air on Mondays at 8 pm/ET.When the show returns, superboy Kyle (Matt Dallas) will finally tell his adopted family, the Tragers, the truth about his test-tube origins, and they will set out to take down Madacorp, the shadowy company attempting to control Kyle and Jessi (Jaimie Alexander). In September's cliff-hanger, Jessi literally jumped off a cliff when she realized she couldn't be trusted not to betray Kyle. Her fate will be revealed in the first episode to return.

OK, again, digging ya’ll who checked in last week. The fun we had, huh? And what better way to recover from the lost joys of The Land of the Lost than with some love for the City of Brotherly Love. As bhm1304 guessed last week, the best FX sitcom you’re not watching is…It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.Granted, while it’s not really always sunny here, as a right proud Philly boy who just spent Labor Day wandering Center City, reading in Rittenhouse Square and chowing down on The Continental’s insane crab Pad Thai, I have to say that this town does indeed rock.Much like this dirty little gem. Centered on foul-mouthed pub owners Mac, Charlie and Dennis, his barmaid sister Sweet Dee and a still unnamed coffee-shop waitress who could teach Friends Gunther a thing or two about stealing scenes, Sunny is best compared to Seinfeld…if Jerry’s posse had less morals and raging drinking problems. Once Danny DeVito joins in for season 2 as Dee and Dennis&#...

Jaimie Alexander and Matt Dallas, Kyle XY
Sorry, Kyle XY fans, but after tonight's episode (8 pm/ET, ABC Family), there won't be anything new from the test-tube teen and his crew until early 2008, when the last 10 episodes of Season 2 air. TVGuide.com caught up with star Matt Dallas shortly after his return to the Vancouver set from what he calls "a little three-week hiatus," to probe him for tidbits about the summer finale and next winter's plots. TVGuide.com: How has your summer been?Matt Dallas: I was at Comic-Con. It was great. You get to talk to the fans and you don't get any jerks, because people who waited in line for two hours love your show. They're the true fans.TVGuide.com: Did you get to meet other sci-fi stars?Dallas: Doing the TV Guide panel was awesome because I got to meet some great people, especially

I have no clue where to start. I am still trying to process this episode in my head, so my thoughts are going to be brief, but hopefully structured.I am guessing that Jessi is already missing when the episode starts, and the Tragers have already been told. It seems that Jessi has had a complete mental breakdown and ran away. I’m pretty certain that the treatments Madacorp did are at the root of Jessi’s loss of her grasp on reality.Nicole, being the protective mother, decides to lock down the kids and keep them in the house. As a result, Declan, Amanda, Andy and Hilary all come over to see various members of the family. Hilary and Lori are trying to figure out the perfect way of getting even with Jessi, while Andy and Josh are just hanging out, playing games and growing closer. Declan comes over to talk to Kyle, and Kyle seems like he's in a dream state.Kyle is starting to realize that all the problems he is seeing with the people he loves are a result of Jessi. The majorit...

Tonight’s episode is about causes. Helping cancer research, and being environmentally friendly, but they really don’t weave either of these into the storyline. They both come across to me as just props. We were sort of throw head first into this fund-raising event for cancer research, but the stage really was not set. Why would the Tragers want to attend this event? They didn't seem to want to go to events like this last year. Only Josh and Nicole know about Andy’s cancer, so how did they convince Lori, Kyle and Declan to participate? We knew that Josh wanted to enter and win the car, but what caused Kyle and Jessi to enter?It was a bit convenient that both Kyle and Jessi ended up being drawn for a chance to win the car. I guess it was a way to set the stage so that we could focus on Kyle’s interaction with Jessi, in order to figure her out. The other main plotlines tonight were Josh’s interaction with Andy and how they are growing closer; Lori’s not t...

How will this mysterious entity mess things up for Kyle and his sweet neighbor/perhaps-love-interest, Amanda? Kirsten Prout, who plays Amanda, gave TVGuide.com a sneak peek at the "girl trouble" ahead.
TVGuide.com: Hey, where are you? I saw the first episode and no Amanda yet.Kirsten Prout: What they're doing is sort of getting into the whole Zyzzx story line, and then Amanda first shows up in the second episode. But that's what I said, too: "Uh-oh, where's Amanda?"
TVGuide.com: She's busy playing the piano.Prout: [Laughs] She is, she's off playing her piano.
