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

Finally a Foss-free episode.This episode was so much more interesting than last week's. It actually held my attention for most of the time.Someone breaks into Amanda’s house. Kyle knows that because he was working on bettering his hearing skills. Amanda’s mother really does not like Kyle. I know this started last season, but I still do not have a clear understanding as to what the root cause of that dislike is.Steven is bored and trying out Josh’s games. He tries multi-player gaming and uses Josh’s headset to see what keeps Josh so absorbed all of the time. He hears some interesting conversations. He is convinced that Josh is smoking pot and it turns out that his parents are his suppliers. I like to see them explain this to Josh. It does not go well, but Josh ends up getting grounded. However, Steven feels really bad about it. He tries to explain his reasoning to Josh.Meanwhile, Jessi arrives for her first session with Nicole, and it disrupts Kyle — he stops...

My head was so not into this episode this evening. I have Bon Jovi on the brain. Sorry about that, gang.The other issue I have is that there are too many pieces that don't add up or make sense.I know that Kyle is filmed in Vancouver and that the show is supposed to take place in the PacWest. It is supposed to be the start of the school year (Aug/Sept). Why was it cold enough to wear coats and scarves? But I loved the beach scene. It actually makes me miss the time I spent out in that area.So Zzyzx is controlled by Madacorp. If Madacorp has the power to "reprogram" Jessi in one day, don't they have the same ability to get the information out of Kyle's head?I am trying to figure out what is up with Declan? He is in love with Lori and does not want to break up with her. But he does. Why? Is the secret that Kyle asked him to protect consuming him? Why didn't Lori try to talk to Declan sooner? Why did she need to be drunk to confront Declan?Why couldn't Kyle tell Amanda that Charlie was ...

As last week's Season 2 premiere of ABC Family's Kyle XY (Mondays at 8 pm/ET) came to a close, viewers got their first glimpse at the "new girl in town," the experiment "XX," who has seemingly survived the explosion at Zyzzx. 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.

Before the second season of Kyle XY premieres next Monday, June 11, here's a refresher of where we left off. I spent last weekend watching Season 1 on DVD (available at Amazon), and the special extended-cut version of the DVD has some differences, but I think it works better.At the start of the last episode, Kyle's in the hospital recovering from his seizure on the merry-go-round, which befell him while straining to hear Declan and Charlie’s conversation. While he is in the hospital, we find out that Kyle supposedly disappeared five years earlier on his way to school. He was living in Hong Kong at that time. We also find out that the supposed reason that Kyle has no belly button is because as a child he had several operations to reposition his organs, and as a result, he was left without a belly button.Does anyone else find this hard to believe? First, if they really did that type of surgery, there would be visible scars on his skin that a trained eye, like a doctor, would be a...
