MATT: Why, did it look like Ziva was on death's doorstep in that secretly filmed torture scene? If so, think back to what NCIS boss Shane Brennan said about that grim cliff-hanger: Come September, "all will be revealed and you will be surprised. It will come at you from left field." (But, in a word: Yes. Sources whisper to me that Cote will be back.) Bonus buzzlet: Season 6 arrives on DVD Aug. 25!
Please tell us the rumors aren't true, and that Desperate Housewives isn't going with a melodramatic miscarriage storyline for Lynette. — Steph
MICKEY: Egads, this is morbid, Steph, but let's retrace our steps: Marc Cherry has said that he thinks a mother losing a child would be ... read more 48 Comments

Getting Lost: Theories on Kate's Sacrifice, Season Finale Talk and More | Today's News: Our Take | 3/5/2009
It's time again to be "Getting Lost," with the latest entry in TVGuide.com's weekly vodcast.
This time around, I've got executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse pondering nicknames for the Season 5 finale, which they happen to be writing as we speak/type. (Calm, everyone, calm....) Will the boys bake up a "bread," unleash another "snake," or dupe us again with a "donkey wheel"?
Also in this video:
• Will a dark event in island lore dictate the "departure" of new mom Amy? Reiko Aylesworth shares her take.
• Getting Lost-ies offer their theories (both good and, um, wild) on what Kate did with Aaron, and why it has her so upset.
• This week's burning question: Who exactly did Amy just give birth to? Send your best guess to Getting_Lost@tvguide.com. (And don't errantly suggest Ben, or I'll sic Smokey after you.)
Watch and discuss the new Getting Lost after the jump. read more 30 Comments
