"The Truth"

"Resolve"

Karen is heading for a huge let down when the truth is finally revealed. Deb is a little off the rocker these days but I sure wish Karen would listen to her. Dan may seem like he’s changed but he’s still the same old snake he’s always been.

Deb’s been on a downward spiral all season but did Dan really have to tell her that he never loved her. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down.

The boys dancing at the strip club was great. Who knew Mouth could move like that?

Nathan buying Haley a maternity prom dress was so sweet. She was so upset knowing they had no money and nothing in her closet was going to fit.

Brooke finally met a truly nice guy well, as far as we know so far. I’m happy for her.

Rachel’s just a joke at this point. Well, she has been for some time, but she also had some cool character stuff going on after the wreck. Now she’s just the resident slut and not saying every town shouldn’t have one, but saying she could do more. I do think she’s going to get jealous of Brooke and end up saying Brooke stole the test. She’s very vindictive.

Lucas and Peyton…. I did enjoy the story line a little better than last week but I’m not crazy about how the show’s handling the romance.

Exclusive! Prison Break Leading Lady Pregnant!

You read it here first: Prison Break's Sarah Wayne Callies is expecting her first child with husband Josh Winterhalt, the actress' spokeswoman confirms. The baby is due in late summer.

What exactly does this mean for Dr. Sara on PB? I'll have the scoop on that in the coming days, but suffice it to say that Michael's crush will be MIA for at least the early part of any Season 3. (Can you say, "kidnap victim?" Can you?) - Michael Ausiello


Great news for Sarah. She is pregnant in real life. How wonderful it would be if they write her pregnancy into the show. Of course we know Michael will be the father. And since it shows in upcomig episodes they get to be intimate, it would be great. Just a thought.

"John Doe"

I really felt sorry for Bellick last night. He’s in prison for a crime he didn’t commit and he was put in Fox River where he will be lucky to survive. But you reap what you sow. Enough said….

I also feel sorry for DeeDee . The poor girl hadn’t seen her dad in months, now her mom is in jail with denied bail and she is stuck in a trailer home in the middle of nowhere with an escaped prisoner.

And let’s not forget about Susan and her two children who are being held hostage by a guy who warned them, “We will be a family if it kills us.” Yikes. Susan looked so scared and at first the children were so happy to see him. Not any more.

So Steadman is dead, Mahone is still alive and Kim is a jackass. I don’t think that Michael had any of this in mind. He was hoping to break Lincoln out and be sipping margaritas by now.

I think Mahone will be switching sides. I wonder how he is going to react to being on the same side with Kellerman since he did shoot him.

Best line of the night……Lincoln telling Kellerman, “We don’t need compliments out of you, jackass.”

TV HOT LIST

Prison Break
8 pm/ET FOX New
So, Michael and Linc won't be going back to Fox River after all, but Bellick will be. Whaddaya know. Instead, our fugitives and their new best friend Kellerman are off to Montana tonight, where Terrence Steadman awaits. Don't expect Steadman to be glad to see them. (Jeff Perry, the actor who plays Steadman, also plays Meredith's father on Grey's Anatomy.) Susan Hollander isn't exactly glad to see T-Bag (the cuddly, domesticated version), either. In fact, she's terrified. But her kids think he's great, and that's creepy. — Paul Droesch




Heroes
9 pm/ET NBC New
The super Heroes finally returns with more questions than answers as Peter remains in a mysterious coma, Hiro hunts for the samurai sword from Isaac's painting, and Sylar takes up even more of Horn-Rimmed Glasses' time, leaving Claire to ponder her life of lies. Into this mix, a new hero arrives, and fans of British sci fi will recognize exactly who he is. — Jeanette Martin

"The Dream Lover"

I was glad to see that Julie and Kirsten’s friendship was back on track even though Julie told a few nasty lies to get it there. It was a funny story line and hearing Julie say “they might (have Chlamydia) they did have sex with male hookers. Plus I picked the five meanest women in Newport.” The makeup did seem rather quick but with only five episodes left time is of the essence.

I was worried when Ryan first announced he was going to read his poem aloud in the book store, because that was so out of character for him. Thankfully he choked during the delivery - now that’s our Ryan. At least Taylor got to read the whole thing. “Then there are three little words I’m not able t say, but Taylor, this is what I can tell you today: Though I can’t say those words to you tonight, please, stick with me, because I feel someday I might”….so sweet. And let’s not forget to mention the Quickie Mart gift….LOL

Che and Seth’s whole camping quest subplot was a bit strange. Is Che gay? Because of the otter and his frog dream, he’s apparently now crushing on Seth (did not see that coming). So is this the love triangle we heard about? Yuck!!

Kaitlin’s still crushing on a band geek. I thought they were pretty cute together, but then she went and ruined things by calling him names. I hope they can get back on track because they were a cute couple.

We sure didn’t see much of Sandy last night.

Five more episodes left.

"Better Together" by Jack Johnson

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

[Chorus:]
MMM it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

"The French Connection"

I really enjoyed last night’s episode. With that said….

I’m so happy that Summer and Seth have finally put a stop to this ridiculous marriage proposal. I’m not against them getting married but neither of them was ready and they couldn’t even stand up to each other and speak the truth. I did find it very amusing when Seth was trying to ask Dr. Roberts for permission to marry Summer. Telling Dr. Roberts that Summer was “cool” and “pretty easy on the eyes”. He really did carry out his plan and it worked. But at the end he seemed to have a change of heart. And it was so sweet telling Summer that they don’t have to get married right away but someday.

Julie, Julie, Julie what in the heck were you thinking? Did you think that Kirsten wouldn’t find out about your little prostitution business? Come on, Kirsten is a very intelligent women and I really liked here detective-like way of uncovering the truth. Now Julie not only lost her job, but her best friend as well.

Ok, now to Peaches and Ryan. I don’t blame Ryan for reading the book how could he not? It was so obvious when Taylor and Henri-Michel would chat about art, poetry and philosophy they really clicked. I then noticed how little Ryan and Taylor had in common. I’m not saying that I want to see Ryan and Taylor break up, but a few stumbling blocks will make their relationship more interesting.

I also enjoyed watching Ryan chat with Sandy about the whole ordeal. I can’t remember the exact quote Sandy used but I loved it. He was saying how different he and Kirsten were but you have to find what makes the relationship work and then focus on that.

Returning TV Shows

Heroes Monday, Jan. 22, 9 pm/ET, NBC "Save the cheerleader, save the world" was the catch-fire slogan for the first half of the season. Now comes "Are you on the list?" Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), armed with his father's secret roster of 36 heroes, will scour the world to locate the ones we don't yet know and tell them they're in jeopardy. Curiously, not all the heroes seen thus far are on this list.


Lost Wednesday, Feb. 7, 10 pm/ET, ABC Last we saw the Lost boys and girls, all hell had broken loose: Jack had witnessed Kate and Sawyer acting on their caged passion, then he cut Ben open on the operating table, only to demand that Kate run from the Others or he'd let Ben die. Fans frustrated by the lack of answers in that November finale should be heartened by several developments coming up when the ABC drama returns for an uninterrupted run of episodes starting on Feb. 7. For one, the focus won't just be on the Others and their captives: Seemingly psychic Desmond, beloved Hurley and mama Claire will all get some flashback love early on. The first episode, however, belongs to the Other-worldly Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and just may reveal why she asked Jack to off creepy Ben.


American Idol Tuesday, Jan. 16, 8 pm/ET, FOX The sixth season of American Idol doesn't premiere until Jan. 16, yet Simon Cowell's already managed to offend an entire city. Last month, the ever-cranky judge made national headlines when he bemoaned Seattle's weather and claimed it had "the worst bunch of miserable singers I've ever seen in my life." OK then. Cowell, along with fellow judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul and host Ryan Seacrest, also hit six other cities, including Memphis and Minneapolis, in search of the next Taylor Hicks.


King of the Hill Sunday, Jan. 28, 8:30 pm/ET, FOX Back for its 11th season, the King of the Hill family finds Hank upping his love of propane, Peggy throwing herself into real estate, Bobby finding himself in a leadership role, and lovers Luanne and Lucky (Tom Petty) battling for attention. All-new Texas-sized hilarity begins with an episode in which Bobby's pet snake escapes, causing a town-wide panic. Where's Samuel L. Jackson when you need him?

"Who's Your Daddy?"

I love Sandy Cohen and the fact that he is always looking out for Ryan’s best interest. He didn’t like Frank Atwood from the get go. And then to find out that he was lying to Ryan really got Sandy going. All of Sandy’s lectures to Ryan thoughout the years, cautioning him not to resort to violence really took a turn with Sandy not heeding his own advice. And Ryan saying to him, “My dad is right here” really put a big smile on my face.

At first I was really starting to like Mr. Atwood. He was charming and seemed as though he had really changed. But once we found out he was a liar and manipulator who was hurting Ryan then it all changed.

Mr. Atwood and Julie really seemed to hit it off. I’m looking for Mr. Atwood to be back and he and Julie hooking up. How crazy would that be? If Mr. Atwood had changed for the better and he and Julie start dating. Weird!

I wasn’t really impressed with the Summer and Seth storyline. It was funny but it seemed to drag on too long. And I thought for a moment that once Seth pulled the car over that was it. But no he had to come up with wanting to ask Mr. Roberts for Summer’s hand in marriage. I sure hope this ends soon and we get to see Summer and Seth back to their old selves again.

Taylor is so funny and in my opinion really good for Ryan. She brings out a good side in Ryan that we weren’t used to seeing.

So all in all I thought the episode was good. I’m really sad that this is the last season.

Breaking News! O.C. to End on Feb. 22

This just in from Fox. "The sun will set for the last time on The O.C. when the series ends its four-season run Thursday, Feb. 22, at 9 pm/ET." All new episodes will air from the series Jan. 4 return through its forever finale.

"This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close," series creator Josh Schwartz said in a statement. "Thanks to the hard work of our cast, crew and writers, we have enjoyed our best season yet, and what better time to go out than on top [creatively]. It has been an amazing experience and a great run. For a certain audience, at a certain time, The O.C. has meant something. For that we are grateful.
