Lost Season 5 Episode 15

Faraday came up with a plan in Lost Season 5 Episode 14. He’s going to stop the events of the last 5 seasons from happening by activating a hydrogen bomb. Upon requesting said bomb, he was shot in the back by his mom.

Not wanting to be additional victims of the shooting, Kate and Jack hope to run, but they’re unable to get away in time. Jack begins getting beaten, while Kate is told to not move at gunpoint. Eloise asks for them to be put in her tent because she knows they’re not from the Dharma Initiative.

Flash forward thirty years. Richard gets a visit from John Locke. It’s been a while. He’ll explain what happened on the way, but he doesn’t have a lot of time to talk. Ben and Sun are with him. Ben says that Richard is a kind of advisor, and he’s had that job for a very, very long time. Sun asks him if he was there in 1977 and if he remembers Jack, Kate, and Hurley. He remembers very clearly because he watched them all die.

Before he leaves, Locke gives Sun his word that, if there’s a way to save Jin and their people, he’ll find it.

Kate wants to know: what about them? If they change the plane crash, they’ve never met. It was not all misery.

Eloise asks why Daniel needed the bomb. She met a man from the future when she was younger, the same man she just shot in the back. One additional benefit to changing the future/past would be that Dan doesn’t have to be dead. She agrees to take them to the bomb. There’s a problem, though. They secured it in the ground, but since that time, someone has built an entire village over it.

Now Sawyer’s being roughed up. They want to know where Kate is. He ain’t talking. Juliet starts to say something, but Sawyer tells her not to. After beating him for a while and not getting anywhere, they realize perhaps Hugo might know something.

Since they’re outnumbered and outgunned, Miles and Jin are in the process of leaving with Hurley. They run into Dr. Chang. He believes this future story. Hugo says that’s ridiculous. What year was he born? 1931. So he’s 46 and fought in the Korean War? There’s no such thing as the Korean War. Who’s the President of the United States? Okay, enough questions. They’re from the future, and Miles is his son. Miles says that Faraday’s been right about everything, so if he said to get people off the island, it’s probably a good idea to listen.

Locke wants Richard to take him to see Jacob after they get to the plane. That’s not going to be a problem, is it? First, he takes him to the Nigerian plane. Richard must go see a man come out of the jungle who’s been shot in the leg, and tell him to bring everybody back to the island by dying. That man is/was John Locke. He knew when to be there because the island told him. Richard’s sure glad that John didn’t actually end up dying, except he did.

Dr. Chang goes to warn everyone to get off the island, and he finds Sawyer being tortured. Stuart tells him they’re going to proceed as planned, and that he’s now the one in charge. Sawyer asks that they put the women and children on the sub and get them out of there, and they’ll tell him anything they need to know if they put him and Juliet on that sub as well.

Kate has decided she doesn’t want to keep going. Maybe the gun will change her mind. Nope, she keeps walking. Shots are fired from the woods. It’s Sayid.

Sayid believes he already changed things by killing Ben. Yeah, about that, Kate saved him by taking him to the others. She doesn’t believe that killing kids and detonating bombs is okay, and she’s going back to find the rest of their people because maybe they can stop Jack if she can’t.

Sawyer is sorry he didn’t listen to Juliet when she wanted to get on the sub three years ago, but she’s glad he talked her out of it. He bids the island good riddance.

Jack follows Richard underwater to the tunnels, and Sayid decides to go with them. Either they’re going to be saved, or they’ll be put out of their misery.

Seeing as Jacob is telling them what to do, Locke wants to know who he is, especially since nobody has ever seen him before. Richard will be taking him to Jacob, and Locke invites everybody along with them for the journey. Ben’s starting to think Locke is going to be trouble. Why do you think he tried to kill him?

Sawyer’s plan is to get back to the real world, where they will be free because the Dharma Initiative has no power there.

Kate will be joining them on the sub. She’s been caught coming back.

They’ve arrived at the bomb. Now what?

Locke tells Ben the real reason they’re going to Jacob is so he can kill him.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 19

In the race for Scylla, Lincoln beat Michael to the punch and captured Vincent Sandinsky in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 18, leaving Michael only holding Sandinsky’s phone. T-Bag, meanwhile, sold them out and told the general that their mom has Scylla.

Michael calls Lincoln to tell him that Sandinsky’s not some innocent victim, as he’s been exchanging e-mails and phone calls with Christina. When asked what he’s going to do, Lincoln responds “Leave town, Michael” and hangs up.

Scofield calls his mom back on Sandinsky’s phone. He wants Scylla and will call her back only one more time in 10 minutes for an answer. They’ve managed to track him down.

Sandinsky continues to play dumb. Lincoln gives him three seconds to talk or die, and just then the general and his armed men come up from behind. He’d like to talk with Vincent. There’s a new deal, and Vincent and the general are old friends. Sandinsky has been a company operative for 21 years. He’s in Miami because he is working with Christina. They learn that T-Bag betrayed them. Lincoln and his boys have one day to find their mom, and Sandinsky knows where she’s staying.

Christina arrives at the location she traced Michael to. She’s found a phone. No Michael, though. They won’t be able to follow him either since he just trashed their car. As they’re all gasping for air on the ground, he grabs mom and tosses her in the trunk. Such a close family.

She wants to work out a deal because she doesn’t want to see Scylla go back to the company either.

Lincoln and the others barge in where Sandinsky told them to go to find Christina. Nobody there. Mahone’s regretting having gotten involved in this. Somebody else will be waiting to stab them in the back, and they won’t get out of this well.

Sandinsky’s in the process of being tortured. He’d like to see something happen. They’ll all be dead before the general’s plans pay off.

Sarah would like a chance to talk to Christina, who knows she’s pregnant.

Lincoln arrives at Dade Miami Bank looking to get in a security box. They don’t want anybody else to access the box, including an agent from Homeland Security. Box 6468 was already accessed a minute ago. The guy with the silver suitcase just left. They proceed to follow Downey, who gets a call from Naveen saying that the deal’s off if he can’t talk to Christina before 5.

Scofield makes his mom a final offer: take him to Scylla and walk free. Lincoln would never be okay with that. Oh, and Lincoln isn’t his brother. He’s never seen pictures of Lincoln as a baby because there aren’t any. They adopted him when he was 3 after his parents were killed as part of the company. That said, Lincoln was more of a brother than she was ever a mother. She suggests calling Lincoln, but he’s in the middle of a high speed chase, so he won’t be answering. Most people would. They’d be text messaging at the same time.

Michael’s had enough of this game, so he drags her to the tub and starts running the water. She gives him directions to Lincoln. Sarah will stay behind and watch her. Might want to keep a close eye on her because she’s already looking for a way to break free.

T-Bag will be rewarded as a special liaison to the company. Once he passes his final exam anyway. When Burrows brings Scylla back, T-Bag will be the one to shoot him.

Christina calls Sarah into the bathroom to taunt her some more. When Sarah pulls the door shut, the dental floss Christina’s tied to the door stopper rips it off the wall.

Krantz recognizes Naveen’s name on the list T-Bag has made. He has a known interest in solar weapons technology.

With the door stopper in hand, Christina breaks the tape off her wrists, and now she’s got a gun, too.

Lincoln’s boys are chasing after the man with the silver briefcase when they realize they’re at the building of the energy conference, and his mother must be there as well. The rental van is for a getaway.

Christina’s doing fine and right on time. She opts to not kill Sarah. Maybe she could meet her grandson one day.

Because he has not been able to speak to the doctor, Naveen amends his offer: $1 million in exploratory research, with the rest to follow in the weeks to come.

The rental van is in Lincoln’s name, and the passports are all of them. They’re being set up.

The general seems to be behind. It takes the local news to point out where Naveen will be. He instructs T-Bag to kill Sandinsky. Done.

Lincoln has entered the convention. He sees a shooter kill Naveen. Michael’s on the scene as well when the rest of the place is in a panic. They realize their mom set the whole thing up. The van was there with the passports, the bank has clean video of Burrows trying to access the box, and Lincoln’s hands were all over the shells planted by the shooter.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Prison Break season 4 episode 20 Cowboys & Indians, which airs Friday at 8/7c on Fox.

Heroes Season 4

This has been expected for a while now, but NBC today officially confirmed that Heroes will return for season 4. It is currently expected that the season will be slightly abridged from normal and from the current lengthy 25 episode season 3, but no confirmation has been made available at this time.

Fringe Season 2

Fox has announced the renewal of Fringe for season 2.

“FRINGE proved to be a notable addition to our schedule all season and it really has fans buzzing as it builds to a fantastic season finale,” said Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company. “J.J. and the whole Bad Robot team have been phenomenal partners, and we look forward to years of making great television with them.”

“FRINGE continues to gain momentum, creatively and with viewers,” said J.J. Abrams, series co-creator and executive producer. “We couldn’t be more thrilled that FRINGE will continue to freak people out for at least another season!”

Lost Season 5 Episode 14

Lost Season 5 Episode 13 was the story of Miles, who found out that the doctor from the videos is his father and was reunited with Faraday as a boy.

Eloise goes to see Penny in the hospital, claiming that her son Daniel was responsible for Desmond being shot.

Flashback to 30 years earlier as Faraday meets up with Miles. He wants to know who told Jack to get on a plane. It was his mother Eloise, who Faraday says was wrong.

A young Daniel is told that he doesn’t have time for distractions like playing the piano because he has to focus on his mind.

Back to Jack in a panic. He goes to see Sawyer, who’s got one of his security guys, Phil, locked up in the closet since he got a video of him and Kate taking Ben out to the hostiles.

Faraday makes his way underground into what will be the hatch. He asks Dr. Chang to order the evacuation of every man, woman, and child on the island, warning of a catastrophic accident. His reasoning behind this request: he’s from the future. By the way, Miles is his son, and he’s also from the future. Miles denies this.

Back to the future. Daniel is graduating from university and making plans to eat with his overprotective mother, who warns him that the women in his life will always be terribly hurt by his work always coming first. He tells her that he just got a new research grant from some industrialist, Charles Widmore.

Sawyer considers where they’re living now to be home, but they have no choice but to leave. They have two choices: get on the sub or head into the jungle. While they’re voting, Faraday knocks on the door and asks where he can find the hostiles. One of them is his mother, who can get them back to where they belong.

Flash forward to Faraday watching a plane crash on the TV and crying because of it, when he gets his first visit from Widmore. He came to offer him a new opportunity. The people on the plane are not dead, which he knows because he put it there. He can tell him that because come tomorrow he won’t remember that he was told. His new offer is to send him to the island to heal his mind and memory.

Sawyer doesn’t want to tell Jack where the hostiles are. So he asks Kate. Juliet gives them the code for the fence and tells them to go.

Daniel meets Charlotte as a little girl. He instructs her to listen to Dr. Chang when he tells her to go on the sub and leave the island.

As they’re grabbing guns, a shootout starts. Dan gets hit in the crossfire, but they’re able to shoot their way out of it and drive away.

Eloise tells her son it’s very important that he accept Widmore’s offer to go to the island.

Faraday tells Jack that this is their present. Any one of them could still die.

An alarm sounds as men with guns come to see Sawyer. They’ve been infiltrated. Upon checking the closet, they find Phil. Sawyer and Juliet are can get on the ground with their hands up now.

Daniel’s looking to prevent the entire chain of events that led them all there. He’s realized they can change their destiny by destroying the energy under the hatch. If they do that, Desmond won’t fail to push the button, and the plane won’t crash. How’s he going to do that? By detonating a hydrogen bomb. Yeah, that sounds safe.

Eloise tells Penny that for the first time in a long time she doesn’t know what will happen next. The nurse comes to get her, and Desmond is in recovery and doing okay. Then Eloise goes outside to leave, when she meets up with Charles, who says that Daniel’s his son, too.

Upon arrival at the hostile camp, Daniel is told that Eloise isn’t there. He asks for the bomb. As he’s counting down and warning Richard with his gun, Eloise shoots him from behind. Bad news, mom, you just shot your son.

Wednesday April 29 Schedule Changes

It’s been a whole month, so it’s time for another Presidential address, which will air Wednesday April 29 at 8/7c. This time slot works out a lot better than the previous Tuesday ones, as there’s really not much on during that time. Here’s how it will impact the networks:

ABC will delay the 1 hour Scrubs season finale until Wednesday May 5.

NBC airs reruns of Law & Order: SVU in that time frame, so they will just not air a rerun for the week.

CBS has decided to get as complicated with its schedule as possible. Rules of Engagement and The New Adventures of Old Christine will air on Wednesday May 13. The CSI: NY season finale will air on Thursday May 14 after CSI. The New Adventures of Old Christine and Gary Unmarried season finales have moved to Wednesday May 20. The Criminal Minds season finale will air Wednesday May 20 from 9-11. Harper’s Island, which it would seem is essentially dead, will move to Saturdays as of May 2.

Fox has declined the President’s request for air time, as the networks grow increasingly frustrated losing millions of dollars during a recession each time. Lie to Me will air at its regularly scheduled time. Fox will direct interested viewers to its sister networks Fox News Network and Fox Business Channel, which will air the address.

The CW does not air these events and will air its regularly scheduled programming, America’s Next Top Model.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 25

In Heroes Season 3 Episode 24, we went back to how it came about that Sylar decided to pose as Nathan Petrelli.

Angela had a dream. Nathan’s in trouble. He’s not the only one. HRG has Claire and Angela get out of the car and go to Nathan, while he rides ahead to the truck full of people waiting for him.

Danko jabs something in the back of Sylar’s head, but it doesn’t do anything to him. He’s moved his little off switch that used to be in the back of his head. He plans to meet with the President the next day, so he can shake his hand and shapeshift into him. Danko threatens to expose him if he doesn’t kill him, but he doesn’t need to kill him. He just has to shapeshift into him and fire on his own men. Now nobody will believe a word he says.

Angela’s going to find Matt Parkman because in her dream Parkman saves Nathan’s life.

Claire has arrived to see Nathan. She asks how she knows he’s not Sylar, which he is. He seems to have her convinced that he’s not an imposter, and they go off together to the Stanton Hotel to intercept Sylar.

Hiro wants to stop time again, but Ando’s worried his head may explode.

Danko’s tossed in a room where he meets up with HRG.

Peter comes to get the real Nathan.

HRG tells Danko that, if he didn’t have Claire, he’d be in exactly Danko’s position. Danko responds that he is in the same position, so they plan to work together.

Then they’re frozen by Hiro, as is everyone else. Ando notices that Hiro’s ear is bleeding, but he says he’s fine. They locate Suresh and rescue him, moving the guards into his place instead. When time unfreezes, Hiro’s having medical problems. Suresh tells Hiro that his human body is rejecting his powers like a virus. He instructs him to not freeze time again.

The prisoners are all gone, and the entire unit has been captured. Hiro arrives to jab a vial into Danko. Then they both collapse.

Claire gets a call from HRG. Only it’s not Claire. It’s Sylar.

Claire plans to kill Sylar, who plans to kill HRG. Everybody dies some time. He wants to make her his first First Lady, but first he has to get her past her urge to kill him.

Nathan arrives at the hotel, and he’s told he’s already inside. The man in there is dangerous. He’s one of them, or rather, he’s one of us. The government needs to stay out of it, but Nathan and Peter can handle it. They just have to get close enough for Peter to touch him.

They break inside and begin to battle. Claire closes the door to let the battle happen, and whens he opens it, Nathan and Sylar have gone out the window.

They’ve moved to another room where Sylar slashes Nathan’s neck and leaves him for dead before taking his shape.

Parkman arrives, and Angela is there waiting for him so he can save Nathan. By the time they arrive, Nathan is dead.

Sylar is informed by Secret Service agent Liam Samuels that the President won’t be able to meet with him today. Perhaps he’ll be able to meet with Samuels, though. With one more body change, Sylar meets with the President. Only it’s not the President, though. It’s Peter, who stabs him in the neck.

HRG and Angela have a plan. They need Sylar to be Nathan Petrelli again. Parkman grabs hold of Sylar and turns him into Nathan. Then they burn the body, but nobody else knows what’s actually happened.

The President has agreed to Nathan’s proposal. He told him he’s found just the man to head up their new “the company.”

Volume 4 ends there, and volume 5 Redemption starts six weeks later.

A building agent arrives to find a flood. He’s greeted by a person who takes form from the water. It’s Tracy, and she’s found her fourth mysterious drowning victim.

Angela goes to pay Nathan a visit, and it seems he’s got some of Sylar’s powers. He can tell a clock is running a minute and a half fast.

That concludes season 3. Heroes has not yet been officially confirmed for season 4, but the buzz is positive that we will be seeing it again in September.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 18

Lincoln got in touch with his mother in Prison Break season 4 Episode 17, which ended with her giving the order to have him killed.

The sniper loses the clean shot, and now Mahone and Self are after him. A gun battle ensues, and the shooter escapes, right into Lincoln’s waiting arms. When someone passes by, he’s able to escape again by stabbing Lincoln, before he’s run over by a car driven by T-Bag.

As Michael and Sarah are looking at family photos from her college friend, she goes into the bathroom, where she pulls out a pregnancy test.

The general brings Stuart in. He’s made phone calls to an unidentified party. Who has Scylla? He claims he doesn’t know anything.

Lincoln and his boys have also nabbed a cell phone from the shooter, and he received a lot of calls from a blocked number.

Until they get Scylla, they’re going to play dumb and not reveal that it’s their mom.

Michael’s in Miami and wants to meet with Lincoln, who warned him not to come. Mahone is the messenger sent to tell him he’s not coming, and that whoever wants Scylla has to go through their mom. He suggests that they can save their families and take down the company at the same time.

Sarah’s found an address, and the fact that they have to go through Michael’s mother doesn’t stop him.

Lincoln’s found his mother at the Indian embassy, and they’re sending T-Bag to create a distraction. He handcuffs himself to the gate to protest mistreatment of elephants. When the security team goes to bust T-Bag, they’re able to break in. He uncuffs himself, but not before he’s grabbed and tossed in a van.

Christina’s trying to sell Scylla to Naveen. She’s starting with him first out of respect for his father.

Michael and Sarah have been led to a car. Good thing he knows about breaking and entering. They find a briefcase in the car, containing keys, a map, and a gun.

Self, Burrows, and Mahone have been captured by Christina’s security. She’d like to close the deal before leaving. Naveen has agreed to her terms, so now they can leave.

Since they’re in an embassy, Mahone doesn’t believe anyone will actually kill them, so they just walk right out the door. On their way out, they say they’re with Christina, so they’re handed a piece of paper she dropped that says that Sandinsky is arriving at 4:30, which Michael has also figured out.

Christina calls the phone in the briefcase, and Michael answers, so she hangs up.

When they arrive at the airport, Sarah creates a distraction, and Michael grabs the flight log. They’ve figured out who VS is: Vincent Sandinsky. Michael goes into the operations area with a gun and has them give a message to the flight carrying him. The plane will land where Michael wants it to land. Security will also let Sarah out there because she’s a doctor assisting with a passenger who’s had a heart attack. Sandinsky will be going in the car with them. He doesn’t plan to hurt him, but the guys chasing them do. The high speed chase is stopped by another car. They want Michael and Sarah dead, but it’s a good thing Mahone was waiting in the wings with a rifle to take them out.

Although Michael is being allowed to walk free, Lincoln has gotten his way and is now in control.

T-Bag is trying to make his own deal with the general. He tells him that Christina has Scylla in Miami.

Sandinsky says he’s just a professor who was looking to get out of New Hampshire for a few days. He had his cell when he got off the plane, but it seems to be missing now. That’s because Michael and Sarah took it, and they see that he’s been e-mailing Christina back and forth. They’re working together on something.

Sarah’s pregnancy test is showing up positive.

Michael places a call from Sandinsky’s phone to his mom. How badly does she want him?

Lincoln’s boys, however, are buying his innocent act.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Prison Break season 4 episode 19 S.O.B., which airs Friday at 8/7c on Fox.
