Bad news for those of you hoping for a new version of The Heights. The CW may be not be too quick to take the hint with 90210, but Melrose Place is not quite so lucky. With its viewership hovering around the 1 million mark, Melrose Place has met its demise after just one season.

Memo to The CW: no more show revivals from the 90s please. Unless you wanna do Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Charmed. I’d watch that.

CBS has announced its schedule for 2010-2011. Missing from the lineup are Cold Case, Three Rivers, Accidentally on Purpose, New Adventures of Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, Ghost Whisperer, and Numb3rs.

Survivor is moving to Wednesday. Wait. What the?

CSI: NY is headed from its reasonable Wednesday into potential cancel territory when it moves to Friday. CSI: Miami gets a more acceptable Sunday night slot behind the two reality shows.

Locke managed to get everybody into a tight spot from which they could not escape in Lost Season 6 Episode 14. This was sufficient to get Sayid and Sun out of the way, while Jin was silly and took the bullet to be with his wife. Now Locke wants to finish the job he started.

A pregnant woman, Claudia, makes her way on the beach from a wreck. This would be a good time to give birth then. It’s a boy. His name is Jacob. Then another boy. Before his mother can name him, the other woman on the island apologizes for having to kill Claudia.

Years later the two brothers are chasing after food, when they come upon some men in the jungle. These men don’t belong here. Unlike Jacob and his family, who are there for a reason. His mama’s lesson for them is that people hurt other people and should be avoided as a result.

They are the protectors of a light, the brightest warmest light they’ve ever seen. A little of this light is in every person. It can’t be taken from the island, but it can go out. If it goes out there, it goes out everywhere. Jacob’s mom can’t protect the light forever, so one of them will have to do so.

While they’re playing a game, Jacob’s nameless brother sees their real mom. She tells him Jacob can’t see her because she’s dead. So will he come with her? Sounds like a good idea. She brings him to see a group of people who arrived on a ship the day before they were born. He’d like to leave now, but Jacob’s not interested. Looks like Jacob is stuck being the protector then.

Years later still, Jacob’s all growed up. He goes to visit his still nameless brother, the man in black. His people are greedy, manipulative, untrustworthy, and selfish, but they’re a means to an end, getting off the island. He’s finally found a way. They have discovered the light, which when combined with water will get him off the island using a system they’re designing. After his mom says goodbye, she says she’s so sorry. We learned what that means already. She kills him, too.

Afterward, she takes Jacob back to the light, passing the torch on to him. It’s his turn to protect it now. But he can’t ever go down there.

The man in black is not quite so dead, but we knew that. However, his plan to get off the island is buried, and his village and people are burned. He’s going to have to seek revenge on his mother, killing her back at her camp. Jacob sees this act. He’s not going to kill his brother because he can’t. She made him that way. What he will do is send him down to the light, a fate worse than death. That would explain where the black smoke comes from.

Jacob takes the two stones, one light and one dark, from their game that he finds next to his mother’s body and puts them in a pouch. This pouch is later discovered by Jack, along with the bodies of Jacob’s mother and brother.

When season 4 wrapped in February, it didn’t seem like a move that would indicate a great deal of faith in the show that has continued to slump, putting up 4th place numbers by its finale. Heroes has been on the fence for a while now but nonetheless has continued to survive the axe. That streak has come to an end as NBC has cancelled Heroes.

Even the lack of Leno (and the resulting 5 extra hours) was not enough to save one of the network’s most expensive shows. Apparently, on top of the fact that cheap to produce shows like The Biggest Loser can deliver worthwhile ratings, NBC has a bunch of new shows on the horizon for next season.

So what’s next for Heroes? It may end up getting an additional final episode or so. At some point. Possibly. Certainly would be nice to not leave the show as they have.

Watching FlashForward continuing to decline in ratings, the skepticism of whether it would return for season 2 or not has grown. As its ratings in adults 18-49 dipped into fifth place below The CW’s lone shining star The Vampire Diaries, it became only a matter of time before the decision was made to cut ties with FlashForward. Now ABC has made it official, and FlashForward has been cancelled.

Before FlashForward came along, the last program to beat Survivor in the demo was Friends. Despite its impressive start, FlashForward slowly but surely started to decline.

Then ABC decided to put this brand new show on a 3 month hiatus. Well, that was the end of that. For those sci-fi fans still looking to tune into ABC, at least V, which suffered a similar but less severe fate, has been renewed.

John managed to get his hands on that invention he was seeking in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 21.

Elena is not Katherine. But she sure looks a lot like her in that 19th century clothing for the recreation of the battle.

Jeremy is defending his uncle for killing Anna’s mom. Kinda. He just wanted revenge on the tomb vampires and vice versa, but Pearl was not among those seeking revenge. Anna’s been thinking. She’s okay with turning Jeremy and running away together. When you’re a vampire, you don’t have to feel. He doesn’t think he can, but he’ll keep her blood around.

Stefan breaks the news to Elena: her uncle is her father. This would be bad news because she hates him.

Damon is very grateful to Bonnie for removing the spell from the device. If only she actually had done so.

According to John, the vampires will be attacking tonight. That makes this an ideal opportunity to use the device, which can only be used once for 5 minutes and will incapacitate any vampire within a 5 block radius.

Seeing as he’s in love with her, Elena would appreciate it if Damon would stop with the flirty little comments and that eye thing he does.

What can Elena do to fix things with Jeremy? Apparently, going to hell would help.

Having been informed of John’s plan, the sheriff says no. Well, John says yes. Case closed, even if he has to knock her out and cuff her.

Anna alerts Damon of the imminent attack. The vampires plan to wipe out the founding families. Damon warns Stefan and Elena. The mayor begs his son Ty, as well as Matt and Caroline, to get out of there.

Shortly thereafter, the device is activated. All the vampires fall in pain because of the noise that only they can hear. So why can Tyler hear it, wrecking his car? The mayor, too, collapses.

Alaric steps in to make sure the cops don’t grab Stefan. Damon and Anna aren’t quite so lucky. Not wanting to wait until she’s burned alive, John stakes Anna. Now would be a good time for Damon to tell the mayor the truth about himself. He’s there because he’s a vampire. What’s the mayor’s excuse? If he’s not a vampire, what the hell is he? Whatever he is, one of the vampires wants to test what snapping his neck will do to him.

Stefan heads into the burning building to save his brother. As her way of apologizing for being a liar, Bonnie makes the flames die down so Damon and Stefan can flee the building while they’re still among the undead. As much as Stefan would like to hate his brother, it’s pointless to try.

Damon returns to Jeremy to tell him Anna’s dead, and he can take his suffering away again. The suffering isn’t going away, though. Damon’s advice is that life sucks whether you’re a vampire or not, but at least vampires don’t have to feel bad about it. That’s enough to convince Jeremy to drink that Anna blood he’s been saving, then overdose on some pain pills.

Matt and Ty walk away from the accident okay, but Caroline is in the hospital.

If Damon spills a drop of innocent blood, Bonnie will take him down. Good luck then. Damon’s got this weird feeling, though. He finds himself wanting to protect the town he once hoped to destroy. Then he kisses his pal Elena.

John’s having a talk with his daughter, wanting to see if he can patch things up with her and get her to not hate him. Alas, he’s really talking to Katherine, who chops off his ring and proceeds to slice and dice. Yeah, that wasn’t the real Elena lip locked with her friend with benefits.

Following its run as The CW’s first success story, The Vampire Diaries season 2 is obviously going to happen this fall.

Stefan went all crazy in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 20, but then as expected decided he’d like to try to live happily ever after. When all was said and done, Isobel decided to come to town.

All Isobel wanted was for Alaric to just mourn her and move on. Two years later, that still hasn’t happened. She’d like him to be her messenger boy, arranging a meeting between herself and her daughter Elena. He’s not going to do anything for this selfish bitch, at least not until she threatens to start killing off his students.

John returns home to find Isobel having fun with a half clothed chick and a gay (but not right now) cowboy. She has decided that John’s failed to get the invention, so she will be taking it from here.

Fearing she will regret not meeting her potentially homicidal mother, Elena agrees to go through with it. The very pleasant mama informs Elena that her father was just a teenage waste of space, and a name is irrelevant. So why did Isobel want to be a vampire anyway? For a long list of reasons, such as how Stefan will not get old and die, whereas Elena will. Enough with the pleasantries. Get the invention from Damon, or the blood will be on her hands. Good day.

Damon joins in on the half clothed fun while waiting for Isobel to get back home. What does she want with this little invention? They’re on the same side: Katherine’s. Katherine wants John to have the device and isn’t very happy if she doesn’t get what she wants. During their little makeout session, Damon has a message to return to Katherine. He does believe in killing the messenger, and if Katherine wants something, she can come get it herself.

Bonnie has decided that Elena’s her friend, and she’s there for her if she needs her.

According to Emily, Jonathan never actually invented anything. Emily used magic to make his inventions work. The device is a weapon to be used against vampires.

Since Caroline won’t stop yapping, she tells Isobel everything she needs to know about Elena’s inner circle. The first victim is Matt, who has a trailer fall on his arm. Then Jeremy disappears. This is going too far even for John, so it’s time to start beating him.

Perhaps Damon will hand over the device if Bonnie can prove she’s able to remove the spell from the device. He can’t trust Bonnie, but he does trust Elena.

Bonnie has successfully turned the device into a mere trinket, which Elena can now give to Isobel. First, where’s the brother? Since Elena has brought vampire bodyguards, she can now call home and find out that Jeremy’s okay. Isobel knew Elena could get the device from Damon because he’s in love with her. After exchanging the invention, they trade their final hateful words.

She may have rescued him, but that’s not going to stop Jeremy from hating Elena for being a liar and having his memory erased.

Alaric tosses aside his ring and vervain. With that aside, Isobel is now free to kill him or compel him. She opts to compel him to move on before saying goodbye.

Stefan’s warning for his brother: history will not be repeating itself where Elena’s concerned. Well, now Damon has a story to tell, as the only one capable of putting 2 and 2 together. John is Elena’s father.

On his doorstep, John has received what he’s been looking for. Katherine wants all those tomb vampires dead, and Isobel wants to add Stefan and Damon to the list, preventing Elena from having this life.

It should come as no surprise that Bonnie pretended to do something she didn’t really do.

Once everybody was back together in Lost Season 6 Episode 13, Widmore took this as his cue to begin the attack.

Locke wakes up in the hospital to Dr. Jack. Everything is back where it belongs, and he thinks he’s a candidate for a new surgery that could possibly make it so he can walk again. Not interested, minimal risk or no.

Jack has made his way to Hydra Island shortly after the attack. Meanwhile, everybody else is being escorted to cages at gunpoint. Widmore needs Sawyer, Sun, Jin, and Hugo, but he’s willing to merely imprison the others if James agrees to get in the cage.

Bernard is in his office when Jack goes to see him. He’s hoping to get a look at Locke’s patient file in order to find out how he was hurt. Turns out he was on the same flight with the two of them. Who wasn’t? Although he can’t break patient-client confidentiality, Bernard can give him the name of another man in the accident with him, Anthony Cooper.

Locke, Sayid, and Jack are on the beach about half a mile away from the caged people. Locke’s going to need help convincing the others they can trust him. Why? He’s not killing anybody (at least not any of them), although he could.

Somebody kills the power on the generator. Any time you see that black smoke, somebody’s probably gonna end up not living. The dead guy won’t needing his keys, allowing Jack to grab them and free the others. He’ll lead them to the plane, but he still doesn’t plan to get on it with them.

Jack goes to see Anthony Cooper, who’s in far worse shape than Locke is, wheelchair-bound and from the looks of it unlikely to be saying much.

On his way to the plane, Locke is shot at. Well, that’s a futile idea. Once everybody else catches up, Locke warns them of Widmore’s plan: get them all together in a nice confined space with no hope of escaping, then he’s going to kill them with the C4. Because the plane is no longer safe, the submarine is their hope. Liking this plan because it was his all along and happy to not be dead, Sawyer is onboard, but he still doesn’t trust Locke.

Claire received a music box from her father, which she would like to know from Jack what it’s about. He doesn’t know. Oh, yeah, she was on the flight with the whole rest of the world, too.

With everybody packing heat, the storm into enemy territory begins. Jack’s plan is a bit different than everyone else’s. Once he shoves Locke off the dock, all hell breaks loose. Shots are fired from the woods, striking Kate. As everybody else boards the sub, Locke gets up and heads toward them to start picking them off. Claire’s still out there firing. Sawyer heads back, but he’s willing to leave her behind if it means getting away from Locke. As for Jack, he’s leaving whether he wants to or not.

There’s some more explosives on the sub with them. The bomb is ticking. Locke put it in Jack’s backpack. 4 minutes to go. They did exactly what Locke wanted. Jack doesn’t mind. He says go ahead and let it keep counting. His theory is that nothing’s going to happen, and that Locke can’t leave the island unless they’re all dead. Not trusting the doc, James pulls the wires out anyway. The watch stops its countdown. Then it speeds up.

At this time, Sayid tells Jack where he can find Desmond, then he takes the bomb and runs. Water starts flowing in from everywhere, but at least they aren’t in little pieces. Hurley is instructed to take Kate. He can’t go after Sayid because there is no Sayid. The others work to free Sun, and Sawyer gets knocked out in the process. Jin’s going to free Sun whether she wants him to or not. He insists Jack leave and save Sawyer instead. Sun’s begging continues to fall on deaf ears. I’ll never let go, Sun. Doesn’t look like either of them will make it.

Locke blames himself for being in a wheelchair, and he blames himself for his father’s condition as well. That’s the reason why he doesn’t want the surgery, so he can continue to punish himself.
