Jericho Cancelled

CBS has cancelled Jericho. Again. Last year’s cancellation left a sour taste in people’s mouths, and this year’s probably won’t be much better. While we will get some closure in Tuesday’s series finale, most Jericho fanatics thought from the beginning that CBS sent the series off to die so they’d have an excuse to get their way. The producers are shopping the show around to see if it can be picked up on cable, but if it were to get picked up elsewhere, expect even more budget cuts.

“The March 25th episode of Jericho will be the series finale,” the network said in a statement. “Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more. We thank an engaged and spirited fan base for keeping the show alive this long, and an outstanding team of producers, cast and crew that went through creative hoops to deliver a compelling, high quality second season. We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try. We listened to our viewers, gave the series an opportunity to grow, and the producers put a great story on the screen. We’re proud of everyone’s efforts.”

Kyle XY Season 2 Episode 23

Kyle’s trying to prepare for the prom, so he watches a prom/slasher film. He hopes to come up with the perfect plan for the perfect prom. Lori warns him not to get too caught up in the planning.

Adam tells Kyle he needs a break from the Latnok community, and he’s asked them to give Kyle a break as well. He tells him they’ve been watching him for a while, waiting to take a larger role in his development. He knows Kyle doesn’t want to go with him and would rather stay with his family.

Amanda just hopes prom won’t be a huge disaster.

Sarah wants to leave Seattle with Jessi. To go somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Josh tells Kyle he’s hoping prom will help him get some extra bases. Kyle’s seen that in the movies, where often times the young teens end up getting fatally mutiliated.

Kyle is afraid Latnok’s still out there watching him, regardless of Adam’s request to leave him alone.

Despite Kyle’s pleas that she stay, Jessi doesn’t want to risk telling Sarah she wants to stay because it’ll mess things up if she leaves anyway.

Stephen is getting as concerned as everyone else about the sexual tension between Mark and Lori. She tells him she’s getting ready for prom with Declan, and the store’s closed anyway. He wants Josh’s store closed as well.

Amanda’s stressed out that the decorating isn’t going according to plan. She asks Kyle to send the dress but not come himself. Jessi volunteers to bring it. When she arrives, Jessi calls Kyle to tell him what’s happening at the school, and instead of not worrying about making it more special, he decides he needs to come to the rescue. When Amanda shows up, she’s greeted by a fairy tale prom scene.

Andy comes over to the house to get makeup help from Lori so that she doesn’t look like a vampire clown whore. Lori tells Josh not to screw up this defining moment in his otherwise idiotic life.

Lori and Josh duck out and hide from their dates at the prom. Josh is freaking out about sex. Lori’s confused about whether she should actually be with Declan. With some words of wisdom from Nicole, Kyle helps them realize they’ve come a long way and should just be having fun. Lori heads back inside to find out that Mark is only 19, despite how old he may seem.

Heading to check on a roof leak, Kyle finds Jessi, who he thought left hours ago. He takes the opportunity to say goodbye. She jumps off the roof, and she’s gone.

Kyle was right. He has been followed. By Foss, who says he doesn’t know if Latnok should be trusted and that Kyle should always worry. Kyle says not tonight.

Andy does have plans for after the prom: ice cream and video games. This is in line with Josh’s plans, as he’s not sure they’re ready for anything else.

Declan heard Lori’s song at the prom and doesn’t want to be the one holding her back. She agrees they shouldn’t be together.

The prom is over, and everybody starts to leave. That doesn’t stop Kyle from having one last dance with Amanda, though. He still wants to know something he doesn’t know about her. She tells him she loves him, then he answers her question whether he can fly by levitating so she doesn’t get her feet wet from the leaking water.

Amanda left her other clothes inside. Kyle goes back in to get them. When he returns, she’s gone. A Latnok is all that remains where she had been standing.

Given its strong ratings, it should come as no surprise, but Kyle XY season 3 has been confirmed. It’s unclear whether this will again be a summer show or will be back in the fall.

Jericho Season 2 Episode 6

The town managed to avenge Bonnie’s death in Jericho Season 2 Episode 5, killing John Getz and hanging him from a tree, despite a warning from Beck to not take matters into their own hands.

Beck is back in town and is hunting down those he feels were responsible for the death of Getz. Hawkins warns them things will get worse until Beck gets the shooter. Jake goes to Beck and blames himself, asking for the amnesty of the others. Beck accepts the surrender but not the terms.

Beck doesn’t believe Jake’s story that he was the killer. On the contrary, he knows the whole story, including that Stanley killed Getz. He wants Stanley, but Jake plays dumb.

Chavez phones Hawkins to warn him that Texas is ready to join Cheyenne and that they need to get the package down there as soon as possible. He hopes his fake Jennings & Rall badge will help him get through the checkpoints.

The town has a plan. They steal the resupply convoy and offer it as a trade for Jake. Beck approaches Jake to force him to sign a letter rejecting their tactics, but this obviously doesn’t work. He now considers the rangers fugitives and declares Jericho an open insurrection and plans to shut down the town’s power and food supplies, but Jake tells him they’ve lived without that stuff before.

Hawkins gets another call from his mystery caller. He’s asked to take the bomb to a secure destination closer to home, waiting a day or two. He ignores the request and leaves right away. He doesn’t just have a J&R shirt and badge. He stole one of their trucks, too.

Heather tells Beck she can’t tell the difference between him and Phil Constantino at this point.

Jake is gaining strength from his grandfather’s wisdom, as he was also captured and tortured. He realizes it all comes down to revolution.

Mimi insists on going to see Stanley. She wants to just get through it, but he seems defeated, blaming himself for shooting a guy who at the time was just some helpless guy.

Hawkins gets another call from his mystery friend, who asks why he’s on his way to Texas and tells him to turn the car around. He declines and keeps driving.

Jake tells Beck his father and grandfather never would have handed their town over to a mercenary. Then he warns him of a revolution against him, telling him he’s just middle management in a company.

Hawkins’ mystery man gives Beck a call and tells him that Hawkins is the guy he wants and that he has a nuclear bomb.

Jake’s mom comes to visit him with a message that Eric and the boys are coming and to not give up.

While he’s driving, Hawkins sees he’s got company, both trucks behind him and a helicopter up above. Good idea. Chase after a guy with a nuke in the back of his truck. Then start shooting at him. The truck comes to a stop, and they get the package they want, though Hawkins manages to escape.

The rangers figure out where Jake is being held, and they break in and rescue him.

Hawkins gets another call from the mystery man, and he comes to the conclusion that there was a tracking device inside the bomb and blames him for having put the plan to blow up the country into practice. The excuse: it was about liberating the country, in an effort to eliminate J&R, which is now centralized in one city. The anonymous caller’s theory now is that J&R may be more powerful but they’re also more vulnerable. He wants to use the bomb to blow up Cheyenne and wipe them out for good.

Hawkins approaches Jake to get some help with stopping the bomb from going off in Cheyenne.

Considering where things stand now, it’s hard to see how they plan to wrap it up in just one episode, but taking into account the show’s low ratings in its current 10 on Tuesdays deathslot, that appears to be where we’re headed. At this time, the show has not yet been cancelled nor renewed, and next week’s episode is being billed as a season finale, rather than a series finale. As a contingency plan, two endings have been filmed. One is a cliffhanger, and one is a definitive ending (in which we’re supposed to believe it took a year for the country to be healed after 23 major cities were destroyed).

Prison Break Season 4 Confirmed by Wentworth Miller

Wentworth Miller, who plays Michael Scofield on the Fox series Prison Break, greeted the media at a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israel, covered by the Jerusalem Post.

It doesn’t appear there is a great deal to report from the press conference. However, Miller said Prison Break will resume production for season 4 later this month and will return in September. Fox has been pretty quiet about the show returning for some reason, so it’s good to finally get this confirmation.

Jericho Season 2 Episode 5

A lot happened in Jericho Season 2 Episode 4, but it all was just leading up to the shootout at Stanley’s farm, where Mimi ended up on a stretcher and Bonnie ended up dead at the hands of John Getz from Ravenwood.

Jake tells his officers to gather men and make sure Ravenwood does not get near Mimi at the med center. He tells Beck, but Beck’s off to New Bern for the day, parting with a warning that Getz is off limits until then.

Getz has obtained the ledger he wanted, which he burns. What he failed to realize is that Mimi was in the house at the time of the shootout. Ravenwood head to the hospital, where they’re stopped by an armed Jake. Getz warns that if he kills him, Cheyenne will retaliate. Jake’s refusal to listen is enough to keep him outside, for now.

Heather’s told that there’s a bounty on her head by the resistance in New Bern.

Hawkins’ anonymous caller tells him that the highest levels of Cheyenne government is made of former J&R employees. He needs the bomb because it’s concrete proof.

Getz will receive backup within four hours. Rather than wait around, they start taking hostages, going to the homes of the men who are protecting the hospital. They take one guy’s wife, then go to Hawkins’ house and tell him Darcy’s one of the hostages inside. He knows better than to fall for it, so he starts kicking ass and taking names.

Mimi wakes up in the hospital, where Darcy tells her she’s going to be fine. Darcy doesn’t want to tell her the rest, though.

Heather gets a visit from some guys in New Bern, where they’re suffering because of tips she’s been giving Beck. They’re there to kill her, or at least they’re supposed to be. They have a better plan in mind, though. They want a trophy: Getz.

Stanley heads to the morgue to say one last goodbye to Bonnie, and he thanks her for saving Mimi’s life.

Hawkins has taken out three guys and has one of them with him when he arrives at the hospital to join the others.

Mimi tells them why the shooting happened. She says that, with access to the system, it may be possible to recreate the information. Hawkins calls his anonymous friend for assistance, telling him to help or else. Mimi suggests Trish may be able to help.

The Ravenwood hostage has escaped. It’s obvious he had help.

Mimi calls Trish at home to tell her what happened and ask for help. Hawkins gave her an e-mail address for a director at Ravenwood.

Hawkins and Jake track down the hostage and make him a hostage again. They all know Fred, the jumpy guy who turned rat in the last episode, is the traitor. They send him to cover the back door, and he calls Getz with this information.

Getz and his men fall for the bait the guys have planted at the hospital and go to Stanley’s farm, where they believe Mimi is hidden. Fred has had a change of heart now that he’s been busted and informs Jake that reinforcements are on their way. They find out reinforcements aren’t there to reinforce. The director of Ravenwood operations shows up with Trish. Getz is fired, and his men are redeployed.

While they’re shooting, they find out that they’re not the only ones after Getz. New Bern’s there, too, and they’re shooting as well. Jake wants to keep him alive and hand him over to Beck, but New Bern wants him dead. Stanley approaches the scene and settles the argument, killing Getz himself.

Despite fear that Beck will retaliate, they know there’s no turning back because he’s going to find out anyway. So they hang Getz’s body from a tree.

Kyle XY Season 2 Episode 22

Jessi followed in her mother’s footsteps in Kyle XY Season 2 Episode 21, hacking into the system for test answers and posting them online for everybody to see. Kyle managed to find a way to save the day using his computer skills, which he then followed up by using them to find Sarah at a diner, waiting to help save Jessi from Taylor.

Sarah tells Kyle that Taylor wants to get back into Latnok’s good graces, even if it harms Jessi in the process. She says he’s just like the rest of Latnok: they’re just scientists looking for a means to an end.

Everybody is going crazy over the prom. Declan’s spent $1900 so far (more than half for the hotel suite). He tells Kyle he’s screwed without cash. Lori hates prom. Andy hopes Josh will take her to prom, regardless of the fact that they’re not old enough to get into it. Amanda plans to spend sleepless nights on the planning committee, but she’s still got time to help Josh sneak into the prom.

Jessi’s got a meeting with Latnok. She doesn’t want to hear what Kyle has to say, but maybe she’ll want to listen to Sarah.

Kyle tells Jessi he’ll make sure she meets with Sarah. He knows this isn’t entirely accurate.

Josh has a plan to get to prom. It starts by winning (with Jessi’s assistance) a $50 gift certificate that he’s going to sell. He intends to win every radio contest he can, whether it’s in a language he can speak or not.

Lori gets into an argument with Mark, who quits as the DJ for the prom. To make matters worse, the caterer has been shut down by the health department, and they can’t get the deposit back.

Kyle taps into his holographic memory to describe all the cars in the lot to Declan, who can tell what people look like based on the car they drive. By process of elimination, they figure out which car is Sarah’s. He tracks her down by way of traffic cameras. She’s not happy he told Jessi she’s still alive, and she says she doesn’t want to be a mother. With a little convincing, Kyle gets her to agree to stop by his house to meet Jessi.

Amanda has come up with a plan to help Josh. A date swap. She’s taking Josh, and Kyle’s taking Andy.

When Lori gets home, still hating prom, Jessi views it as an opportunity to follow her upstairs to her room to ask questions. This leads to a bonding experience between the two, and Lori agrees to cut Jessi’s hair so it’s shorter like Sarah’s. Lori says she doesn’t want to be angry with her any more.

Hillary comes up with a caterer, not listening to the part about not having any money. When Josh finds Amanda upset in the kitchen about this, he’s got the cash to help thanks to his radio show contest spree, even if it doesn’t leave much left after that.

Taylor comes to the house to force Jessi to go with him to the meeting. The family is there to protect her from him when he insists she owes him.

Josh has enough left for prom tickets, a sky blue rayon suit, and a scoop of ice cream. Andy tells him she’s got it covered and that she’s happy just to be with him.

Thanks to the haircut, of all things, Lori has managed to write a less gloomy song, which is enough to impress Mark to get him to be the DJ again. And he tells her the story of how he never went to prom since he was 15 as a senior.

Jessi’s sitting on the porch, and after 3 hours and 52 minutes, she realizes Sarah isn’t going to show up, so she leaves, but she says it’s not back to Taylor. Nicole and Stephen tell the kids they want Jessi to stay there until they can find some place more permanent.

Kyle knows he can find Jessi at the diner, where he goes to break the news to her. The fact that her abilities are tied to her emotions causes the restaurant to shake and lights to flash. Sarah shows up… just before Jessi collapses and her heart stops.

Kyle knows he’s her only hope. He creates an even bigger energy surge to save her.

Declan ultimately plans to go to the prom with Lori, who had decided she’s going stag.

Foss gives Taylor a one way ticket and tells him he doesn’t want to come back. Now that they’ve seen the tape of what happened at the diner, Latnok wants to get their hands on Kyle.
