New showrunner Steven Moffat explains his approach to the show, which may be more "storybook" than his predecessor Russell T. Davies':

For me, Doctor Who literally is a fairy tale. It's not really science fiction. It's not set in space, it's set under your bed. It's at its best when it's related to you, no matter what planet it's set on.

Lester is "grappling with his manhood," says Vik Sahay. He doesn't mean literally — but Lester is trying to grow and work through his issues as a man and all his male friendships — he's on a journey of growth just like Chuck is. And we'll see more of Lester when we see Lester. Whatever that means. [The TV Addict]

Ryan McPartlin (Awesome!) describes the season finale:

At the end of this year, without revealing too much, I've got to say it all just kind of blows up and blends together. They may have to once again reinvent the show for season four.

And not only will that season finale dry-clean all your clothes and fix your bathroom tile grout, it'll also pay off all of the buildup over the season of Chuck's spy superpowers — all of the wackiness so far will feel like just a build-up to the insanity in the final episode. Also, someone's loyalty will shift, and someone will have romance. And new photos show Casey and Morgan both in the thick of the action. Woot. [E! Online]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars:

Here's a new clip and a new image from Friday's new episode, in which Anakin faces off against an infamous separatist strategist.
And actor Matt Lanter explains his take on Anakin:

I like getting to play the confidence in him – the cockiness. He literally thinks he always has the best plan, and can get his way out of any situation – and the cool thing is that most of the time he can. Yes, we definitely see some flashes of what's to come. He has a temper, and he likes a good fight. But Anakin has a good heart and good intentions, and I try to bring that honesty to the character. He's different from the Anakin we saw in the films; he is more likeable and swashbuckling at this point. I just try to bring out that confident Anakin – and I love that characteristic because it's so much fun for me to play. At this point in the series, I would say he's still a hero – but we are seeing more and more flashes of the dark side, and more of the temper which foreshadows what's to come Anakin wants to do what he believes is just and fair, but I feel like the entire Star Wars universe has shades of gray. The Republic isn't necessarily always right and fair, and that's why Anakin falls in the end. He doesn't like to follow rules if he feels it doesn't make sense to do so. For now, that turns out well, and he saves the day. Sometimes, it doesn't turn out so well…

Lost:

Hey, remember Desmond and Penny? Apparently, we'll be seeing them again, and that "lovey dovey" Constant stuff will be back, big time. Oh, and in tonight's episode we'll learn the four-letter word that describes the island — and everybody's pretty much convinced it's "cork." Meanwhile, Mr. Eko will definitely not be back because of bad blood behind the scenes. But one major character, not yet announced, will be back, and it'll be shockmazing. [E! Online]

We'll discover what's been eating away at Richard Alpert his whole life, and the cross he has to bear — there's some resolution of that tonight, but it continues to be a problem going forward, says Nestor Carbonell. [TV Guide]

That new character, Zoe, plays a huge part in the island's mythology, says actor Sheila Kelley. She's on the island looking for something and/or someone, and she'll know that person when she finds them. And she may not be as evil as her boss Charles Widmore — it goes back and forth. She's very loyal to Widmore, and she "has the answer." Also, Kelley explains Zoe's background:

She is a geophysicist. I think that she's very brilliant and loves what she does. She is a maverick in her field and believes there are more answers than the status quo is willing to buy into. So she wants to bring the concrete world of physics and geology into much more esoteric happenings, like time travel and the energy of the island. She's bridging the gap between science and belief. It's a strong theme throughout the whole show.

And Kelley tells US Magazine:

[Zoe] is Charles Widmore's right hand. She does all his dirty work. But she has her own strategy and agenda as well. In one script, I'm going in one direction. In another script, I'm going 180 degrees the other way.
