This weekend’s big US dramas

LOST Series 4 finale

Fri, 9pm, Criminal Minds, Living
After last week’s shocker of an episode, with Garcia’s so-called dream date shooting her (surely her dinner conversation can’t have been that bad!) she’s fighting for her life with the team trying to track down the would-be killer.

Sat, 9.15pm, CSI: NY, Five
SERIES FINALE A bank robbery goes awry and a hostage situation ensues, with the protagonist claiming he isn’t responsible for the death of the bank manager and he wants a CSI to come in and prove his innocence. Mac offers his services, but it’s not straightforward and it slowly becomes a battle of wits over forensics.

Sun, 9pm, Lost, Sky One
SERIES FINALE Yes, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, two hours of island-shifting, Ben bashing and no doubt several explosions. The only problem is the thought that Sunday nights are going to feel horribly empty after this. Enjoy.

Bad news, Battlestar Galactica fans

Battlestar Girls

If, like us, you’re quaking with anticipation for the next episode of Battlestar Galactica, The Hub, brace yourself for some bad news. Owing (possibly) to showrunner Ron Moore CGI-ing a few more Cylon raiders into the already amazing special effects or Number Six having her peroxide blonde bob re-bleached, the episode’s been knocked on a week and now won’t be broadcast until Tuesday 10 June.

So that’s another seven days we’ll have to wait to discover the fates of the missing Roslin and Baltar, and the inevitable unboxing of Lucy Lawless’s scary Cylon Number Three. The only upside is that it will be a week’s less wait until the second half of the final series kicks off next year.

Got some time to kill? Then try out these fiendishly difficult Lost quizzes…

Clearly we’re far too busy to be looking at stuff like this (honest, boss), but should you find yourself with a few spare minutes you may want to try out these two Lost quizzes…

The hardest Lost quiz ever!

The even harder hardest Lost quiz ever!

Let us know how you do!

Five things we learned today

1) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson has landed a regular role in the new series of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

2) Battlestar Galactica showrunner Ron Moore is working on a new sci-fi pilot called Virtuality.

3) Mad Men | The second series starts in the States at the end of July, but British viewers will have to wait until next year.

4) Scrubs | Prepare yourself for a new batch of interns in the next series.

5) Heroes | Claire’s pyro mum will be back in series three.

New 24 trailer!

The seventh series of 24 won’t be on until next January (though, thankfully, there will be a two-hour TV movie before then), but judging by this trailer, recently aired in America, it looks like it’s going to be worth the wait…

Missing episode of Pushing Daisies finally to air… on ITV’s website

Pushing Daisies

ITV sure know to treat their viewers, don’t they?

Having taken the plainly absurd decision to drop the second episode of Pushing Daisies in order that the series would finish in time for them to show the Euro 2008 tie between Portugal and Turkey, the broadcaster has today announced that it will be showing the missing episode from 10pm next Saturday on ITV.com.

The site says that the episode, called Dummy, will not be shown on television and that the website will be the only place where British fans will be able to see it.

Frankly, we think this is pitiful, even by ITV’s standards, and merely adds insult to injury. Surely, after all, the broadcaster could have found room amid the endless repeats of Animals Do The Funniest Things and Midsomer Murders to show it on ITV2 or ITV3 instead?
