I’m going to say it’s the “room” since I, in fact, amnotpaginated.)
At any rate, take note of the little number 2 because its your path2more scoop.
(See what I did there.)

Hey, I warned you just one paragraph ago… And its not one hes taking lightly.
In the beginning of this year, were back in our timeline but without one of our main characters.
So will it be better or worse?
Michael Desmond/The CW
One would guess the latter, but Jackson insists, it will simply bedifferent.
Its a pretty cool conceptual thing to allow the show to go off in this direction.
Im looking forward to hashing out a new permutation of it.
Because the dynamic is going to be entirely changed.
For Jackson, the chance to start over in many ways, is a treat.
To me, I was glad they were able to go that big with the cliffhanger last year.
The nobility of that sacrifice is a great ending for the Peter we used to know.
The ultimate test of that was, The choice is them or you.
So I think the guy who would come back to us now would be a changed man.
CASTLE: TACKLING THE BIG CHALLENGE
Theyre still going to be your favorite couple, she guarantees.
We are aware of the are-they/arent-they dynamic going on.
But, she says, they know a great journey is still before Castle and Beckett.
We know that thats there, and it cant be that forever.
I think the fans will enjoy what they see.
Meanwhile, whatImexcited to see?More of this.
It starts at least two weeks before every other fall TV show.
Oh, but it wont last.
But very soon after, things start to unravel, she teases.
Theres an internal combustion within the club.
Once again she is thrown into chaos.
Theres actually a little bit of a splintering, she says.
And Clays arthritis is really, really bad.
Hes seeing his days are numbered.
These are people who live off the grid.
They dont have retirement funds.
They live paycheck-to-paycheck, so to speak.
Hes realizing hes gong to have to come up with a bigger plan.
SIDE DISHES
I was wondering if you had any news onBlue Bloods.
Also somewhatBlue Bloodsrelated, did you hear the news?
Theres aNew Kid coming to the blockon Oct. 14.
Thats right, TWO NKOTBs in one night.
Be still my heart.
I read that Dan Harmon wants more reality-based episodes ofCommunitythis season.
Thats great, but I love me some spoofs.
Will we be getting any this season?
Any hints about what they are?
Ryan
I think there will definitely be a few.
Actually, Id bet you my entire collection of amphibious mariachi band attire that there will be.
just so they can say no.
I also really enjoyCovert Affairs any scoop about Auggie and Agent Walker???
(#yestheresmoretothisstory)
Any scoop on TheCloser?!
Laura
Dont miss this Mondays episode.
Lets just say, Capt.
Raydor sets in motion what will likely be ahugearc.
Do you know the sex of B&Bs BB onBones?
Tracy
[Answer page 2!]
NEXT: Scoop on Bones, Nikita, Parenthood, True Blood, and more!
What clever use of the alphabet.
But no, I dont know.
But Michaela Conlin does, and she claims the big answer will come in episode 2 of this season.
The one saving grace?
I heard theres a full-time daycare in the Jeffersonian, she says.
Nikitascoopage would be appreciated.
Im counting the days!!
Nevaeh
Were going to meet a blast from Michaels past in episode 5.
I never said it was simple…
Parenthood!
The wait is unbearable.
Jenna
Looks like Bones wont be the only preggo giving birth before the new year.
Adam is MIA for most of the big day, giving Crosby an opportunity to step up.
Meanwhile, Adam is busy looking like hes a cast member fromStep Up.
More on that later.
Thanks for the news onGreys Anatomysall-boys episode.Sounds delicious.
Shayna
Id be willing to bet on yes.
Especially since Shonda Rhimes told EWsTanner Stranskythat this one has been in the works for a while.
Ron/Tammy scoop, perhaps?
Im going to take ahuge leapand call it one of my favorite episodes of the season already.
(And happy belated birthday!
!J) Jen
Um, terrifying.
How about, you promise NOT to do that, and Ill tell you what I know.
Rather, what Ariel Winter knows.
Shes sitting at the cool table!
She starts sitting with Haley at the cool table in high school.
Its so weird for me to say high school because Im like, Ah!'
[And] Alex might have a boyfriend and have crushes on boys while she has a boyfriend.
Sounds like Alex might be more like Haley than we all thought.
Now, remember: NO clowns.
Is Ryan Rottmans character going to be a love interest for Teddy on90210?
The casting intel did call for an actor who was comfortable in romantic situations with another man.
So at least we know its a definite possibility, but Id hesitate to go there right away.
And as I mentioned in thecasting announcement, Rottmans character is a politically-active gay marriage advocate.
Connect the dots how you will!
Any good Bill/Sookie scenes coming up?
Like, VERY much.
Others might just say girl likes drama!
What ever happened to the plans to bring back Michael Trucco as Robins love interest onHIMYM?
I heard that Kal Penns character is now a love interest?
Abby
Youre a sharp one!
But I also seemed to forget that hes also onFairly Legal.
The funny thing is Michael Trucco, his series got picked up for another season.
So we had to veer away from that even though we like Michael a lot, Thomas told me.
Ultimately, its led us in a new direction.
Penns character is slated to appear some time in the first six episodes.
This season ofBreaking Badis amazing!
It hits home and things are said, he says.
Im afraid to ask, but anything onGlee?
Maria
Why are you afraid?!
Clear eyes, full hearts…oops, wrong show.
Lets just move past the ugly and talk about whats next.
Or in this case, whatcouldbe next.
Karofsky could certainly flunk and be a 5th-year senior.
Meanwhile, ever wanted to hear Josh Sussman (Jacob) sing?
But he says though he doesnt sing in the first episode, Im practicing.
