Image Credit: Patrick Wymore/Fox; Randy Tepper/Showtime; Glenn Watson/USA Network; Liane Hentscher/FoxI’ve always said that if I had a crystal ball, I wouldn’t use it to see what my future holds, learn how I die, or to ask for lottery numbers — I’d demand to know what’s coming up on my favorite shows. That’s the only future that really matters. The bad news is I don’t have a crystal ball. (I’m working on it.) The good news: I do know what’s coming up on four of your favorite shows—and you get it free of charge. (…while supplies last. All sales final. Void where prohibited.)
HOUSE
(Nov. 15 episode, “A Pox on Our House”)
What you know:
A girl is admitted into Princeton Plainsboro with smallpox-like symptoms. And after a man from the Center for Disease Control prevents House’s team from getting close enough to work the case, House makes a move that puts him in great risk. Noticeably missing from much of the action? Wilson, who is busy having adorable scenes with a 6-year-old chemotherapy patient.
What you don’t know:
* House enlists the services of a Dutch woman who works in the online sex industry.
* New doc Masters (Amber Tamblyn) calls someone the “sexiest American man.”
* One character starts thinking about babies.
* House calls someone “a passive-aggressive bitch.”
DEXTER
(Nov. 7 episode, “Circle Us”)
What you know:
Dexter finds himself caught between helping Lumen (rock) and working an ongoing investigation (hard place). Also, the team’s work on the Santa Muerte case leads to a deadly confrontation.
What you don’t know:
* Two people die.
* The nanny does something that makes Dexter think about Harrison’s protection.
* A foe spots Lumen.
* A very shocking connection is revealed.
HUMAN TARGET
(Nov. 17 and Nov. 24 episodes, “Ilsa Pucci” and “The Wife’s Tale”)
What you know:
Chance works with the wife of a man he killed in the past, and newbie Ames (who we meet in the premiere) tries to get on Guerrero’s good side. Also, the team’s new boss gets a crash course on how they operate.
What you don’t know:
* Chance goes on an Internet date.
* Someone loses fingers.
* The office gets a high-tech makeover.
* A member of the team is shot.
BURN NOTICE
(Nov. 11 episode, “Eyes Open”)
What you know:
A still-recovering-but-still-badass Michael works to bring down a seriously disturbed bomb-maker.
What you don’t know:
* Michael moves in with his mom.
* Fiona suffers a loss…
* …because of a bold move made by Jesse.
* Something Michael thought was gone forever comes back into his life.
In a final act of kindness, I will answer ONE follow-up question within 24 hours from the time this is posted. Go.
UPDATE (as promised):
On Burn Notice- Is it that Michael’s father is not really dead ? — Kathy
No, that is not what Michael “thought was gone forever,” but good guess. Although, I hope that never turns out to be true. As “Nicotine” said, that would be very Chuck-like.
People die on Dexter, a show about a serial killer? NOOOOOO. Say it ain’t so. Useless spoiler. — Elizabeth
I know I said I would answer ONE follow-up, but 1) this isn’t a question and 2) you have an extremely valid point. So here’s a bonus: I can tell you that one death is a bad guy and the other is a good guy…erm…girl.
On Twitter: @EWSandraG
Any chance of other DC Comics characters ever showing up on Human Target as has been the case with Smallville (i.e. Zatanna, Green Arrow, Hawkman, etc)?
It be cool if Manhunter (Kate Spencer given the somewhat sexual nature of the show) showed up on to team-up with Chance.
For your final act of kindness, please give us one of the individuals involved in the shocking connection on Dexter!
the connection is between Lumen and Jordan Chase.
The guy from Boyd’s CD’s
the “Take It!” dude.
He is the leader of the group of rapists
why would that be shocking?
I think the good guy woman is the beat cop who has been helping Deb b/c it is her neighborhood the santa muerta murders have taken place.
I think the shocking connection is the Nanny is the mother of that woman Lilith or Lily, the one that was Dexter’s ‘sponsor’…
Will the major death in Burn Notice happen during the first half of the season?
On a side note, will they stop asking if Michael ‘will survive’ when clearly, we know he does?
But I’d rather have the first answered
The first half of the season is already over. The SECOND half of the season is about to start.
A major character will die in the episode airing on Nov. 1.
Wasn’t that 5 days ago? And isn’t the premier of the second half on Nov. 11th? Dude!!!!!!
Follow up question- On Burn Notice- Is it that Michael’s father is not really dead ? I’ve always wondered if he was a spy also….
Totally agree! Please answer!
I hope not. That’ll feel too much like Chuck.
So is this what is going to replace Ausiello?? “The Spoiler Room”?? Really?
Wow, what a step (or 10) down for ew.com.
I hate to say it but I cannot agree more. No one can replace Mike but come on! EW, you can do better. Make an effort.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
While half of the universe could do a better job than Ausiello did, I agree whole heartily that this sucks 100%.
Think I’m switching to other spoiler site that has to remain nameless.
Ausiello, I miss you!
People are pissy today. I’m happy to be getting spoilers again.
Wow, I didn’t think it would get this bad after Ausiello left. This is sad, where did Mike go, I miss him so much.
Rude people, I’m sure EW is still working on it… they’ll try different ideas/people until they hit a winning combination. Feedback is fine but try to be a little less brutal! Would you like a stranger to show up at your place of work and start tearing you to shreds???
Your statement is crap, try and give good feedback next time.
Why would EW still be working on it? They had a winning formula with Ausiello- e-mail him questions about shows, and he tries to give the answers to those questions. It really isn’t that difficult.
Wow. This is terrible. I miss Ausiello Files!!!!!!!!!!!!! And only spoilers for 4 shows?! What the what?!
If they had done nothing you would have complained anyway. At least they tried. You always have the option of following Ausiello to his new site, but no need to harass this writer for making an effort. Grow up children.
Sorry Sandra but I have to agree. This Spoiler Room post doesn’t even come close to the greatness of the Ausiello Files.
Man, I miss Ausiello.
I agree!!
He was a pandering little twit, I’m glad he is gone. Maybe now we’ll hear about more than Glee, Greys, and Gilmore Girls. Good riddance, smurf boy.
Gilmore Girls, whaaa? Doubt you’ll be hearing much about that…
You shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion, Gusmo. I think a lot of people would want to have spoilers about shows that are actually good.
The only thing I approve of in this new spoiler column are Hugh Laurie and Micheal C. Hall’s pictures.
I could not stand Ausiello’s smugness. He made me want to roll my eyes all the time. It was bad. Good riddance.
It was a self-aware smugness. Don’t mistake it for the smugness that comes from jerks who are incredibly insecure.
Smugness is the new gravtias
Geez people, give it some time. They’re still trying to figure out what works. Be grateful to at least still be getting spoilers.
I agree,give them sometime to get their legs under them. Also if you miss Micheal so much, why are here and not following him where ever moved on to next?
They had a winning formula with Ausiello- e-mail him questions about shows, and he tries to give the answers to those questions. It really isn’t that difficult.
i want mike back,this sites going to the dogs
Like Hogwarts?
Looks like we may have to transfer to Pigfarts.
Cool! I wasn’t expecting Burn Notice until winter. I started on it last year as a casual distraction, and I’ve found I really miss it when it’s off.
AGREED – I’d have never known it was back on, and must spread the word around this office.
THANK YOU!
Dang, Calm down people at least we’re finally get some spoilers. I like that I got some for Dexter! Yay! Good Job EW!
Agree. Anytime I get Dexter spoilers I am happy
I have to agree. Ask Ausiello was way better then the Spoiler Room. I think I will also be going elsewhere.
y&r viction newman i feel the writer or out touch the way they have down graded him that and nikkie shouldnt be in y&r anymore i dont like what the writer are to her they have taken all of her class away.
So ready for BN to be back!!! Can’t wait–was sorely missed as there is NOTHING else on TV to watch!!! Go Mikey!!!
And more Bruce Campbell! Yay!! Soo happy I stumbled upon this show – it definitely lived up to the hype. Now I’m a couple of years behind, so don’t give away all the good stuff.
