... "They both came to a realization that maybe stepping back was the best way to go for right now," Christie tells TVGuide.com. "But those feelings are underlying — they are always going to be there. We'll see them pop in and out as things go along..."

... Question: Is it possible that those who found the season finale of Bones a sham is because one episode has Bones on the bed being comforted by Booth and the next Bones tells Booth she is pregnant and he is the father? It seems to me that people fail to remember that episodes are not day-to-day events but have time frames that could span a week or months. If one kept close watch, the clues were there. So please, Matt, tell Hart Hanson that even though most fans wanted an obvious romance with some bed time, it was done well and we are looking forward to a great new season. My question is this: How much attention do producers give to the expectations of loyal fans such as myself and thousands of others who wanted Bones and Booth together? Also: I have always wondered what does the term spoilers really mean. And I saw a picture of Bones and Booth with them holding a baby and it said it's a girl! Is that true! — Anne

Matt Roush: Consider Hart Hanson told. It's not like he hasn't heard it all. I'm not particularly keen on stoking this controversy again — they've established the relationship, do we really need to see the deed? — but I will say that producers of shows like Bones tend to always be aware of fan reaction. Hanson is a very active, and reactive, tweeter, for what that's worth. But it's their show to develop as they please, and to tell their stories on their own timetable with their own priorities, and that's the way it should be. I'd be as upset thinking fans were calling the creative shots as if network and studio executives were meddling more than they should...

"Bones" season 7 premieres November 3, 2011 at 9/8c on FOX.

... Question: What a wonderful job you do. I so look forward to reading your column every Monday. I have several questions, hope you can answer all of them. This past weekend I did a marathon watch of Alphas and Against the Wall. Really liked both shows and I was not expecting too much for either one. Alphas' pilot episode was not that great and I almost did not watch any more of them, then gave it a chance and it kept improving each week. What is the status on this show? Now, Against the Wall was really good, I like it much better than Alphas. Have you heard anything on this show? Oh, and one last show that I have been watching is The Protector with Ally Walker. Love this show, so nice to see her back on TV. I have always thought that she is such a natural actress. Thank goodness for these networks that give us something to watch during the summer instead of reality shows. — Bobbie


Matt Roush: Well, thank you. Here's the good and bad news. Alphas has been renewed for a second season, which was not a surprise. It's too early to tell for Against the Wall. But it's curtains for The Protector, which has been canceled and won't return once it finishes its current first-season run. I'm a fan of Ally Walker, but felt that show never lived up to her abilities and was just too ordinary to ever break out.

Question: I was wondering what you thought of the civil suit arc on The Closer this season. It's an interesting juxtaposition of morality on the one hand, and rooting for the characters on the other. It also shows all the different shades of grey in the law. If I heard about an incident in real life where police just dropped off someone in a neighborhood when they thought s/he would be killed, I'd be appalled. Yet I understand these characters' motives in this case, like all of them, and want to be on their side. The part of this arc I do love is Mark Pellegrino as Brenda's lawyer Gavin. I love the character and the nuances Pellegrino brings to playing him. Having only seen Pellegrino previously on Lost, and noting how different Gavin is from Jacob, I really appreciate what a fine actor he is. He deserves his own show. Unlike most of the other lawyer shows in recent years on TNT or USA, which I've skipped, I'd definitely watch a show centered around this character with this actor. — Myra


Matt Roush: I'm not sure I'd want to see an entire series built around Pellegrino's flamboyant lawyer — some things are better in small doses — but he is undeniably a hoot, giving a most unexpected performance given his past work (although there was plenty of sly humor in his portrayal of Lucifer on Supernatural). I've enjoyed this summer's season of The Closer, and the lawsuit arc is a big part of the reason. It was such an outrageous thing for Brenda to do, even to a cold killer who deserved it, and few things are more compelling on a long-running show than to see a sympathetic hero deal with consequences for a bad act. She has tortured herself over this long enough that we can't help but root for her, and the conflict has tested many of her relationships within the unit, which is all to the dramatic good. I would like to see it resolved, so the final batch of episodes next year can concentrate on sending this terrific character out on a high.

TV GUIDE: The Closer Creator James Duff Previews "Fresh Pursuit"

Sep 12, 2011
by James Duff

The Closer often uses legal terms for titles, not merely to reference the jargon of police officers, but also to describe the plight of our characters, and to tie all that together with the theme. Our next episode is a case in point, as we consider the love of the chase in our summer finale, "Fresh Pursuit."

... Along the way, we encounter a murdered sheriff's deputy, his ambitious partner, a dangerous gang of car thieves, and a suicidal suspect all reacting to their own positions in a crazy race to the finish of our summer season. The Closer's regular ensemble shines as they embody one of the most perfectly performed and beautifully shot finales we have ever done. Thanks to our brilliant director-in-residence, Michael M. Robin, for yet another out-of-the-box episode, and the exceptional Kyra Sedgwick, whose seamless portrayal of Brenda Leigh Johnson never fails to impress...
