... Question: I just read in USA Today that toward the end of the season, the writers of Hawaii Five-0 are going to break up the team. Can this be true? Will they put them back together? They have a hit on their hands, why mess up a good thing? — Mary

Matt Roush: I wouldn't lose any sleep over this one. This is how season cliffhangers tend to work. The quote you're referring to is a tease from Alex O'Loughlin, saying, "You'll never believe how McGarrett ends up. ... One of the things we'll be looking at is a fracture and a separation of the Five-0 team. They're going to shake everybody up." The more significant quote, for me, came earlier in the story, when O'Laughlin spoke about what gets him excited doing the show. "The week-to-week stuff is boring, formulaic. For some reason, people tune in because they can tune out when they tune in. The arc is the stuff we love as actors." And this is why the writers try to shake things up from time to time, to keep the show interesting for those who do the show, even if some of the fans would prefer the status quo never to be upended. But whatever the writers have in mind for the team, I imagine it wouldn't be permanent. Although I'd embrace any attempt by producers to give procedurals like this an element of surprise.

... Question: I'm becoming a big fan of several of USA Network's original shows (Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Covert Affairs, Royal Pains and now Fairly Legal), because I love character-driven shows. I'm also a big fan of some of SyFy's original shows (Eureka, Warehouse 13 and to a lesser extent Haven). But I'm wondering why, when these shows are in their off-season, the networks aren't running more of their reruns? Not that I don't enjoy the continual NCIS and L&O marathons on USA, but wouldn't they get some interest in their existing original shows if they actually SHOWED them to the public? SyFy is especially bad for this, running a never-ending parade of cheesy B-movie monster flicks, which I simply cannot believe give them good ratings. Why not try running episodes a few of their own shows every so often? They would have to be essentially free to run, and it seems like it would be good advertising for the upcoming new seasons of these shows. Can you explain this to me? — Kerry

Matt Roush: It's not entirely true that these series vanish entirely between seasons — it appears that Warehouse 13 is currently being repeated on Monday nights (and episodes of many of these shows are still available online) — but I get your point. The practical answer to this question is that repeats of these cable originals probably don't pull the ratings of off-network rebroadcasts of mainstream hits like NCIS and the various Law & Order shows. And as cheesy as those Syfy movies can be, there's an audience that eats up that campy stuff. The more strategic way to look at this, though, is to consider these series, with their limited seasons of original episodes, as highly marketable "events." And one way to make a new season feel special is to limit its exposure between seasons, so when the new episodes return, the audience hasn't been oversaturated with repeats of the same few episodes. (This seems especially fitting for cable series that produce fewer episodes than the broadcast network norm.) It feels to me that what's driving this complaint is the same as those that can't understand why every series isn't available online so people can see anything they want to see when they want to see it. The economics of TV still require trying to maximize a show's value in its original first run, and that's as good an explanation as any for why many of these series aren't on 24/7 all through the year.

... Question: I love the show Castle. It seems to me that each actor is perfectly suited for their role. But I watched a clip where the actors were discussing their respective roles on the show and Stana Katic kept her head down, turned to the side with her hair covering her face and never looked up even when talking. Last week's episode really showed how great an actor Katic can be: i.e, the bar scene where she gets close to a suspect to arrest him. My question after watching this clip: Is Katic not happy with her role and planning on leaving the show? I certainly hope not. After all, how can you replace perfection? — Tom

Matt Roush: Perfection? If you're that big a fan, by all means get your hands on this week's issue of TV Guide Magazine, with its cover story on Castle — and a cover photo shoot where Stana Katic really brings it. From the outtakes I saw with her and Nathan Fillion, I didn't sense any unhappiness there. I'm not familiar with the clip you're referring to, but maybe she just wasn't feeling it that day. Nothing I've heard or seen indicates she's out of sorts or unhappy with how they've developed Beckett. Seems to me like she'd consider the character a gift.

(Monday, 10/9c, CBS)

In other sweeps stunt-casting news, over on CBS's Hawaii Five-0 in the same hour, Danno's brother comes to paradise, a hedonistic Wall Street broker played by comedian Dane Cook. A mad bomber is also on the loose, which might actually be a welcome diversion if Cook tries to do stand-up.

... Castle

(Monday, 10/9c, ABC)

Who's that heroic looking interloper muscling into Beckett and Castle's turf? That would be former Heroes star Adrian Pasdar, guesting in a tense two-parter as a fed who takes over a murder investigation that exposes a conspiracy with calamitous implications for the city. (Sounds like a job for Jack Bauer, but those days are over.)
