Jack Bauer fans rejoice! Kiefer Sutherland's action series "24" will return with a limited 12-episode run. However, there's no word yet on whether the actor will be reprising his role.

The spy action thriller revolved around Bauer, a government agent who is called upon to avert nation-threatening crises in the span of 24 hours.

Executive producer David Fury confirmed the news via Twitter on Friday by posting a link on Twitter that directed fans to a Deadline.com article about the supposed revival.

Fury wrote: "Yep, I'm pulling double duty along w/ (new pilot) TYRANT. Whoo & Hoo!"

Bear McCreary
If you don’t know his name, odds are you’ve heard one of composer Bear McCreary’s themes in some TV show over the last few years. His scores can be found in shows about people who stop at nothing to protect their target to space operas to a show about the zombie apocalypse to a show about Leonardo Da Vinci.

For the latter one, in STARZ’s new original Da Vinci’s Demons, McCreary had to compose something for the first time that was a score for a period show. Fans can download the theme, which can be played backwards and forwards, via iTunes.

'Arrow' Review: 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town'

May 9th, 2013 10:03am EDT
Oliver and Felicity
The writers shot Yow Fei in the bleeping head. I'm devastated. I imagined Yow Fei as an influential mentor to Oliver throughout Oliver's five year development into the most badass person on the planet. I felt rage over Yow Fei's untimely demise, over Fyres blatant lies, and the unsettling fact that Yow Fei will take the fall for the horrible terrorist attacks to come. I felt for Shado as she realized what just happened in front of her very own eyes. I wished Oliver was as badass five years ago as he is now so that he could escape without effort and then take out Fyres entire crew in less th...

'NCIS'
CBS dominated the late-season week, topped by ‘NCIS’ with more than 18 million viewers.

Among shows that beat FOX’s ‘American Idol’ in the all-important demo this week: ‘Big Bang’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ ‘Idol’ placed 9th and 10th, respectively. One interesting thing about this week’s top 10: All broadcast networks had at least one show place. For NBC it was ‘The Voice’ and A...

Ellen Hollman
After speaking with Ellen Hollman, Saxa on Spartacus: War of the Damned, earlier this year, it only made sense to talk to her again to get her thoughts on the series finale that aired last month.

(Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen it of course!)

Here’s what we discussed:

Let's get this out of the way first: what did you think of your death scene?

You mean perishing on the battlefield amidst my fellow warriors in the arms of the God of the Arena himself? Pretty damn awesome.

You started out in the season very much with Gannicus, but he pulled away and we saw less of you towards the end...

'Nikita' Recap: The Black Box Mission Ends In 'High-Value Target'

May 4th, 2013 9:15am EDT
Nikita
Following Alex's implosion last week, there are only three episodes of Nikita left for the team to pull themselves together - and for the show to hopefully secure a fourth season from The CW. "High-Value Target" is not really the way to go about either of those things.

We're going to flashbacks yet again, as in 2005 Michael debriefs Nikita on the operation that we've already seen looks back at during season one, in which she took out the head of a major drug cartel. It turns out this is film that's being watched by an associate of said drug dealer, after still-evil Owen gave it to him. He'...

'Star Trek: The Next Generation' Continues Blu-Ray Voyage With Season 3

May 2nd, 2013 11:45am EDT
Star Trek; TNG
The fantastic adventures of the starship Enterprise-D continue with the arrival of Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Three on Blu-Ray.

If you're at all aware of the previous two seasons on Blu (read my reviews of season one and season two), then you know what you're getting with this release. In the new format, TNG looks like a whole new show and sounds fantastic. Details are at times stupefying in how sharp they are, and all those sci-fi special effects come through loud and clear. This is probably the strongest argument for releasing TV on Blu-Ray that has ever existed. Even if you...

'Arrow' Review: 'The Undertaking' Delves Into Malcolm's Motive

Arrow
The month of May is exciting for TV watchers. Seasons come together in the month of May, as the weather truly turns to beauty, with the promises of excitement and resolution in many TV shows across networks and cable channels. Spring began in late March but the sense of renewal and promise that's part of one's idea of spring doesn't kick in until the first day of May. May ends with the unofficial beginning of summer, and it begins with excitement. Similarly, May sweeps has excitement. May sweeps certainly gave me a sense of renewal as a blogger. The long grind of the TV season is nearly ove...
