(S02E23) "There's really no formula for perfection." - NicoleExpectations. Everyone had expectations this week, including myself. Sadly, the season finale of
Kyle XY didn't meet my expectations. The previous episodes had set everything up for a rocking finale and, instead, we were treated to a mushy prom filled with teen angst, expectations, mishaps, and a spiked punch. It was such a letdown that I wonder if the the writers were already in strike mode when they wrote this. In retrospect,
episode 2.22 would have served as a better season finale.

(S02E22) "I think it's time we introduce ourselves." - A Latnok memberWow! Another great
Kyle XY episode that paved the way for what will surely be a rocking finale. What? You thought this was the finale because it's episode 2.22? ABC Family is actually treating us with a 23rd hour of
XY this season! So expect to see the prom unfold, more Sarah and Jessi dealings, and surely more Latnok. In the meantime, let's deal with this week's Jessi-centric episode, "Hello..."

(S02E21) "We need to prove that we matter." - Brian about himself and JessiIt smells like the season is almost over, no? Episodes are getting better and offer us a good crop of background info and mysteries (aka everything Sarah-related and Brian's end game). The most interesting storyline this week was probably that of Kyle exchanging messages with the "anonymous" person, tracking down Sarah and finally coming face to face with her. We've been waiting weeks for this reveal and it's finally here! You can bet that with the way the episode ended, episode 2.22 will be Sarah-centric.

(S02E20) "I'm alive." - SarahAs many of us theorized, Sarah is alive and kicking. What we don't know though is where she is, why she sent the disk to Jessi and not Adam, how she discovered Jessi and where she lives, what her end game is, etc. The reveal of her being alive was interesting as in tapped in Kyle's abilities and showed everyone what could happen if Kyle was "mediocre" (Jessi's word here not mine).

The Saturn Award nominations are in, and many popular sci-fi and fantasy shows made the cut. Returning favorites like Lost, Heroes, and Dexter were recognized by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films, as were newcomers Pushing Daisies and Journeyman.
With seven nominations, Lost is ahead of Dexter and Heroes, which received five and four nominations, respectively. Heroes was the big winner last year, taking home awards for Best Network Series as well as acting awards for Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere. Both actors received nominations this year, along with co-star Greg Grunberg.

(S02E19) "The human body has its own built-in repair kit." - KyleThis week's episode put the wheels in motion for a finale that will surely have us finally coming face-to-face with Sarah. I don't buy that she's dead. If Adam can heal himself, surely Sarah could too and probably better and faster than he could. Plus, the episode was way too Sarah-heavy not to mention her again in the four upcoming episodes of the season.

(S02E18) "Nothing ever happens on a Sunday." - J.T.As soon as J.T. said that line after telling Josh he was in charge of The Rack, we knew that something would indeed happen on this particular Sunday. What happened? A newbie makes tons of mistakes, there are a lot of customers, money is missing from the cash register, there is a fit between two enemies, two customers clash, a couple must reevaluate how truthful they are to one another, a father figure plays mastermind games, and someone from the past resurfaces! Not an ordinary Sunday indeed!

(S02E17) "This family means everything to me." - KyleThe boy without a belly button was put under the microscope this week on
Kyle XY. Okay, not a real microscope but still, the social worker asked tough questions to the Tragers and Kyle and visited the house to make sure Kyle was raised in a safe place. Because of this unexpected visit, the teens plotted and planned together in order to get rid of cases of beer and porn, hide Amanda and... take care of the tub situation. "Grounded" was pretty much a filler episode. The storylines didn't really move forward and there wasn't much new info revealed about the characters.

(S02E16) "We need to talk." That statement was key in this week's episode. Still learning about the world, Kyle didn't know what the statement could mean. For him (and Jessi), it meant that the other person wanted to...well, talk! But for the entire Trager family, it meant that Amanda was ready to call it quits. I was sure that she didn't want to break up but I expected her to reveal that something terrible happened to her while in the Big Apple.

(S02E15) The few people who commented last week seemed to think that episode was pretty disappointing. Man, I hate to think what you thought this week.
It's not that this episode was a stinker, mind you. We did have some advancement with Kyle's and Jessie's powers, which of course could lead to some pretty cool future episodes. But tonight I felt like I was watching more of an after-school special, which is weird unless you're attending night school.

(S02E14) For the past few months I've been working to catch up with this show, and over the weekend I finally caught up. I'm surprised at how much this show seems to have fallen under the radar, because it really is quite well done. It's got the sci-fi aspect to it, likable characters and spares us long waits for answers. I've got a few issues with it, but overall it's extremely entertaining.
This was an oddly placed episode. The last episode was in September, and while it ended with a cliffhanger (actually, literally), I think tonight's episode would have served better in September than now. It felt almost like a season ender, didn't it?

Kyle XY fans rejoice!
TV Guide reports that our favorite
super-teen with no belly button returns to the small screen on January 14 in its regular timeslot. That is when we'll learn if
Jessi survived her fall (although if you can't wait until then, keep reading).
And we have another reason to be celebrate, the cast and crew had time to complete the 10 remaining episodes of Season 2 before the writers' strike started.
Spoilers ahead!Continue reading Kyle XY's January return

More secrets and lies! More Madacorp! More mysteries! More Foss! Sorry, I guess the news that
Kyle XY will return for a third season got to me. Those who read my
Kyle XY reviews over the summer know that I'm a Foss fan, so I sure hope they find a way to have him stick around as long as possible.
Various sources confirm that even if the last ten episodes of Season 2 have yet to air, ABC Family is satisfied enough with how
Kyle XY performed over the summer (and probably with how the second part of the current season looks) that they decided to renew the series.

S02E13)
Last week's episode put the wheels in motion for the midseason finale of
Kyle XY. "Leap of Faith" not only answered questions (what was the connection between Adam and that Jessi-looking woman) but also raised tons of new ones (who is keeping Adam alive and why). Even if most of the fans have been pleased with the pace at which the show answers questions, the wait between now and the midseason premiere will be quite long.

(
S02E12) "Lockdown" is the episode before the midseason finale (yes, it's already that time of year!). The episode pushed the storylines further in order to set the tone for this coming Monday's episode, "Leap of Faith."
Thanks to Nicole setting a lockdown, Andy and Josh came to an understanding, Declan and Lori talked things through, Amanda and Kyle explained one another (well, sort of), and Kyle was able to get guidance for his next move. But let's not forget that the lockdown also had an effect on Nicole and Stephen, who somewhat grew more apart but, in the end, made their way back together.
