Q&A SECTION (with Team Watch with Kristin at E! Online)

Question: Supernatural scoop please! – Daniel

Team Watch with Kristin: Supernatural is once again dabbling with time travel! This time, it’s not the boys heading back in time, but a cult member named Henry (think Cary Grant meets Robert Downey Jr.) traveling from 1958 traveling to 2013. And it seems like he brings something pretty important along with him…

Question: You know I want Fringe info! – G.L.

Team Watch with Kristin: We always know what our readers want. We are psychic. Also, you guys tell us all the time. Anyway, mark your calendars for Friday, Jan. 18, because that is when the final two episodes of Fringe air back to back on Fox. What will Fringe’s send-off be like? Joshua Jackson told us in his own words: “The place that they’re trying to take the characters at the end, at least for me, seems like a satisfying and in some ways almost logical, sort of necessary ending for each one of these characters.”

Question: I’m a fan of Emily Owens on the CW, so any scoop on that would be awesome. – Candice in Portland

Team Watch with Kristin: You might want to brace yourself for episode 11, because it will be a doozy. A huge bus crash sends numerous people in various states (from slightly injured to near-death) to the E.R. all at once, which means our heroine Emily will have her hardest day yet at the hospital. And that’s in terms of both medical problems and emotional drama. Do you think she’s up to the task?

That’s it. Enjoy!
