Lucy Lawless: TV Guide News

What on Earth: Battlestar, Lost finales | Roush Dispatch | 6/14/2008
I’ve finally come back down to Earth—or more precisely, to the world of TV (after a few weeks abroad and way out of the loop)—and am thrilled to find the planet, for all of its problems, in better shape than the explorers of Battlestar Galactica did upon the conclusion of their long and arduous journey. A powerfully downbeat, and thus hardly out-of-character, wrap for the first half of the final season of one of TV’s all-time-greatest science-fiction dramas.Because of my... read more
Curb Shocker: Who Would You Choose? | Roush Dispatch | 10/22/2007
'Fess up, fellow Curb Your Enthusiasm fans. Your first response to Sunday night’s pivotal episode was: What took her so long?When Cheryl left the TV version of Larry David in this blisteringly funny episode (reflecting, though one has to imagine far more humorously, the recent real-life split of Larry and wife Laurie David), you’ve got to admit that you’ve often wondered, as most of their acquaintances have, why she ever stayed with this misanthropic, myopically self-obsessed,... read more
Episode Recap: "The TiVo Guy" | Curb Your Enthusiasm | 10/22/2007
Knowing what any good Curb viewer already knows about Larry David's real life — namely that he and Laurie, his actual wife, recently divorced due to "irreconcilable differences" — this episode was uncomfortable to watch. Yes, if I called my husband from a rolling airplane and he asked me where the warrantee was for the TiVo, I'd be pissed, and I'd probably leave him, too. Actually that's a lie; my DVR means more to me than any man ever could. I'd probably be the one to be left. Like... read more
Episode Recap: "False Flag" | Burn Notice | 9/14/2007
I enjoyed the U.S. Open but I’m not nearly as passionate about tennis (well, any sport really) as I am about this show.... I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking: Stop your yappin’, Kara, and get to recappin’. Well, here I go.I enjoyed Evelyn the client turning into Evelyn the assassin. And what do you know? She’s got some history with Michael. We don’t see enough of Lucy Lawless in general (I can’t wait for her return on Battlestar Galactica next... read more
Lucy Lawless Gives Notice: I Need Rescuing! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/13/2007
Lucy Lawless as a damsel in distress? Say it ain't so! In a wild departure from her usual badass roles, the former Xena: Warrior Princess star will appear on USA Network's Burn Notice (tonight, 10 pm/ET) as a weepy, needy, emotionally frazzled mom who hires Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) to track down her missing husband and son. A much ballsier Lawless plays herself on Curb Your Enthusiasm in an episode airing Oct. 21. We gave the actress a call to discuss both gigs, plus the one that got away ?... read more

Battlestar's Big Exit: "They Wanted Her Out of the Way" | Today's News: Our Take | 1/22/2007
SPOILER ALERT for those Rob Lowe-aholics who have not yet watched Sunday night's episode of BSG....She had it coming. Battlestar Galactica's D'Anna Biers, the bossy, rule-busting Cylon played by Lucy Lawless, has been terminated. But the deed wasn't done by her human enemies — it was by her fellow Cylons, who "boxed" hundreds of D'Annas into a container the size of an iPod Nano and put it into permanent cold storage. "D'Anna shattered their peaceful little lives," Lawless says. "By... read more
