As Alias winds to a close, ... | Matt Roush | 1/2/2006
Question: As Alias winds to a close, I've had to find a new favorite show. I always have one (Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Roswell, Homefront, Relativity, My So-Called Life) — a show that I fall in love with and can't live without. My new favorite is Battlestar Galactica. Wow! It's definitely the best show on TV right now, and could quite possibly end up as one of the best TV shows ever. I keep asking myself how the networks could have passed on something so awesome, and I'm wondering if they even got the chance. With the obsession for mainstream ratings at the broadcast networks, do you think they would have ever allowed BSG to become the jewel it is now? The story lines are very controversial (gang rape, men and women in the military as equals, promiscuous sex by the lead female heroine, what it means to be human). I think BSG would have been so watered down by now if it were at a network, it would be unrecognizable. Do you see this as a growing trend, or just an anomaly for ... read more
Numbers How is it that I get the... | Today's News: Our Take | 11/14/2005
NumbersHow is it that I get the sneaking suspicion that I might actually be learning some mathematical skills watching this show? Sure, when Charlie and Marshall (played by Roswell alum Colin Hanks, who picked up the lengthy lingo really quickly) were waging their war of the nerds, half the time I didn't understand what they were saying, but these days I've started using terms like "algorithms" and "convergence." Must be the cool way Charlie breaks his tough things down with simple analogies like tonight's comparison to jigsaw puzzles. Actually I'm not the only one who is picking up some of the geek speak. Agents Sinclair and Granger are also starting to understand Charlie's language and even went to him for help with their quest to find a bullet and ended up using calcula read more
Just wanted to get your ... | Matt Roush | 9/5/2005
Question: Just wanted to get your thoughts on The 4400's second season and see if you knew anything about a third season. I thought the second season was pretty darn good for a sophomore season as well as being the show's first elongated one. Many shows seem to have trouble their second year, including Roswell, Felicity, The O.C. and many others. Do you have any scoop on how the show did in ratings? What are the chances that it will be back next year? If so, when? Answer: As of this writing, there's no confirmed deal on a third season, but that's just a formality. The 4400 will be back, probably next June. It wasn't quite the ratings sensation of a year ago, but it's solid. Unlike some USA and Sci Fi series, which split their seasons between summer and winter, this batch of 4400 was (literally) all they wrote, and there won't be new episodes until next summer at the earliest. As for the season itself, I thought it was hit-or-miss as it went on. In some ways, it was more like a first ... read more
Roswell Alum the New Buffy? | Today's News: Our Take | 9/17/2004
Ever since UPN staked Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we've been waiting for a new Chosen One to emerge and kick some bogeyman butt. With the premiere of Darklight this Saturday (9 pm/ET on Sci Fi), our patience finally pays off: Roswell ingenue Shiri Appleby comes out swingin' as Lilith, an age-old demon reprogrammed to fight the forces of evil. Sound good? It did to Miss Appleby, too. "When you see a strong heroine like that in a script, I think it would be silly not to jump at the opportunity [to take the part]," the 25-year-old California girl tells TV Guide Online. "I knew it would be interesting, and it was. It's very odd looking in the mirror and seeing your face covered in purple [makeup] — definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience!" Or maybe, just maybe, twice in a lifetime. The creature feature's ending leaves open the door to a sequel (if not a series). However, Appleby says that no one's come knocking... yet. "I haven't hea read more
