Producer/writer David S. Goyer is hotter than a solar flash on the big screen these days. While the veteran comic-book (Justice Society of America) and sci-fi/horror-film scribe (Batman Begins, Dark City) is currently working on, among other projects, big-screen takes on The Flash and Ghost Rider, it'
Tonight on ABC's Lost (9 pm/ET), a crisis involving baby Aaron leads Claire to delve into the unsolved mystery of exactly what happened during her Season 1 kidnapping at the hands of ghoulish Ethan Rom (aka the Other man). TVGuide.com spoke to Aussie beauty Emilie de Ravin about Claire's new adventure, her "hard-to-handle" Lost leading man and her frighteningly fun new role. TVGuide.com: I have to wonder, having often flitted between Australia and Los Angeles yourself, was it eerie to do a show about a doomed Oz-L.A. flight?Emilie de Ravin: Yeah, kinda! I never really thought about it too much, though. I think it was more odd that Claire was the only Australian survivor. [Laughs]
Talk about making a splash: Surface, NBC's freshman sea-creature feature, signed off last Monday with a finale filled with lots of tidal waves and slithery beasties — if not satisfying answers about what exactly is going on. TVGuide.com had the pleasure of picking the brain of series cocreator Josh Pate by hitting him with some burning questions (including, yes, "Will Surface be back in the fall?") TVGuide.com: Was it always the plan to have all the principals finally unite in the first-season finale?Josh Pate: Yes. Yes it was. We always wanted to 'cross the streams.'" At first NBC gave us a full pickup, and then they gave us this weird 15 [episode] order, so where the finale fell was changed around, but we always wanted the characters

When Fox's Bones returned from hiatus last Wednesday in its new 9 pm/ET, post-American Idol time slot, the sexy-spooky crime series earned its highest ratings yet. The bad news? It was trounced by the competition — but that's what happens when you're up against Lost and Veronica Mars. Bones' Eric Millegan, though, is taking it in stride. And why not? This small-screen newbie has enjoyed incredible luck, snagging the role of boy-genius assistant Zack but three weeks after arriving in Hollywood for his first pilot season. (Other shows he was eyed by include Threshold and Kitchen Confidential; both now RIP.) In keeping with his good fortune, Millegan is betting Bones will
On the heels of reports that CBS' Threshold, pulled for the remainder of November sweeps, has halted production, comes word that Fox's Reunion and ABC's Hot Properties each have had the plug pulled after 13 episodes. Thus far, there is no word on whether Reunion will wrap up its central murder mystery before vanishing; Hot Properties will air through December.
And in another blow to compelling, scripted television, CBS has yanked this Tuesday's episode of Threshold and, according to TheFutonCritic.com, halted production of the alien-invasion drama. Filling Threshold's time slot tomorrow at 10 pm/ET will be a repeat of Criminal Minds and a good deal of grumbling from sci-fi geeks.
The timing, as it would turn out, could not be better. Elizabeth Berkley's showstopper guest-starring appearance on Threshold, originally slated for earlier in November, instead will air tonight, as the CBS series debuts in its new Tuesdays-at-10 time slot. TVGuide.com was thrilled to talk up the beauty about her role in an alien invasion, the latest news about Screech plus the wildest thing she has ever done! TVGuide.com: I figure you must either be super-jazzed about your Threshold gig and/or a very good gal pal of Carla Gugino's to do press for this, seeing as how you're opening yourself up to
CBS has finally picked up Jennifer Finnigan's Close to Home for a full season — and, in turn, locked the freshman drama into its new Fridays-at-9 time slot, where it has been flourishing in the ethereal afterglow of Jennifer Love Hewitt's assets. Threshold, meanwhile, continues to play the waiting game. Will it be saved by the belle Elizabeth Berkley? Check out our Insider Q&A!
Ghost WhispererOK, they moved Threshold off of Friday nights and then decided to put on a Ghost Whisperer that would have actually been a sensible episode to pair it with. Melinda's getting headaches and a slew of sleepless nights from a painful noise that is transmitted electronically. Hmm... a strange alien sound that causes headaches and makes people not seem themselves? Sounds very familiar. But unfortunately no one was possessed or gained superhuman strength or anything like that, just a poor kid who was upset that his now-deceased mom was having an affair and was killed while frolicking in the woods. Oh, and the troublemaking teen who made the mistake of stealing Melinda's SUV: He's just a sensitive kid who doesn't really want to carjack or set fire to house
What do a pubescent wizard and a team of E.T.-busters have in common? Producer David Heyman, who has helped shepherd all of the Harry Potter films to date and also executive-produces CBS' Threshold (airing Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, beginning Nov. 22). On the occasion of the premiere of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, TVGuide.com seized the opportunity to have a one-on-one discussion with the man behind both big-screen magic and small-screen spookiness. TVGuide.com: When all is told, after the seventh and final Harry Potter book makes its way into theaters, how many years of your life will have been consumed by the wizards?D
Jennifer Love Hewitt's Ghost Whisperer attracted a series-high 12.6 million viewers Friday, but only 8.1 million of 'em stuck around at 9 pm for Threshold. That would explain CBS' decision to test out the freshman serial thriller on Tuesdays at 10 pm beginning Nov. 22. In turn, Close to Home, which currently occupies that slot, will shift to Fridays at 9 pm.
I'm glad I don't live in Miami anymore. Arthur Ramsey may call it the land of "babes, beaches and babes," but after living there six years, I can tell you from experience that the burg attracts disaster like Job. I once had to cancel a date with a great girl because of a riot. My sister was caught in Hurricane Andrew. Crabs dig tunnels under patios. It's always humid. And finally, on this show an illegal indoor rave led to the spread of the alien signal. I'd chalk this up to the infectiousness of rock and roll, except for the fact that DJ Karen Reynolds was playing house music. It's just Miami's luck that Karen's mix included a third-hand copy of the alien nutsmaker that she got from her brother on the cargo ship. Instead of providing th
Question: Please, please, please tell me that Peter Dinklage's character is not the one being killed off on Threshold. I adore him, and he is the main reason I watch that show!Answer: (SPOILER ALERT) Do you really think Brannon Braga would kill off the Station Agent?
From what I can gather so far, the sonic alien virus allows the average human to absorb punishment like Sylvester the Cat and inflict it like Godzilla. Exhibit A: that terrorist gentleman Park. He was shot and zapped by an electric fence while trying to escape Detective Rossi (Park did kill her partner), but that didn't kill dat bad ol' Parky-tat. Nope. Then Park was shackled to a bed by the good folks at Homeland Security. Did that deter him? Nah. Parky merely broke the handcuffs and stomped on his captors like they were the denizens of a scale railroad burg. And why? Because, like Slade (more than Quiet Riot), Parky was bound and determined to get the folks of Earth to "Cum on Feel the Noize" from some transmitter gizmo that he built in a Baltimore subway. Happily, the sod died in a grisly fashion before
Question: First of all, your Joss Whedon interview was fantastic! And since you're clearly such an insider, I was hoping you could give me some hope about the future of my favorite new show of the season, Threshold. Its near-total lack of buzz is making me very nervous.Answer: Let the buzz start here: Threshold is fast becoming appointment TV for me. I wasn't a big fan of the pilot, but somewhere in the last two episodes I became hooked. And here’s a little prattle (see?!?!?!?): A member of Threshold (MAJOR SPOILER ALERT) will be killed in the Oct. 21 episode, per Molly's orders.
