I’ve been here a long time, happy to be Senior Editor. My kids are ok with me being a nerd (at least I think so, but they’ve left home, so, like, who knows). Hubby rolls his eyes. Covering Outlander and a variety of other current shows, movies and books.
As plots for a TV show go, the new CBS show Intelligence, whose pilot aired tonight, is not original. Combine a man with a computer, use him in our government’s service to fight the bad guys, and you get lots of cool visual effects and someone who’s screwed up in more ways than one. Chuck […]
Just a quick bit – in a short Twitter conversation earlier today, Outlander author Diana Gabaldon gave us a hint of what will come after the eighth book (Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, nicknamed “MOBY,” scheduled for publication in June 2014): Brothers and clan leaders Dougal and Colum Mackenzie are played by Graham McTavish […]
Revolution returns tomorrow night, Wednesday, Jan. 8. Tomorrow’s episode, Three Amigos (and where is Chevy Chase when you need him?) will take Monroe, Miles and Rachel south of the Texas border into Mexico. Charlie and her grandfather search for Aaron, missing since he sicced the nanotech on Dr. Horn, in retaliation for killing Cynthia. And […]
Maril Davis of Tall Ships Productions, executive producer of Outlander, did an extended Twitter Q&A this morning. I apologize for the lack of pictures here, but since production’s been on hiatus for the last couple of weeks, we haven’t had too many new images. Q Is there a new director on set for the next […]
Like 95% of the females who watched Lost, I LOVE Josh Holloway. And I loved the show Chuck, about a nerd who became a superspy when he became the “Intersect”, housing all the US’s secret info inside his brain. This week, we get to see the combination of these two in Intelligence, CBS’ new action […]
Can they keep up this pace? Can WE? The STARZ series won’t be out for (most likely, since they’ve given us no definite date yet) probably seven or eight more months, but the diabolic marketing team is conspiring to keep us all in high blood pressure meds. Between the fan events that most of us […]
Just a quick Sunday night post to catch up on a couple of things: Earlier in December, STARZ announced that they would hold a special fan event in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 11 (I won’t be able to be there…). While the event was free to fans, preregistration was required – and filled up […]
The second installment of Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy, based on a short book that bears little resemblance to the movies, is a fun, exciting film, even for people (like my husband) who generally don’t enjoy fantasy. I loved all the LOTR movies and books, and thoroughly enjoyed the first Hobbit movie, even though it really […]
Today’s Twitter Q&A was with Matt Roberts, head writer for the STARZ production of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander. We learned yesterday in a Q&A with producer Maril Davis that Matt Roberts was the one who originally gave her the books to read with the idea of possibly doing a TV treatment; he says he’s a big […]
Today on Twitter, Maril Davis of Tall Ships Productions conducted an extensive and very interesting Q&A about the Outlander production. I realize that many people are not comfortable with Twitter, or aren’t using it, so I’ve transcribed the session here. If you would like to see the whole thing (there were many comments on some […]
