WAREHOUSE 13 – DEVELOPING THE TONE
Do you have any comments on the tone of the show or how you feel it’s developed over time?
Saul Rubinek: Well one of the things that happened was that Jack was – we were all a little worried how dark Season – the first part of Season 4 was going to be, and it looked like our viewership was down and we were all wondering – a little bit, and we were all wondering whether or not it had to do with the tone of the show? And after it was over, the research came out saying how much – the research showed that nobody – that there was so much online viewing that it was a tremendous boost from the season before, and that there weren’t viewers – there was no significant reaction to the fact that it was dark.In fact, people liked the fact that we had gone so dark. It highlighted whatever humor was there.So we were a little concerned. They took some chances.They’re taking chances again.

NEW ZOMBIE MINI-SERIES
BBC AMERICA’s co-production, In The Flesh, tells a very human story…about the undead. The mini-series springs to life with the channel’s special broadcast event, premiering over three consecutive nights. Zombie teenager Kieren Walker isn’t comfortable in his ‘undead’ state. He didn’t want to come back – he wanted to be dead. After his suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see him again. But then, shortly after his funeral, thousands rose from the dead. After months of re-habilitation and medication, the zombies, now known as PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers, are gradually being returned to their homes. When Kieran returns, he is forced to confront his family, the community that rejected him and the haunting flashbacks of what he did in his untreated state. BBC AMERICA’s special three-night premiere event of In The Flesh begins Thursday, June 6, 10:00pm ET/PT.

COLIN MORGAN INTERVIEW
From The End Of Season 4
“Merlin revealing his magic is definitely going to be the ultimate test for Arthur and Merlin, and I think it might be explored in the fifth season,” The levels of trust between friends is one thing, but Arthur’s distrust of magic is something that runs longer than he and Merlin have been friends. It will take much more influence and much more work to break and to overcome. Certainly we’re entering into that territory, but it’s never going to be an easy task for Merlin. Still, it has to happen sooner or later.”
RON ELY’S UNDER APPRECIATED TARZAN ON DVD
What are you impressions of pulp heroes?
Ron Ely: When I was a kid, we had radio, we had Saturday morning serials, and we had comic books. It wasn’t like today – we had a limited array of things, but those things especially appealed to kids. I loved comic books, and I read a lot of them. Archie, Superman, Captain Marvel – those types.Part and parcel of being a kid back then was to latch onto larger than life heroes. It wasn’t until we became adults that our hero image became more adult and humanized with flaws. Back then, they had no flaws – our heroes were the biggest, the baddest, and the most honorable. All those principles set in motion everything that followed suit for me. Doc Savage was one of the most successful series of books – the character was one of the triumvirate of great action heroes, along with Tarzan and Superman. Those three really set the standard for pulp heroes. It’s interesting that Warner Archive has all three of them – they’re like a superhero factory. I can’t think of anybody that can compare.

WAREHOUSE 13 HAS GALAXY QUEST REUNION FOR TWO STARS
Tony Tellado: Hello again guys. I do have a Galaxy Quest question. As I understand it Enrico you came up with the cadence of your characters talk, the way he spoke in Galaxy Quest.
Enrico Colantoni: Yes that’s true. Dean it was in the audition process that we sort of discovered it.
Jack Kenny: It was before you even got the part you came up with it?
Enrico Colantoni: Yes.
Jack Kenny: Wow.
Enrico Colantoni: Yes kind of, sort of. It sort of came in because he’s an alien. What does an alien look like? And then Dean said – he gave me a direction that made me think of a Jehovah’s Witness. So I took it in that direction with a happy guy knocking on your door, just happy to see you, the innocence.
Missi Pyle: You’re so innocent.

My Thoughts on What This New Trilogy Brings By Britta Siemen
My feelings on The Hobbit film have been mixed from day one. Like so many others, I first read The Hobbit when I was about ten or eleven years old and it changed my life. In the decade since, I’ve re-read the story on an annual basis, along with The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. I immediately threw myself into the world of Tolkien scholarship and devoted most of my spare time to reading, studying, and writing about Tolkien. With Tolkien’s works playing such an enormous role in my life, essentially being the foundation for everything that I’ve done since, I worried that they would be ruined if and when adapted to film.
However, after I saw Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films – which I’ll admit turned out very well, despite the saga being considered “unfilmable” – I felt that if The Hobbit was going to be made, there was no one better for the job. Even though a number of my favourite scenes were either omitted or altered to adhere to time constraints, I still felt that Jackson and his team had done The Lord of the Rings justice, and part of me really was excited to see Middle-earth again on the big screen. Better yet, we’d get two more opportunities to do so.
MAN OF STEEL
