SATURDAY
... If ghosts are more your thing, then Bedlam will be quite the wallow, because there are more spirits than you can say boo to in this haunted mental asylum-turned-posh condo complex. Unhappy ghosts lurk everywhere in these corridors, waiting to pounce on anyone with a sexual peccadillo or illicit skeleton in their designer closets. Though the stories provide plenty of jolts, Bedlam becomes less scary with repetition during its six-episode duration, because we can see these persistent ghouls all too easily. So can Jed (heartthrob Theo James), the troubled empath whose past is linked to Bedlam Heights' sordid history.
Jed keeps busy in each episode trying to avert all manner of deadly spectral mischief — this week's premiere is big on creepy water effects — but by the sixth episode, when two of his sexy single roomies are playing with tarot cards in a bedroom full of candles, you figure they're just asking for it. Why don't they all just move?

SATURDAY
Tonight's Top Pick:
It's a night of transition for BBC America's "Supernatural Saturdays," as Doctor Who (9/8c) takes a rest — but hopefully not his final rest — in the season finale, making room for the premiere of the spooky Bedlam (10/9c), which will occupy Who's slot in future weeks.
The Who finale takes us back to the beginning of the season, which foreshadowed the Doctor's death by a Utah lake. In this episode, teasingly titled "The Wedding of River Song," the Doctor returns to the lake for his final reckoning, having realized the only way to preserve the universe is to accept death. We have to imagine there's a loophole (or wormhole) somewhere to remedy the situation...

FRIDAY
Tonight's Top Pick:
When worlds collide, Fox's cult gem Fringe (9/8c) is at the top of its game. You've never seen a murder-mystery manhunt like tonight's chilling and provocative episode, in which the Fringe team from the "other" world enlists "our" Olivia to cross over to track down a serial killer in the alt-universe — by bringing along the madman's doppelganger from our world, who happens to be a professor specializing in forensic pathology and profiling. The "what-if" vibes are fascinating as the professor — and by extension everyone in the dual-universe loop — considers the vagaries of fate and environment when confronted with "the path not taken." The story is suspenseful, poignant and wonderfully original. And in case you're wondering why Walter stays behind, surrounding himself with a cacophony of music: It may have something to do with that nagging disembodied voice he can't stop hearing. Hurry home soon, Peter Bishop!

HAVEN - BLASTR: Haven's Nathan spills on that big kiss and tonight's season finale
By Kathie Huddleston
Sep 30, 2011
There's been big stuff brewing on Syfy's Haven, and life's about to get even more challenging for the show's characters on the season-two cliffhanging finale, said actor Lucas Bryant. While the Canadian actor promises we'll learn some of the character's secrets, don't expect to find out too much...
"I mean, you get some great answers, learn some crazy stuff. And we'll see if people think that it's as rug-pulling as the season-one finale was. But ... there are some definite cliffhangers. I mean, it would be nice to say that everything is revealed and they figure out how to end the Troubles and everyone lives happily ever after. But we want to do another 10 seasons," said Bryant.
Last week's episode, "Business As Usual," featured a big kiss between Nathan and Audrey, along with teasers about Audrey and Duke's pasts.
"I think a lot of fans got what they wanted this past episode—I mean, a taste of it, anyway. And then maybe some were horrified, but I hope there's not too many of those," joked Bryant. "I'm sorry to say I don't see [Audrey and Nathan's romance] progressing as easily as one might hope and realize. I mean there's definitely going to be some roadblocks and speed bumps; I can't and won't tell you exactly what they are, and I don't know the half of them. But yes, I think that puts us on a trajectory that has potential to be lovely, but will probably inevitably be very difficult and potentially dangerous."
On tonight's finale, "Sins of the Fathers," ghosts of the past return to reveal shocking truths about Audrey, Nathan and Duke's future. Battlestar Galactica'sTahmoh Penikett guest-stars, along with Nicholas Campbell, who played Nathan's father, the Chief, in season one...
BEDLAM - BBC AMERICA VIDEO FEATURETTE: Meet Kate - Premieres Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 10/9C
Meet Kate (Charlotte Salt, The Tudors, Wildfire). Kate's the building manager at Bedlam Heights. She's great to look at, enjoys relaxing in the tub... and is beginning to realize that converting a mental hospital into a luxury apartment complex may result in some unforeseen consequences.
Don't miss BEDLAM, the new addition to BBC America's Supernatural Saturday, that dares to imagine a haunted Melrose Place.
Premiering immediately after the season finale of Doctor Who, *** Saturday October 1 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America. Then, starting October 8, new episodes move to its regular slot: Saturdays at 9/8c.
Bedlam is a ghostly series set around Bedlam Heights -- a hip, newly renovated apartment building. Those who live there think they have the best address in the world, but little do they know their new home has a harrowing past.
The conversion of Bedlam Heights from a former insane asylum has awakened the ghosts of its dark and violent past. These spirits wish to reclaim what's theirs and seek revenge on those who have wronged them.
Kate (Charlotte Salt, The Tudors), a direct descendant of the people who ran the former asylum for generations, lives and works in Bedlam Heights. Her father, Warren (Hugo Speer, Skins), still owns the old family property, and Kate is helping him fill the remaining vacant apartments. She shares her apartment with roommates Ryan (Will Young, Skins) and Molly (Ashley Madekwe, Secret Diary of a Call Girl), but only with the unexpected arrival of Kate's adopted cousin, Jed (Theo James, Downton Abbey) -- a troubled man with a history of mental illness who sees ghosts and visions of the past -- are they able to uncover the terrifying secrets of Bedlam Heights. The hauntings that follow prove that sometimes when you scratch away the surface, things aren't always what they seem.
Don't miss BEDLAM, part of BBC America's Supernatural Saturday line-up, *** premiering immediately following the Doctor Who season finale on Saturday October 1 at 10/9c *** -- before moving to its regular timeslot, Saturdays at 9/8c starting October 8. Starring Theo James, Ashley Madekwe, Hugo Speer, Charlotte Salt and Will Young.

(9PM ET, The CW)
Hiatus may be over, but 'Supernatural' apparently had another killer cliffhanger up its sleeve for the season premiere, and we're hoping episode two will shed a little light on a new set of burning questions: what are the leviathans, is Castiel really gone for good and will Sam be able to differentiate hallucination from reality? Meanwhile, Bobby worries that Dean is beginning to stumble under the weight of fighting Castiel and keeping an eye on Sam.

SANCTUARY - MEDIA BLVD MAGAZINE: Sanctuary Returns For a Fourth Season
By Kenn Gold
27 September 2011
Sanctuary returns to Syfy on October 7th 2011 for it’s fourth season, and series stars Amanda Tapping, and Robin Dunne recently answered questions about what the fans can expect. The following is an edited transcript from that conversation...
... Question> Great, well I can't wait to see it. Can you talk about some of the guest stars that you have, other than what you just said, that you have coming up this season?
Amanda> Well Ian Tracey is back as Adam Worth, and Jonathon Young is back as Tesla. Peter Wingfield is back as James Watson.
Robin> We have a very, kind of cool new villain this year, played by Brian Markinson.
Amanda> Who's just a phenomenal actor, and we had him in one episode, and loved him so much that we kept bringing him back. Carlo Rota does a couple of episodes of the show. Oh, your dad, Al Sapienza.
Robin> Al Sapienza plays Will's dad, in a wonderful performance, you know him from the Sopranos.
Amanda> Robert Lawrenson is back a fair bit, as Declan, which is great. What you've seen over the past three seasons, as we build the Sanctuary family, we utilize them a lot. And I think that's what I love about the show is if you come on and we really dig you and we have, pretty much dug everyone who's come on the show, and we just keep bringing you back. So it's just a real sense of family here. Gil Bellows, actually came and did our last few episodes with us, and he's phenomenal, so...
Robin> The Sanctuary family is growing. Aww, so cute, it's like the Brady Bunch, but way, way bigger.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES - COLLIDER: Executive Producer/Writer Julie Plec Interview THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Season 3
by Christina Radish
September 29th, 2011
In this week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, entitled “The End of the Affair,” family ties will be revealed, relationships will be explained and familiar faces will return, and it’s only the third episode into Season 3. Collider was one of a handful of outlets invited over to The CW offices to view the episode and all of its edge-of-your-seat moments a day early, and see what hints we could get executive producer/writer Julie Plec to tease, in regard to the upcoming season.
While she didn’t give any specifics or major reveals, Julie Plec did talk about how this episode is just the beginning of what viewers will see of the Originals’ history and origin, what these revelations will do to the relationship between Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev), that the chemistry between Elena and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) will be illuminated more as a result, what the true agenda of the ghosts visiting Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is, when Bonnie (Katerina Graham) will return, how things will develop between Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino), and that viewers should always dread character deaths...
... Q: What can you tease about the ghosts and what their agenda is?
PLEC: "What I can tease is that there definitely is an agenda happening with our ghosts that isn’t just, “Hey, I want to make amends with my loved ones.” As we get into the next episode and Bonnie returns, and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is holding this secret now, this person that’s been very easy to keep a secret from because she’s been away, a couple months have gone by and he hasn’t fessed up to it. So, at what point did it go from not wanting to let her in on something to an out-and-out lie? We’re going to see the emotional consequences of Bonnie bringing Jeremy back to life. It’s put a rift in her romantic relationship with him. And then, over the next couple episodes, our arc is to see what the ghostly and supernatural consequences are of that..."

STARGATE ATLANTIS - GATEWORLD: Hippocratic Oaths - Paul McGillion Interview
by Chad Colvin
Friday - September 30, 2011
Paul McGillion is a hard man to track down. It’s been a busy two years for the Atlantis favorite. Mere months after Syfy aired the final episode, “Enemy at the Gate,” McGillion popped up in a small role in J.J. Abrams big-screen Star Trek reboot. He followed that up with guest spots on shows like Supernatural, V, Sanctuary and more, slowing down just long enough to get married late last year. While we did get a chance to speak with the actor ever-so-briefly last summer, we’ve been chomping at the bit for a proper sit-down.
That chance came recently when Paul was a guest on the Creation Entertainment Official Stargate Convention tour. In our latest discussion with the man who portrayed one of Atlantis‘ most beloved characters, Paul McGillion talks about the new genre comedy series he has in development, some of the projects you’ll see him in soon, his thoughts on the current television landscape without Stargate in it, and more!
... GW: Let’s talk about professionally what you’ve been up to lately. Tell us a little bit about Captain Starship.
PM: Captain Starship is a pilot that we recently completed. We just finished all the post on it. Myself, Michael P. Northey, Ivon Bartok from Stargate — you know he did all the special features, and Jesse James Miller were co-creators and producers on the show. To sum it up, it’s kind of like Two and a Half Men meets Entourage with a sci-fi twist.
GW: Nice! I could actually handle that.
PM: Yeah, it’s a cool script. Michael came up with it years ago when we did Dragon*Con together and [we’ve] always wanted to do something [together].
So it’s kind of like, I have a nephew that moves in with me, this great young actor named Quinn Lord. He’s an 11 year old, and a lot of my buddies hang out with me — that’s where the Entourage aspect comes into play. Michael Northey is one of them and he doesn’t follow the rules of my house so he has to live in a tent on the roof. It’s quite, hopefully, funny.
Erin Karpluk’s also in it. Michael Shanks guest stars in the pilot and he’s fantastic, he’s hilarious. And Erin Karpluk from Being Erica, a big Canadian show that does well, she plays my girlfriend in it. Hopefully people like it. We just submitted it to the Banff Television and Film Festival, where they pick up new product, in June so hopefully we’ll get a nomination. We’ll see what happens..."

NEW YORK MAGAZINE: Mayim Bialik on The Big Bang Theory’s On-Set Awkwardness, Her Blossom Crush, and Performance Anxiety
9/29/11
By: Mina Hochberg
Mayim Bialik currently stars as Über-geek Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory, but fans of a certain age will forever remember her as Blossom Russo, the precocious hat-wearing teen from nineties coming-of-age show Blossom. After taking a decade off from acting to earn a Ph.D. in neuroscience and start a family, Bialik is back in the spotlight. Vulture spoke with her about season five of The Big Bang Theory, her secret Blossom crush (it wasn’t Joey Lawrence), and how dissertation committees are a lot like TV executives...
Mayim Bialik and Johnny Galecki
... Q: You were away from television for more than a decade. How has acting on a TV show changed since then?
Mayim Bialik: "There’s a lot less precision necessary. When I was on Blossom, things had to be done really perfectly. You had to hit marks perfectly. We did all of our own blocking, and now they have professional stand-ins so you don’t stand under all those lights all day — which I think is kind of funny, because to me part of the fun is getting to work with the crew more. In some ways, there’s more paper use than before. When I was on Blossom, we used to have to collate our own scripts, so if there was a script and you got changes, they would give you the stack and you had to insert them into the script. I’m shocked every day on Big Bang Theory when I get a brand-new collated script..."
