THE MORTON REPORT: Lost Girl Q & A with Anna Silk, Kris Holden-Ried and Zoie Palmer


By Steve Eramo
January 16, 2012


... This past Tuesday, Lost Girl’s very own Anna Silk (Bo) along with cast mates Kris Holden-Ried (Dyson) and Zoie Palmer (Lauren) generously took time out of filming the show’s second season to speak with me as well as other journalists about what U.S. audiences can look forward to when Lost Girl’s first season premieres Monday, January 16 at 10:00 p.m. EST/PST on Syfy. The following is an edited version of that Q & A. Enjoy!

... Q: Could the three of you tell us what we can expect going into season one of Lost Girl since most people here in the U.S. haven't seen it?

Anna Silk: "The first season introduces the audience to Bo and her journey into this whole Fae world that she's a part of. The various people she meets along the way become her sort of makeshift family, and Lauren, played by Zoie, and Dyson, played by Kris, are among the interesting characters that she meets."

Kris Holden-Ried: "From Dyson's perspective, in the first season we meet Anna’s character of Bo, who’s been raised by a human family. She had no idea that she’s a Fae or that this entire other world of the Fae exists. Dyson and Bo end up crossing paths because of his job. He goes looking not only for criminals but also people who have done things they shouldn't have done, like the Fae, who are revealing themselves to humans. He finds Bo and a wild crazy 13 episodes ensues."

Zoie Palmer: "Then I guess just to finish off, I play Dr. Lauren Lewis, who is a doctor to the Light Fae. There are two types of Fae, the Light and the Dark, and Lauren is a doctor and a scientist to the Light side. Bo comes to her for help on how to control some of the things that are happening with her as she begins to learn what it’s like to be Fae."

Anna Silk: "Just to expand further, Bo did grow up thinking she was human as Kris said, and discovers not only that she's Fae, but actually a succubus, too. It's a pretty rude awakening early on in the season, and while it answers a lot of questions for her, it also opens the door to many more. So that's sort of what we explore in the first season - how Bo fits into this world and the relationships she develops along the way..."


Lost Girl airs Monday at 10/9C on Syfy.

NEW YORK POST: Interview: 'Merlin' star Colin Morgan, Arthurian legend nerd


January 17, 2012
by Maxine Shen


The Season 3 DVD of “Merlin” is in stores today. To celebrate, we broke out the good mead and our fanciest velvet doublet... just kidding. We actually had a chitchat with the BBC/Syfy fantasy series’ extremely well-read star, Colin Morgan (the titular Merlin). He put his vacation on pause to talk Arthurian legend, "Merlin" fans and the two shirts that make up the wizard’s daily wardrobe...

Photobucket

... The Post: Any favorite legend moments that you’ve gotten to film?

Colin Morgan: "I read “The Crystal Cave” book by Mary Stewart and I thought it was a really, really interesting part of the legend, in which Merlin could enter into the cave with these crystals and see reflections of the future in them and learn how to use that and harness those powers for himself. We did explore the Crystal Cave in a past episode, where Merlin tried to change the future and, of course, as everyone knows, if you try to change the future, you’re going to mess everything up, for anyone who’s seen “Back To the Future.” It’s a legend that I’d like to see them revisit, [when] Merlin actually learns how to use [the crystals] because I think he’s matured now since we last did that episode. That’s been my favorite from what I’d read.

Also, I really enjoyed another legend of two dragons underneath a castle: The castle wouldn’t stand because of the [unstable] foundations and they needed the blood of a boy who didn’t have a father to make the castle stand, which I thought was quite dark. So, they came across Merlin, who had no father, but he managed to convince them to dig under the [castle's] foundation. Under the foundation, they found two eggs - they hatched and one was a red dragon and one was a white dragon and they fought. It was a symbol of the Welsh fighting the English, so it was like a premonition type thing. There’s a lot of stuff like that that they could explore...
"

Merlin season four airs on Syfy on Friday at 10/9C.

TV GUIDE: NCIS Stars Pick Their Favorite Episodes

Jan 17, 2012
by Chris Willman


With NCIS' 200th episode approaching on Feb. 7, we asked the cast, along with current show-runner Gary Glasberg, to share some favorite episodes or scenes from the first eight and a half years. For more on the 200th episode, check out the cover story of TV Guide Magazine, on newsstands Thursday...



... Michael Weatherly

"Dead Man Talking" [Season 1] "That was our 19th episode, and it could be the first that was a true blending of all the elements — the first one that you could say, that's an NCIS episode. It has the whole package. It starts when Pacci, one of our special agents who worked in the squad room, gets gutted in an elevator. We go to the crime scene and his entrails are out. It's grim. And within one act, I'm undercover, tracking a transvestite, who I end up making out with in a bar. It's hijinx galore. In the end she gets up and runs right into Gibbs, and he blows her head off. It's the most [messed] up episode!"

... Question: Any word with what's going on with BBC's Being Human? I heard the actor who plays Mitchell left and the one playing George is going to leave. Will there be a new season on BBC America? I never started watching the Syfy series because I was watching the BBC edition. How does it compare to the British one?

— Carol



Matt Roush: Late last week, BBC America announced the fourth season of the original (and superior) version of Being Human would begin airing Feb. 25 as part of the Supernatural Saturdays franchise. Aidan Turner (Mitchell) left at the end of last season — quite violently and memorably, if you'll recall — and by all accounts, this appears to be a transitional season for Russell Tovey (George) as well, with new characters being introduced as the originals are phased out. (Lenora Crichlow stays put as Annie, for continuity's sake.) I'll reserve judgment until I see how the new blood plays out, but it's hard to imagine it will leave me as unimpressed as the Syfy version does...
