DEFIANCE - SYFY VIDEO: SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2012 PANEL

Panel moderator is Los Angeles Times Hero Complex editor Geoff Boucher, Defiance cast includes Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas, Tony Curran, Jaime Murray, Mia Kirshner, executive producer Kevin Murphy and Syfy's Mark Stern.

In Defiance™, the future is a dangerous place. Starship wreckage is raining to Earth in massive "Arkfall" events that transform the landscape. Experience one first-hand as countless other players -- and a star from the Syfy series -- battle to survive and profit. Watch Ark Hunters wield the weapons of tomorrow against alien-hybrid horrors in a dynamic, scaling encounter, then travel seamlessly through a unified world into the weekly TV series. This -- Defiance -- is the future of transmedia entertainment.

The first of its kind, Defiance is the quintessential media property created with Igniters in mind— sparking their imaginations while encouraging them to truly open their minds to what is possible.

Set on Earth thirty years in the future, Defiance is a story of courage and survival on a new frontier where humans and aliens must band together to defend their very existence. United they stand. Divided they fall. It’s do or die in the small town of Defiance.

Defiance airs on Syfy on Monday, April 15, 2013 at 9/8C with a two-hour premiere episode.

ALPHAS - NBCU DIRECT: LAURA MENNELL VIDEO INTERVIEW

The second season of "Alphas" premieres on Monday July 23rd at 10/9c. We caught up with star Laura Mennell to find out what's in store for this season and her character. Mennell plays the attractive and sophisticated Nina Theroux who gives new meaning to the idea that a woman " always gets what she wants." Her alpha skill is called "pushing" and it involves the disruption of the specific neural pathways in the cerebral cortex that leave the brain vulnerable to suggestion. It's Nina's curse to know that those aware of her ability, cannot distinguish if she is being genuine or if she is controlling them.

We asked Mennell, what she would do if she had that power for a day in her life and who she thinks the Alphas of the real world are. She mentioned Darren Brown as a real world Alpha but also said " little bits of Alpha behavior can pop up in everyone." Hear more of her response PLUS a message to her loyal fans:

TV WORTH WATCHING: BEST BETS THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2012


... FORBIDDEN PLANET

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1956 sci-fi movie is a classic in its genre, not only because of its cool robot, but because of its source material: Shakespeare’s The Tempest. And as a bonus, it features the gorgeous Anne Francis. So with three good reasons to watch, why not? And there’s a fourth: Her male co-star is Leslie Nielsen, playing it straight.
