Big Bang

ASSOCIATED PRESS: Kaley Cuoco gets a bang out of 'Big Bang Theory'

By FRAZIER MOORE
November 14, 2012

"I know this sounds like it's not true," says Kaley Cuoco, "but as huge as the show is, it's just part of my life — not my whole life."

"The Big Bang Theory" is huge all right. Now in its sixth season (airing Thursdays on CBS at 8 p.m. EST), it reigns as TV's hottest sitcom, and now hotter than ever with an average 19 million viewers each week.

As virtually every viewer knows by now, "Big Bang" centers on a gaggle of geeky Cal Tech scientists, chief among them Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki), apartment mates who, by great good sitcom fortune, live across the hall from Penny, played by Cuoco. Penny aspires to be an actress but pays the rent by waiting tables at a Cheesecake Factory.

Unlike the boys, Penny is no genius. But neither is she a dumb blonde, which is key to the genius of "Big Bang."

"She's obviously not book-smart," says Cuoco, "but she's street smart and good-hearted and can make fun of herself. The producers never made her ditzy. Maybe she doesn't always get what the guys are talking about. But in that way she represents most of the world."

It was pretty smart to make Penny the "normal" character through whom the audience can enter the abstruse, brainy realm the guys occupy. At the same time, sexy Penny presides as a universal object of desire...

COLLIDER: Luke Pasqualino and David Eick Talk BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BLOOD AND CHROME, Producing a Web Series, How Big a Role Cylons Play and More

by Christina Radish
November 14th, 2012


Executive produced by David Eick, the first two chapters of Blood & Chrome have premiered on the YouTube channel, Machinima Prime, with new episodes being added each week, until November 30th. This highly anticipated chapter in the Battlestar Galactica saga takes place in the midst of the first Cylon war, as the battle between humans and the robotic Cylons rages across the 12 colonial worlds. Gifted fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful battlestars in the Colonial fleet – the Galactica – but he quickly finds himself at odds with his co-pilot, Coker (Ben Cotton). Once those 10 episodes have all been made available, a two-hour movie will air on Syfy, sometime in the first quarter of 2013, with a release on DVD/Blu-ray on sale on February 19th.

During this recent interview about the unique new project, executive producer David Eick talked about how this was always intended as an online project, planning out the entire story arc, having future ideas already developed for further episodes, what it’s like to produce a series like this for the web, why Battlestar Galactica/Caprica executive producer Ronald D. Moore is not involved this time, how big of a role the Cylons will play, and the relationship between Adama and Coker, while actor Luke Pasqualino talked about how grateful he is for this opportunity, his auditioning process for the role, and finding the emotional core of his performance while being surrounded by virtual sets and green screen...


... Q: How big of a part will the Cylons play in Blood & Chrome?

PASQUALINO: "I think me and David both have different views on this, but it does have quite a lot to do with the Cylons and the birth of the Cylons. You actually find things out about the Cylons, in these earlier stages. In Caprica, we saw the complete birth of the Cylons. I don’t think Battlestar would really be Battlestar without the Cylon element in there. To see them from a young Adama’s point of view is something completely different. There are so many different stories that come together to make a big family. There’s the Battlestar story, there’s the Adama story, there’s the Coker storyline, and there’s the Adama and Coker element to it. To see the progression of the Cylons, in that story, throughout Blood & Chrome, is quite magical, really."

EICK: "For sure. Very well put. The only thing that I would add is that I think what the viewers of the 10 segments of this Blood & Chrome story will discover is that, as the Cylons embark on their decision to mimic and surpass human beings, which is a storyline that those who watched Battlestar Galactica know all too well, they didn’t do it overnight. It’s not like they were machines with gears and rivets one day, and then had soft skin the next day. They took time to attempt to approximate an evolution. Human beings went through the fish stage, amphibious stage, a bird stage and a reptile stage, before finally becoming mammals. Throughout this story, we will see examples of those approximations of evolution, and how the Cylons were attempting to push through their evolutionary process in becoming more human-like. Those results can be terrifying and unexpected..."

PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE: “Grimm’s” Silas Weir Mitchell enjoys a new take on cautionary tale

By Kate Benz
Tuesday, November 13, 2012


Hollywood has done its part to make sure we’ve seen our beloved characters presented in every way, shape and form. But never before has anyone come up with the idea to present a werewolf as a Pilates enthusiast whose lover-not-a-fighter mentality makes him slightly less petrifying and slightly more personable.

Cue the entrance of Silas Weir Mitchell, whose character, Monroe, on NBC’s “Grimm” is the walking definition of those characteristics. Lest the name doesn’t give away the obvious, the show takes the twisted tales of the Brothers Grimm and re-purposes them with just a hint of modern-day mystery and crime. It’s up to the reformed Monroe to assist the town detective to figure out exactly how to combat the familiar fairy-tale foes that have infiltrated the real world. After all, if there’s one thing the Brothers Grimm imparted on the world, it’s that not all fairy tales have a happy ending.

Luckily for Mitchell, his professional resume lacks any shadowy dark omens, with credits including stints on “The Mentalist,” “My Name Is Earl,” “Numb3rs,” “Prison Break” and “Dexter...”

monroe_silasweirmitchell1

... Q: Seeing as how Monroe is based on the Big Bad Wolf, has that changed your perspective on how he was portrayed in the fairy tale?

Silas Weir Mitchell: "No, no, no! The Big Bad Wolf is the mythologized version of what were actually Blutbad. So, if you take the world of Grimm, the idea behind the whole thing is that there were these actual Vessen who would change their form, all these different types of underlying mythical elements to people’s personalities that they actually become in moments of stress. So what the Grimm Brothers did is (say), “There’s this actual thing out there rampaging the countryside, so we need to tell people these things, and we’re going to call it the Big Bad Wolf so people know to watch out when they walk through he woods at night.” The Big Bad Wolf is the sanitized version of this sort of warning signal that there are things out there (so people wouldn’t think) the Grimm Brothers were completely insane..."


Grimm's fall finale airs Friday, November 16, 2012 at 9/8C on NBC.
