... Q: On "Arrow" you play Quentin Lance, Laurel's dad. Will there be more focus on the father daughter realtionship and do you know how it is going to play out?

Paul Blackthorne: "Yes there is, but if I told you how it is going to play out it wouldn't be as much fun to watch, would it!!?"

Q: What is most fascinating about working on a show with a supernatural aspect?

Paul Blackthorne: "Supernatural is interesting as ANYTHING can happen in that world, you never quite know whats round the corner... "Arrow" is interesting too though, as for all it's heightened comic book reality, the character's are very much grounded in the reality of everyday existence, self doubts, relationships etc..."

DIGITAL TRENDS: Defiantly transmedia: Syfy’s Mark Stern talks about Defiance and multi-platform worlds

By Adam Rosenberg
February 13, 2013


Syfy president Mark Stern has gotten a crash course in video game culture over the past few years. Not only from the cable network’s relationship with THQ on Red Faction, but also a five-years-strong partnership with Trion Worlds that culminates in April with the two-pronged launch of Defiance as both a game and a sci-fi TV series. It’s pure transmedia, a word that buzzes for some and feels dirty to others. It’s a new adventure for Stern, who has worked with Trion for the past half-decade on assembling something that fans of sci-fi – whether gamer, TV-lover, or both – can connect with. This is no small challenge for someone who openly admits to having only a light background in video games.

I grew up in the era of Pong and arcade games, so my experience with gaming is living vicariously through my son,Stern told Digital Trends in an interview at the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit. “I have a teenager. I feel very versed riding side-saddle watching him play every single game, but I’m a complete neophyte when it comes to the intricacies of what makes a great MMO versus not.

That’s very scary for me, because I’m completely colorblind when I look at Defiance… I have no idea if it’s a great game or not, except that I trust these guys. They seem to know what they’re doing and they’ve been very truthful and honest. So I’m kind of going on faith...


defiance_cast photo defiance_cast_zps9951daea.jpg

Defiance cast includes Tony Curran, Jaime Murray, Julie Benz, Mia Kirshner, Grant Bowler, Stephanie Leonidas and Graham Greene.

... That trust seems to be well-placed. Trion is no newcomer to the games space, having impressed most everyone who played its 2011 MMORPG Rift with its imaginative world, top-notch technical execution, and original ideas. Syfy is no stranger to taking chances either, or to throwing support behind ideas that click with some community or another. Stern is very much aware that delivering quality content on television is not as simple as saying ‘Let’s make a series that people will respect,’ and he’s learned from past and current games partnerships that it’s much the same situation in the interactive space.

I think I’ve gained a real respect for the fact that, like my media, it looks easy from the outside,” Stern explained. “You really realize there’s so much intricacy and expertise. It’s a creative process and it’s iterative like ours is [on TV]. I gained a deep respect for how difficult [game development] really is, that it’s not just polygons and guns. How deeply these guys go in their mythology is really impressive to me...”

Defiance's Grant Bowler and Julie Benz

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

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.

TV GUIDE: The Thursday Playlist: A Big Bang Valentine, a Zero Hour

Feb 14, 2013
by Matt Roush

Anyone who's been following CBS' powerhouse The Big Bang Theory — and judging by the ratings, that's just about everyone — knows what a hard time Sheldon (Jim Parsons) has when it comes to deciphering the formula of personal gift-giving. (A series highlight was his reaction to Penny's gift of a napkin used by THE Leonard Nimoy.) His dilemma is especially acute in a very enjoyable Valentine's Day episode (8/7c), as he turns to his long-suffering assistant to help fulfill this part of his "relationship agreement" with Amy Farrah Fowler (the hilarious Mayim Bialik). "I think she likes monkeys and the color grey," are his only clues. Some genius.

The other couples — Penny and Leonard, Bernadette and in-the-doghouse Howard — go on a double date that doesn't quite live up to "romance ninja" Leonard's expectations, while Raj convinces Stuart to open up his comic-book store to his chronically unattached clientele. Before each of these stories reaches their unexpected conclusions, especially Sheldon and Amy's, the studio audience can be heard going into "aww" overdrive...

THURSDAY 8 PM on CBS


It’s Valentine’s Day, so that means a double date for Leonard, Penny, Howard, and Bernadette. Sheldon couldn’t make it, because he’s too busy struggling with how to show Amy he cares about her. An affectionate nod during a “Star Trek” commercial break should do it. Plus, Raj and Stuart throw a lonely-hearts party at the comic book store… which seems like the perfect combination of occasion and location.
