LOST GIRL - CANADIAN SCREENWRITER MAGAZINE: SPRING 2013 ISSUE: SHOWRUNNER EMILY ANDRAS INTERVIEW

Balancing the Best of Both Worlds on Lost Girl

BY Diane Wild


Genre is 100% mainstream,” declares Lost Girl showrunner Emily Andras. “I always joke about that little movie that could, The Avengers. But you still have to find your place in the world and your voice.”

Part of the Lost Girl writing team since season one – allowing for a couple of pregnancies – Andras took over showrunning duties in season three and is currently in the throes of developing season four with her small but mighty writers room, which includes (so far) Alexandra Zarowny, Steve Cochrane and Michael Grass.

Andras does feel the show has had to overcome the “stink eye” provoked by its premise. “The reaction is hilarious. She’s a bisexual succubus who feeds off of sexual energy? So it’s like Red Shoe Diaries but with the CN Tower in the background, right? But it’s such a credit to my writers that I feel like the show is always 25% better than it has any right to be...

MTV GEEK: Interview: 'Doctor Who's' Impossible Girl, Jenna-Louise Coleman

4/9/13
By Aaron Sagers


With all due respect to the Time Lord, ever since Jenna-Louise Coleman made her surprise appearance on last September's episode of "Doctor Who," the new companion has been generating enough buzz to make us ask, “Doctor … who?”

When she was cast in March 2012, Coleman’s debut as Clara, the new roadtrip partner through time and space with ancient alien the Doctor was supposed to occur in the 2012 Christmas Special. Then showrunner and executive producer Steven Moffat pulled a fast one on fans and introduced her on the September 2012 Season Seven premiere – sort of.

Clara was introduced as Oswin Oswald, a surviving “junior entertainment manager” from a luxury spaceship in the future. She was eventually assimilated into a Dalek and died after meeting the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor, played by Matt Smith. She then popped up in Victorian England as nanny Clara Oswin Oswald, but died after meeting the Doctor. Again.

And in the second-half of Season Seven premiere Coleman returned as Clara in the episode “The Bells of Saint John,” where she began full-time companion duties.

Confused yet? You probably should be. Aside from the fact that this is the 50th year of “Doctor Who” (let’s just ignore that 16 year break, interrupted only by a TV movie, shall we?), this new breadcrumb storyline has created a tasty mystery for Whovians out there. As Moffat pointed out, the show has always been “more of the story of the companion” because “they change more than the Doctor ever did...”

... Jenna-Louise Coleman spoke with MTV Geek on a press trip in Los Angeles -- during a “girly lunch” where she was “soaking up the sunshine” – to discuss her ongoing role as a character split into three people, as well as what it is like to be involved in a beloved franchise surrounded by toys and collectibles. And yes, she reveals a little more about what we’ll see (more of the TARDIS?) and learn this season...

... Geek: In the episodes of the second half of the season, you guys kind of have a James Bond adventure, a haunted house adventure and so on. Which of these worlds is the most fun for you to play in?

Coleman: "Well, Clara’s, in a way -- in terms of costumes and that kind of thing. Like it is the Victorian stuff, or the elements in the Christmas special, with the clouds and the staircases. But the other episode, which is one of my personal favorites is “The Rings of Akhaten” because that really was, as Clara’s first experience for everything, is totally alien. She steps onto this alien planet, and sees Earth from a distance, and it’s kind of like the episode’s birth for her. And it also has a big heart. It’s a very emotional episode actually with some of action in it. But it is her first glimpse of outer space and seeing what life is going to be like traveling with the Doctor. Visually, you’re completely transported, kind of similar to Avatar. And that was one of my favorites, being in an amphitheater of aliens..."
