THE CLOSER - DAEMON'S TV: Corey Reynolds Talks About Sgt. Gabriel’s Morality, The Closer Spinoff & Being Awesome

July 11, 2011
by Eric


THE CLOSER, my all time favorite crime drama is back for a seventh and final season which makes this a bitter sweet reunion.

As a consolation prize, Daemon’s TV was extremely fortunate to have a chat with series star Corey Reynolds who plays Sgt. David Gabriel, the young moral detective who also happens to be Deputy Police Chief Brenda Johnson’s right-hand man. Corey shared a lot about this upcoming season, the morality of his character and which episode resonated with him the most.

Check out our chat below and don’t forget to tune in to watch the The Closer premiere “Unknown Trouble” which airs tonight Monday July 11 at at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) on TNT...



... Q: What can we expect from this seventh and final season, and more specifically, from your character?

Corey Reynolds: "Well, this season’s theme is love and loss which is apropos. We see a few different things from my character. One of the through lines for the season is a case regarding a gang-banger from last year named Terrell Baylor who as part of the decision that led to us releasing him led to his death. That’s something that’s carrying over. We’re all being investigated because of it. That’s one thing that’s going to carry through the entire season, and the whole squad is involved, but my character, Raymond Cruz’s character, Sanchez, and Brenda were the three officers that were in the car. It kind of divides us because I think there was some discrepancy within the characters as to how we should’ve handled that situation."

Q: I do remember that episode. I was puzzled about that scene as well.

Corey Reynolds: "Yeah, and that’s actually coming back this season in a big way. It creates quite a challenge for the squad to continue to function as a group the way that we have as we are all in the midst of some chaos caused by Chief Johnson at least according Terrell Baylor’s lawyer.

So, we’re all kind of looking at her tactics in different ways. My character has learned a lot from her in the sense that I think in the beginning he was very black and white as far as his take on things. What she introduced to him was the lovely land of grey. Unfortunately in this instance it comes back and creates some problems for us and that’s going to be a major storyline through the run of the season..."

... Warehouse 13

9:00 PM, SYFY

In the season premiere, "The New Guy," Aaron Ashmore ("Smallville") joins the cast as Steve Jinks, a young ATF agent with an innate ability to detect when someone is lying, who is recruited by Mrs. Frederic (CCH Pounder) to be Pete's (Eddie McClintock) new Warehouse 13 partner. As you may recall, in last season's finale, Myka (Joanne Kelly) abruptly quit her job at the Warehouse after being betrayed by the duplicitous H.G. Wells (Jaime Murray).

ALPHAS - DAEMON'S TV: Warren Christie Talks Stunts, Cast Chemistry and Zombies

July 11, 2011
by Eric

After talking to the lovely Azita Ghanizada about Alphas, Daemon’s TV was delightfully surprised to also get the chance to talk to Warren Christie, the resident “hyperkinetic” on the Alphas team who could realistically harpoon a fly with a toothpick thanks to his extreme ability at controlling his body movements.

Warren had a lot to say about what folks can expect from the premiere episode (which our writer Dynamaria loved in her review “ALPHAS “Pilot” Advance Review“), what kind of stunts come with the character ability and how much he wants to be a zombie ... but a nice one though.

Check out what he had to share below and don’t forget to tune to watch the pilot episode of Alphas tonight Monday, July 11 at 10/9c...



... Q: Cameron’s is hyperkinetic which involves perfect balance and enhanced motor skills. Does that mean you get to do a lot of stunts since your character does a lot of that?

Warren Christie: "I do, yeah, and that’s another thing that attracted me to the role. First and foremost it was the character and the depth of what he had going on and the excitement of the script and then there was a physical element to the stunts and whatnot. I hadn’t really done too much of that. A little bit, but not too much of that before, and that really attracted me to it. I thought that it would be a lot of fun.

It’s not just the fact that there’s these stunts, a lot of running and different things like that, but it’s the nature of what happens and the beauty of it is that because Cameron when he first comes into the group doesn’t really understand his abilities or know what it is or even recognize it. Because of that each week as he works with Dr. Rosen, it’s growing and it’s enhancing and he’s learning how to control it, but it’s also spreading off into other different areas and he’s really trying to learn how to control it. So that means each week that he can do a little bit more and can help a little bit more and exciting and fun. So, it’s been a lot of fun for that side of it..."

TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY - FRESNO BEE: Eve Myles Interview

Sunday, Jul. 10, 2011
By Rick Bentley


While waiting to do an interview for the Starz network series "Camelot," I bump into Eve Myles. We chat about her new Starz series, "Torchwood: Miracle Day" and the possibilities of her and her family visiting Yosemite National Park while she's living in Los Angeles.

The Welsh actress, who has temporarily moved to the United States to film the cable series, loves camping. The national park would be a great way to get away from work.

Myles is a rather petite woman, but after only a few moments chatting it's clear she could act tougher than she looks if a problem came up in the wild. She's already faced down one California critter.

"I had a little meeting with a coyote on the hills. It looked at my dog like it was a hamburger. And I thought there's one way out. I turned into Gwen Cooper," Myles says.

For those of you not familiar with the BBC series 'Torchwood," Cooper's the character Myles played, an investigator of the odd and unusual with which you don't want to mess.

But fact and fiction are very different.

"The thing I picked up was a bamboo shoot. So I could have tickled it or something. I don't know," she says. "And, yeah, the coyote won. So I turned around, and I ran off the mountain."

She did show a little bit of Cooper when she threw an orange at the beast.

WAREHOUSE 13 - AM NEW YORK: Saul Rubinek dishes on the new season

7/10/11
By Scott A. Rosenberg

Any tried-and-true "Indiana Jones" fan would love a chance to go digging through the warehouse at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

Thankfully, we have the Syfy Channel series "Warehouse 13" - which has its own unique artifact depository - to help satisfy that desire. The show, beginning its third season Monday night, mixes the procedural and fantasy adventure genres in following a covert organization that gathers and protects the population from mysterious and potential deadly artifacts.

amNY spoke with Saul Rubinek, 63, who plays the eccentric Artie Nielson, the man in charge of the warehouse...



... Q: What does the third season bring for the show?


Saul Rubinek: "It's an interesting place to get. First season, you're in the dark, you don't know what's going on. Then, in the second season, we already knew the series was a hit, which is an amazing place to be. And we wanted to keep the fans happy, and one of the ways to do that is to keep surprising them. Third season, [we] wanted to go deep. The great thing is that the show is built on quite an intricate and well-thought-out historical mythology. We know our fans are as fascinated as the writers are with that history..."

Warehouse 13 season three premieres Monday, July 11, 2011 at 9/8C on Syfy.

... Alphas

10-11:30 PM SYFY, SERIES DEBUT

Five people with heightened abilities (superstrength, supersenses, etc.) band together to fight crime. The quintet are led by David Strathairn, who's sort of Professor X to their X-Men (the premiere is co-written by X3 screenwriter Zak Penn). Strathairn helps the credibility of the melodrama a lot. Alphas may remind some viewers of Heroes, and is a dropped ABC pilot, but it's not damaged goods. It's fun and swift, and Callum Keith Rennie has a bigger role than he did on The Killing, here playing the Alphas' Pentagon contact.

EUREKA | WAREHOUSE 13 | ALPHAS: TV WASTELAND: Syfy’s Alphas Bet

By Rob Vaux
July 10, 2011

Syfy has chosen this week to unleash its tsunami of summer shows: Warehouse 13, Eureka, and Haven all return with new seasons ... and the rookie Alphas tagging along for the ride. Frankly speaking, it looks like a dud. Its concept is borrowed from Heroes, The Cape and about a dozen other failed superhero shows, as a band of people with extraordinary abilities try to save the world from those who would enslave it. Or something. At this stage, television is suffering from serious comic book fatigue, and while Alphas boasts the stalwart David Strathairn as the team’s mentor/leader, that’s not nearly enough to lend it any sense of freshness or originality.

Syfy seemingly agrees by stacking the deck in the show’s favor. It opens Monday night at 10:00, with Eureka and Warehouse 13 serving as lead-ins. Will the ploy work? Hard to say. On the one hand, it will presumably leave a loyal audience based ready to keep watching. On the other hand, its late run time means that folks may head to bed if they don’t like what they see ... or worse, use their DVRs to watch the lead-ins whenever they damn well please. Still, Syfy has created unlikely hits from worse material (see Haven, premiering this Friday night), and Alphas may benefit from whatever tangential Midas touch they can produce. You can see for yourself this Monday ... and if you don’t like it, there’s plenty of other options. Let’s have a look at them [at the link above].

MASTERPIECE MYSTERY - PBS VIDEO: Zen: 'Vendetta' Episode Trailer Airs Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 9/8C

Starring Rufus Sewell, based on the novels by Michael Dibdin

In "Vendetta," suave Italian police detective Aurelio Zen (Rufus Sewell) reinvestigates a closed murder case. His boss insists that he confirm the original outcome while a justice official orders him---for political reasons---to reach another conclusion. Meanwhile, a psychopathic killer has targeted him for daring to send him to jail years earlier; and he finds himself attracted to the chief's married assistant (Caterina Murino).

A killer is on a vendetta-fuelled rampage against those who wrongly imprisoned him, including a cop who had almost nothing to do with it: Aurelio Zen. Can Zen juggle staying alive, investigating a politically-charged murder, and courting his new officemate, Tania (Caterina Murino), at the same time?

Cast includes Rufus Sewell, Caterina Murino, Ben Miles, Ed Stoppard, Greg Wise, Stanley Townsend, Francesco Quinn and Peter Guinness.
