... Question: Fringe is great, it really is. I wish more people watched the show. It always seems like it ends too soon because I want to keep watching it. The writers on the show are so creative. When Peter got zapped into the lake this week, I was so excited and happy that he is back. What did you think? I did miss Lincoln this week, even though it made sense that he was not there. Do you think we will still get to see him as often now that Peter is back? I like the idea of a Peter/Olivia/Lincoln love triangle, do you? Now that Peter is back, will the history go back to what it was before he got put into limbo or not? I thought they effectively got rid of the baby issue by making him disappear. I did not like the idea of the faux Olivia and Peter baby to start with. Did you? We do get a full season of Fringe this year, right? I wish there were more episodes of Terra Nova too. I understand the episodes are expensive to produce, but even the summer shows usually have 12 episodes. Hopefully it will get picked up for a full season next year. I am just happy that sci-fi is hanging on in the TV world! — Susan


Matt Roush: I loved the reveal of Peter's return, and the fact that nobody including Olivia recognizes him. Such great twists on this show. My understanding is that the timeline stays as is, but now has to adjust to the existence of a Peter Bishop within it. I'm fascinated to see how they reestablish his relationship with Olivia (and Walter, of course), and how Lincoln's presence on the team changes the dynamic. Like you, I'm OK if this eradicates the baby subplot, but I don't want to get ahead of the story. (Reminder: This is not a spoiler column.) Regarding Terra Nova, I'm OK with the limited first season — and if I'm not mistaken, it's at least on par with cable in airing 13 hours before it wraps in December. The show is still finding its groove, and if it's renewed (which I believe it will be, given the investment), the growing pains of this first season can be addressed in the second. It's never going to be the edgiest sci-fi drama. It doesn't have to be. We have Fringe for that. But as a pleasurable and gorgeous looking piece of family-friendly escapist adventure, it's growing on me.

... Question: I had a question about the concept of the bad boy. I watch The Vampire Diaries religiously, and I enjoy the character of Damon. I understand that he is a vampire and his very nature is evil, and I also understand that he longs to be more caring and loving, especially with Elena. However, I remain convinced that Elena's best love interest is Stefan. Even though Damon has shown some redeeming qualities, he mostly has tried to kill everyone Elena loves (sometimes accomplishing it), used her friend for blood and sex and forced her to drink his blood so she would turn into a vampire if she died. I am not sure how anyone could root for them as a couple. This trend of wanting the heroine of a show to be with the bad boy instead of the decent guy is upsetting. We see it on True Blood and that show from last year, Life Unexpected. I think it shows young girls that you should strive to be with the bad boy because he is more exciting and overlook all the horrible things he has done to you and others. People may think Stefan is boring, but he respects Elena and would never do anything to intentionally hurt her despite his vampire nature. — Rachel


Matt Roush: The allure of the bad boy is hardly a new phenom; just think Marlon Brando and The Wild One as an icon that set the trend. What I like about the way Vampire Diaries has evolved Damon, and True Blood Eric, especially in Blood's last season (my favorite since the first), is that we get to see the side they've long repressed in their embrace of evil and/or power: the romantic who lurks beneath the villain, which only makes them more interesting and compelling as characters. With True Blood, the whole time Sookie indulged her torrid fling with the "good Eric," she dreaded the day he might revert back to form. With Diaries, we have Elena leaning on Damon and drawn (as any romantic would be) to his inner struggle to honor his brother while protecting the woman they both love from this evil incarnation of Stefan. None of this ignores their past bad deeds, but supernatural tales tend to be stories of redemption as well, and the reason these shows work is that the respective heroines have chemistry with both the good and the bad vamps, and our ambivalence about who to root for is part of the fun. In Diaries, no matter what wickedness Stefan commits under Klaus's spell, we're still meant to believe that he and Elena are soulmates. Ditto (departing from the Charlaine Harris books) Sookie and Bill, though that's less clear at this point. But if you're looking at these characters to be role models for the young audience, you're barking up the wrong genre.

Neverland Syfy Official Site

Neverland, a prequel to author J.M. Barrie's classic, Peter Pan, sweeps in time from the turbulent seas of the pirates of the Caribbean and the back alleys of Dickensian London to a world of pure imagination. The cast includes Rhys Ifans (Pirate Radio, Notting Hill) as James Hook, Oscar nominee Keira Knightley as the voice of Tinker Bell, Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) as Captain Elizabeth Bonny, Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins as Smee (who previously played the character in Steven Spielberg's feature, Hook), Raoul Trujillo (Tin Man) and Charlie Rowe (Pirate Radio) as one of literature's most cherished characters, Peter Pan.

Photobucket

Peter (Rowe), along with his pals of young pickpockets, have been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook (Ifans) to snatch a magical orb which transports them to another world - Neverland. Filled with white jungles and imposing cities formed out of trees created by Dr. Fludd (Dance) and inhabited by a colony of tree spirits led by Tinker Bell (Knightley), this mysterious realm welcomes unknown friends and enemies snatched from time. These include power-mad Elizabeth Bonny (Friel) and her band of 18th century pirates who search for the answer to eternal youth, a secret guarded by a Holy Man (Trujillo). As the fight to save this strange and beautiful world escalates, Peter and his crew consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up—right here in their new home called Neverland.

Case Histories

MASTERPIECE MYSTERY - PBS VIDEO FEATURETTE: 'Case Histories' Episode 2 Airs Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 9/8C

While jogging along a beach, Edinburgh private investigator Jackson Brodie spots a lifeless woman in the water surrounded by pink cards. Brodie thrashes through the waves towards her as childhood memories of his own sister's water tragedy overtake him. As he turns the woman over, her distinctly Eastern Orthodox earrings dangling in the water, Brodie has unexpectedly waded into his next case.

Shaken but back on solid ground, Brodie, along with crime novelist Martin Canning, witness a horrifying act of road rage. Canning seems more confident in his fictional world than the real one, and incessantly begs Brodie to protect him given that Canning has witnessed this crime. But is Brodie the real one next in line for a violent end?

Meanwhile, Gloria Hatter sits at the hospital absorbing the news that her husband Graham is in a coma, and incomprehensibly, was with his dominatrix when it happened. But that's not even the most shocking secret that Gloria with the help of Brodie will unearth about her husband.

Brodie races to resolve the cases while also facing the poignant truth that he may not be able to protect and keep close to his own daughter forever. Based on the novel One Good Turn by acclaimed writer Kate Atkinson, Case Histories stars Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter films) as Jackson Brodie.

Cast includes Jason Isaacs, Amanda Abbington, Natasha Little, Kirsty Mitchell, Zawe Ashton, Millie Innes, Edward Corrie, Adam Godley, Keith Allen, Marion Bailey and Simon Weir.
