... #9: "Supernatural"

Our users say: "What I have followed is a series that is extremely well written using witty dialog that incorporates the pop culture and sci-fi vocabulary such as alternate-universe, angels, vampires, shape-shifters, clones, spirits, hell, heaven, immortality as well as more earthly issues like corporate power, politics and overeating and more using wit and humor. The series does not take itself seriously but somehow manages to incorporate action and a trilling stories that make you care about the characters."

ARROW - MY FANBASE: Exclusive interview with Byron Mann

December 28, 2012
by Nicole Oebel

Most people know Byron Mann since he played the part of Detective Matt Sung on "Dark Angel". Now he is back on TV as part of the "Arrow" cast, portraying the character of Yao Fei. He also plays a big part as Silver Lion in the movie "The Man with the Iron Fists". In this interview he talks about shooting this film, his work with Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZA and his role in "Arrow"...


... Q: On "Arrow" your character Yao Fei turns into a sort sensei for Oliver Queen, who triggers his will to survive. Why do you think Yao Fei does that? What does he see in Oliver?

Byron Mann: "I think Yao Fei thinks that Oliver can potentially help him get off the island. He sees him as an extra hand. But there could be other reasons that may come into play as the series progresses."

Q: Do you know how Yao Fei landed on the island and how he got to be as he is now?

Byron Mann: "There have been hints that he was a former Chinese intelligence officer and also that he might have been a criminal that was sent to this island. But nothing is definitive at this point. I'm finding out information as we shoot..."

TV GUIDE: WINTER TV 2013: MUST-SEE NEW SHOWS


Continuum (Syfy)

Premieres: Monday, Jan. 14 at 8/7c


In this Canadian series set in Vancouver 2077, a group of eight terrorists known as Liber8 (get it?) have been captured and face execution for killing tens of thousands of people in their fight against a corporate-run society. But before the rebels can be executed, they flee by traveling back in time — much to the surprise of law enforcement officer Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), who is swept along with them to 2012. Once there, Kiera allies with a tech dude (Erik Knudsen) to track and apprehend the criminals. Expect lots mind-bending talk of time loops and alternate realities and nifty computer-generated graphics of Kiera's cybernetic police gear.

TV GUIDE: RETURNING WINTER SHOWS: WHERE WE LEFT OFF


The Walking Dead (AMC)

Premieres: Sunday, Feb. 10 at 9/8c


Where We Left Off: Rick & Co. set out to save Glenn and Maggie from the townsfolk of Woodbury, but Michonne had other plans. As the gang raced to escape the war-torn town, Michonne fought the Governor, killing his zombie daughter and poking his eye out with a glass shard. Unfortunately, Daryl didn't make it out of the town, finding himself face-to-face with brother Merle in the Governor's zombie arena. Back at the prison, comic book fan favorite Tyrese arrived!


What's Next: Look for this one-eyed version of the Governor to finally emulate the sadistic villain of the comics as he seeks revenge on Michonne, Rick and the group by taking the fight to the prison. Will Daryl survive? Will Andrea turn against the group? Both questions will definitely be answered before Season 3's end.

TV GUIDE: RETURNING WINTER SHOWS: WHERE WE LEFT OFF

Merlin (Syfy)

Premieres: Friday, Jan. 4 at 10/9c


Where We Left Off: Arthur proposed to Gwen, thus making her Queen of Camelot. Though Merlin appeared to have killed Morgana during a battle in the season finale, the dying sorceress' wounds were healed by the white dragon Aithusa, and it's safe to assume she'll be seeking revenge.

What's Next: The show's fifth and final season (most of which has already aired on the BBC and concluded overseas on Christmas Day) begins with Camelot in the Golden Age. But the good fortune will be short-lived, with the dubious return of Mordred into Arthur's inner circle and his impending showdown with Morgana. Throughout the season, the king will have to overcome evil forces all around him, which may or may not include his new wife. Plus: Will Merlin's secret be revealed?
