Colin Cunningham & Moon Bloodgood Return to "Falling Skies"
By Jamie Ruby
Basic cable’s number one new series last year, Falling Skies, will return on Sunday for its second season. The series is about life and survival after an alien invasion. The show follows the 2nd Massachusetts civilian resistance group, led by Commander Weaver (Will Patton) and unlikely leader and former college professor Tom Mason (Noah Wyle).
The series also stars Moon Bloodgood as Anne Glass, the pediatrician-turned combat doctor, who does what she can to help everyone cope, as well as Colin Cunningham, as John Pope. Pope is the leader of a group of fighters called the “Berserkers,” and is all about killing skitters and living on his own terms.
Bloodgood and Cunningham recently discussed the upcoming season with the digital media.

"Prometheus:" It’s a Prequel, But Not That Kind
By Daniel Denehy
Without a doubt Prometheus is a prequel to Alien, but only in classification. See, the Alien series is interesting in that the franchise encompasses multiple genres. Alien was a horror movie set in space, Aliens through Alien Resurrection were action movies in space, the AVP movies were parodies that took themselves seriously with sci-fi back story, but Prometheus is a hard science fiction movie. That is to say, unlike its predecessors it was not meant to scare or to excite, it is meant to inspire thought. I'll tell you right now, if you're going to see it and expecting Aliens, you will be sorely disappointed or bored; however, that's not to say there's not monsters and death, just that those take a back seat. No, this film tries to ask the question, "How you would react if you met your god, and he or she wasn't what you expected?"

Eureka 5.8 Review: "In Too Deep"
By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
Despite the fact that this episode marks the marriage of Carter and Allison, as well as the reveal that Holly is still dying, this felt like something of a step back from the longer-term story arcs. "In Too Deep" is mostly about exploring Carter and Allison's relationship issues against the backdrop of another Eureka disaster. I was a bit disappointed to see Allison devolving into such childish behavior. I almost audibly sighed when the old issues of recent episodes started to crop up again, albeit only from Allison's mouth. In fairness, I suppose there's an argument to be made that Allison isn't totally off the mark, given what we've learned about the Matrix, and the fact that she was in there a good deal longer than Carter was. But I was really hoping that we were past this.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
After four seasons of memorable season finale episodes, each with a major event that shifts the foundation of the series, "The Phantom" takes a different, stranger tack. It seems fitting that a largely introspective season -- one where it has spent the majority of the time exploring the characters' darker impulses and desires -- ends with an introspective finale.

By John Keegan
As noted repeatedly, the writers make adjustments to the historical record whenever the dramatic license is required to make the story flow in the right direction. That is certainly true in this episode, where various events are rearranged to bring season arcs to their logical resolution. Not only is the matter of Juan's descent handled in the expected fashion, but Savonarola saw his comeuppance far earlier than anticipated.

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
Nothing lasts forever, and sadly, this is true of "Lost Girl" and its recent run of solid episodes. The show is rarely actively bad, but "Death Didn't Become Him" is the kind of storytelling that's very bland and not compelling, saved only by some interesting subplots. While some people like the unengaging kind of storytelling, "Lost Girl" usually holds itself to a much higher standard.
