A new show from Joss Whedon will always be a big deal, let alone a spin-off from one of the juggernauts of the superhero genre and one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Expectations are naturally high, but a show like “Agents of SHIELD” was never going to succeed if it tried its best to emulate The Avengers or Iron Man, and in the pilot episode, it wisely doesn’t try. Instead, the Whedon clan have set out to create a different kind of experience: low-key, episodic, grounded in ordinary characters struggling against extraordinary situations, whilst still having the hallmarks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While I was watching this episode, I wished that a series had the ability to skip over the second episode and move to the third or fourth episodes. It’s in those future episodes that a series is able to show what it can do. An episode like “Blood Moon” has to spend its time re-hashing the premise of the pilot episode because the writers are looking to get more viewers who didn’t necessarily catch the pilot on first run or even understand what they were setting up.
This season of Syfy's Haven introduced some new characters, one being that of William, played by Colin Ferguson. It's not clear as of yet what he has in store for Audrey, played by Emily Rose, who is now essentially Lexi and has no memory of her previous life after having entered the barn at the end of last season. One thing is clear; however, William knows a lot about Audrey, and not everyone wants him to share that information with her.
Katey Sagal is most popularly known as the wise cracking red head Peg Bundy on the hit show Married with Children. Sagal has had memorable guest appearances on series such as on Lost, as Helen, the love interest for John Locke. She can now be seen as the no nonsense matriarch on Sons of Anarchy as Gemma Teller Morrow. Recently Sagal answered some questions in a conference call.
SciFi Vision recently attended the Fan Expo in Toronto, Canada and got some great press room interview and exclusive photos and videos from the press rooms and The Walking Dead panel (coming soon). The press rooms SciFi Vision attended include ones for Lost Girl, Helix, Defiance, and Warehouse 13, with more to come as time permits. Here's a roundup of what's posted so far.
If the season premiere was fashioned in such a way that a lot of open questions were punted to future episodes, then this installment was a delaying tactic. While there were some interesting explorations of the new status quo all around the sidelines of the main story, the bulk of the episode was dedicated to a “Trouble of the Week” that wasn’t particularly engaging. And considering the anticipation level coming into this season, that is not a good reaction for the audience to have.
Last night, the hit drama Bones returned to FOX for an all new season nine. The series picked up where it left off last season, with the wedding between Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) postponed because of Pelant's (Andrew Leeds) threat, with Brennan in the dark.
